As an Australian, I remember that treaty, and the treaty burning party we had 2 minutes after it was signed.

 

I am highly impressed at your knowledge of NZ history, including that of our overseas outposts...

That's why its a little known clause and why there are not many Maori in Australia. That little burning incident curtailed immigration of the Maori from that day until this very day.
It's amazing what we learned in Texas public schools. I'll try to stay on topic from now on. Sorry about that (to whoever started this thread).

 

Ok. It's 10.3 volts at idle and scooting down the road at a normal speed in the hood.

Its 12.6 volts at full throttle, uphill, 10psi on the boost gauge, afr of 11.1

Turning the lights on, full throttle, uphill, 10psi boost, 12.4 volts.

Prior to the rewire the voltage would fall under 12 volts. I did not write the figures down at that time. Somewhere b/t 11.5 to 11.75 volts.

That's why I'm pleased as punch with the way I did it.

Further research shows the Wombat was a strong swimmer and liked to swim far distances to faraway places. The Wombats in NZ are like the Yeti in the northwest section of the USA. They prefer to remain out of sight. Shy creatures.
Numerous sightings have been made in the Nelson Lakes National Park. Check out the local newspapers for the numerous reports of sightings of the Wombat. Even better, go to the region and ask the locals about the best way you can go about seeing a Wombat.

 

Mine clicks when i tap tha gas but only when i just start it, hot or cold. But it goes away in a couple of minutes and does not affect the car or idle at all.

 

A wombat swimming... I'd PAY to see that.

(just a note to those that have no idea what a wombat is, just think of a LARGE groundhog )

 

********I'd PAY to see that*************

How much????? Actually you don't have to pay anything. Just run up to Nelson Lakes National Park, and on any full moon you can see them swimming in the moonlight. Ask the locals for directions.

You doubt their swimming ability? They employ the same principles that the SuperGuppy uses to fly. See this url for what I mean. Looks can be deceiving:

Oh, about the thread, I'm working at a good answer for your problem. Really! These things take time. Sort of like a Wombat learning to swim. You've got to start with one stroke at a time, til your gliding thru the water with practically no effort. That's how they manage to swim such long distances i.e NewZealand.

That sounds like they should work. I've driven with a mechanical fuel pressure gauge tied to the windshield wipers and observed the pressure. One thing I remember about doing that was a jump in the fuel pressure when I stomped the pedal and got into boost range. Maybe Mr Jarrett ( elderly gentleman) can check his fuel rail pressure sometime during the clicking ?????????

Hey! That was *ON TOPIC*, for a change.

 

I am greatly concerned about your state of mental health...

Glad to hear yor results were positive. I really must pull finger and do this. I'll still relocate the relay/resistor though, coz it'll free up room to get a decent sized cold air duct in.

 

Wow! I go away for a few and look what happens.... Thread hijack!!

YOu old guys need a life!...

Jarrett

 

****. Maybe Mr Jarrett ( elderly gentleman) can check his fuel rail pressure sometime during the clicking ?????????*****
The above was a hidden message Mr Jarrett. You might have missed it. If you have time you might look at it.
My metal health is just fine, thank you. The only thing wrong here is this damn jacket they make me wear, with the sleeves tied to the back. I'm forced to type with my toes. Not easy.



*******I really must pull finger and do this.******
Now that's a phrase I have never heard before. Peculiar. Well, strange at least. Pull your finger out of what? Or pull finger as in cracking your knuckles? Or similar?

 

I will do that.. It appears that the clicking goes away after a few. I havent had a chance to work on the car this week, ya know with the job and all.

Jarrett

 

METAL health eh?? Now everything makes sense. The steel plate in your head must be shorting out your brain.


j/k

 

Hm, I threw that box away.

Oh well.

 

Actually, Its due to his age. His brain now looks like swiss cheese due to the advanced stages of Alzheimers.

 

 

Hey, I'm not as old as you! (just...) The complete expression is "pull my finger out of my ***", as in stop messing around and do it. I figured you guys would know that one. You Americans are so isolated... It only works with the stock ECU so you don't need it.

Jarrett, sorry to get back on topic, but has the problem been sorted out yet?

 

Actually, the thread hijack was kinda entertaining!

Well, I dont think that relay has anything to do with my wierd idling problem. I am starting to think that the lack of my neutral switch may be contributing to my problems.


When I am in neutral and the clutch is all the way out, it idles funny. Like one rotor is shut off. As soon as you put even the slightest pressure on the clutch (enough to trip the clutch switch), the idle drops to normal. If the clutch is released again, the idle remains normal.

Very wierd...

 

********METAL health eh??****** Like I said, I have to type with my toes. I'm allowed a typo now and again.

Tap into the clutch switch wire (1L) and see what you get when the pedal is depressed and when its relased.

 

I brought this old thread back to life.

J-RAT said the thing clicked when he tapped the pedal. At the time he wrote this thread I hever had heard this clicking of the Fuel Pump Relay and Resistor when you tap the gas pedal at say, idle.

Since then, I put a turbo in my 87n/a and added a Fuel Pump Relay and Resistor but installed it in the left rear of the car. I also notice that the relay comes and goes as you step on the pedal (just tapping it). Mostly after the engine has been driven for a while. The ground from the ECU seems to come and go probably after looking at the boost sensor output rise/fall and looking at the temps.

So JRAT isn't nuts.

 

God, I was wondering.. This thread was like from 03 or something..
