My ms had some work done to my patrol for the roadworthy through them before she gave the patrol to me. I saw the invoice in the glove box and was surprised at how reasonable the prices they charged were

Yeah they are good. I'm just concerned with the amount needing to be done that's all...

Hey bud. I haven't, tried that yet? Sometimes when I clean the MAF I disconnect it for an hour or so, just because I've read a few times to do so. But that obviously wasn't long enough for the ECU to reset? Will definitely give it a shot!

Hey Eric, didn't realize you still had dramas mate. As an uneducated guess it sounds like a bad electrical connection but that could be anything from a dry solder join in the ecu or other electrical component to a broken wire, where the "break" makes connection and the car drives good then when you go over a bump it breaks the connection and the car drives horribly. I wouldn't mind having a look at it one day just to play around with it....

Do you know anyone with the same year and engine as your trol you could borrow an ecu from ??? Only thing i don't know if the ecu needs to be synced with the bcm tho

Went in to repair the slight leak coming from the head off the power steering mount. Turns out prev owner had snapped a bolt clean off, at first it just looked like it had gunk in it so I poked at it with my sharp hook set. Fuckin thing started to spin! Managed to rotate it enough then hit it with my vice grips. Put some sealant on and torqued to spec then went to replace the pulley for the belt. Last bolt going on, seems like its taking awhile theeeeen I feel it give and the cunt just starts spinning ughhh fix one, make another haha gonna run a tap thru today and see if I can just clean up the thread

Thanks George!
I don't know anybody with the same year and manual that I can compare the pair with. I spent a while, not long ago looking over connections that are at reach. I didn't pull much apart but yeah, as far as everything i got my hands onto it seemed good. But you have the right idea, as it does seem like something electrical. In saying that though few weeks back in Tallarook, if it was to show that sort of symptom it would have been then as the car copped a good shake over. But that day it too, it had all the power in the world. Might to more analyzing over the weekend, and play with the boost control for the 389284th time, just in case it is something like that.
