Hey Paul, I'll have to catch up with you sometime soon. Bit of trivia, i put those el dials in for Ace. I'm in the process of having my car rubbed back, repaired and resprayed. Need to have a cruise for sure!

Reseting of ECU didnt help....Technikhaus wrote:Reset the ECU and then give it a week and see how it goes.FTOdream wrote:Thanks~ACE was responsible for that....did a good job in tastefully modifying (to my taste anyway).shadowarrior wrote:Welcome to the club. Nice looking front kit and wing.
I guess he might be happy it's gone to a good home (he must be missing her).
Thanks for the welcome....
Seems I'm up for a stepper motor....stalling occasionally.....I'll try cleaning it first.
Stalling problems gets worse...going to pull the stepper motor tomorrow...clean and set the idle to 2000rmp cold an check idle when normal temp and see its fixed...if not...i will check ohms on pins to see if the coils (stepper motor electrics) are ok.....
Other than that shes running beautifully
Perhaps this is now in the wrong section

It will take a week or so for it to get itself back to normal after resetting it.

This^^^
After the ECU is reset it needs to re learn everything from scratch.
Take it for a good spirited drive.

I recently completed close to 2000k in it with no problems.
I had a UHF installed before I left ;just in case. Can't say much for the roads though

Update...drove all the way to Cairns
No problems....of course serviced, oil change and checked everything before the trip.
Got good fuel consumption on the trip. I've got to say the roads weren't great...watch out for the pot holes
I didn't drive at night so I missed all the kangaroos.
Haven't seen any other FTOs up here yet.
Tasmania to Cairns...hehehe...pretty good trip.

It's certainly a nice place to live or visit"....I recently went to the folk festival in yungaburra which was great.dstocks wrote:Love the Atherton Tablelands. I will have to make another trip up that way next year.
For me the Irish music played live at the pub was the highlight.
Let me know when you are coming through this way
