Issues With Abs/4wd System?

Hey Guys,

I need some help in trying to figure out what is going on with my car..

So on the weekend i was driving home from getting my windows tinted and all of sudden my ABS & 4WD light came on, the car did not feel any different in any way. About 5 min later a pulled over and turned the car off for a minute then turned it back on and the lights were gone until about another 4 min later and the ABS light turned on and so did the 4WD light but the 4WD light was turning on and off in no particular pattern and it also dimmed at one stage however the car was still driving fine.

Anyway i get home and turn the car off for a bit to check all the fuses and make sure the fluid in the boot space was alright and it was all good, i then came back a short while later to have a look again however this time when turning the car on i heard a continuous buzzing noise and the steering felt funny (hard) so i ended tracing the buzzing noise back to the black box on the ABS pump. I opened it up to find two relays so i assumed that is what was making the buzzing noise i pulled them out gave them a little clean and put them back in and started the car to find the buzzing noise had stopped but the ABS/4WD lights were still on?

now i know that didn't solve the problem so im going to buy two new relays and replace them anyway because it is an old car and they are more then likely stuffed, but i need some help in diagnosing these issues?

Can anybody suggest a good mechanic to take it to? I live near Rouse Hill NSW, i was thinking of getting in contact with MRC in castle hill but i have never dealt with them before. Im just not certain who might be the best to turn to for this kind of problem?

I know someone is going to suggest diagnosing the attesa myself but i am not experienced in doing so and i would rather have the car looked at by a professional.

Cheers!

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.

      100% agree. Best bet on an RB will be NEO, but even it will be a long way off. Emissions is one of the big reasons car manufacturers went to DBW and constantly variable cams. When cruising, open the throttle right up, but reduce dynamic compression so low, that it's basically an unrestricted air pump moving very little air.

      I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
