@davidf You've been through the wringer on this one! Ok, let's talk about engine sensors and sensor wiring. I'm wondering if you've got an engine spee...
@jonasr1 Does it shift by hand? Get the rear wheels off the ground, then move the shifter on the gearbox by hand. Can you feel the detent go? Then rot...
@davidf Let's blame fouled spark plugs. If the plugs are fouled no amount of cleaning them will get the engine to run right, and plugs are cheap and e...
@joep Gotcha. I keep thinking this would be a lot easier to resolve if we had proper engine data -- like, say from a MoTeC ECU, or even an open Life E...
@davidf @rjbender @joep @charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com I don't see how a low fuel situation would prevent a car from idling, but would allow ...
@slip_angle No, I'm a track day guy, mostly with Chin. My car is a 2009 SR8 with tons of mods. I enjoy that as much as running the car.
@slip_angle That's cool. I'm in east Orange County just off the 528. Are you planning on racing the car? Or running track days? Both?
@slip_angle Welcome Chris! My paddock neighbor last weekend at Sebring had an SR10 loaner. His new SR10 is coming soon. Are you Florida-based?
In fact, if you can have a look at spark advance as well in the log. You should see it changing fairly rapidly as the RPM dies.
@davidf The engine seems to be behaving as if it doesn't know it's idling, as the ECU makes extra effort to keep an idling engine running, using spar...
@davidf Hi David -- that's quite a puzzle. Can you see the TPS % via data log? Is it above zero when the engine dies?
I don't strap down the fronts either. Just the rear, similar to the photoshopped photo above. Now then: you need an enclosed trailer. 20 feet is ple...
@darrahc Welcome Clark! I got to see an SR10 up close this past weekend, and play tag with it on track (I've got an older SR8). It's very impressive...
Brian (the owner of the SR10) was also complaining about the handling -- that it wasn't nearly as good as HIS SR3. In fact, he seriously tried to buy ...
@bill-snead Hi Bill, It's not an engine-out procedure on the SR8, and is something I've done many times. But I can't say on the RXC -- as the chassi...
