Got the thing going..

Obviously at 11pm last night I didnt seat one of the ECU plugs all the way home.... I went back over all my work this morning, then realised the plug wasnt fully clipped in......

DER!!!!

Anyways the loom is out, and all is good!

Well even professionals make mistakes!

Managed to track down the mystery previous owner last night who did all the mods to this Ute.

Yep he got Chiptorque at the Gold Coast to fit an Xede. It was making 230rwkw, but he said he had it back there 10 times as it never ran right. It always had a miss....?

I had noticed that the plugs were still gapped to 1.1mm so maybe they never re-gapped them down?

Either way, he reckons he never cained it cause it never ran well, and he ended up trading it in due to it being to heavy on fuel.

He traded it on a BRAND SPANKING NEW PROTON JUMBUCK.........

He still owns it to this day and said its the slowest car he has ever driven....
