Re: Crazy electronics - HELP NEEDED

Did it drive onto the pit alright? That is before the alarm was removed, did it behave? You have pictures of it in the street, and on the pit, so I assume the answer is yes. You now say after removing the alarm, and only after the removing the alarm the car is now misbehaving? There are no wires lef...

Re: Crazy electronics - HELP NEEDED

Earth would explain headlights and wipers, but you applying power to the starter motor, not earth.

Or you could have a magic Scorpion where electricity behaves like anti-matter and if you connect the wrong wires you could travel back in time :|

So you've followed all the wires from the ignition barrel through to termination and ensured not cuts or splices?

Re: Crazy electronics - HELP NEEDED

Have you removed the ignition cut off relay that the alarm would have had? What I taught my 15yo daughter when she removed the alarm from her car is to follow each wire from the ignition barrel back through the loom (unwrapping the loom) and see if has been cut and shut into another loom or relay.

Re: I need to identify these brakes, scorpion, sigma?

Looks like Scorpion to me. I have GK pads in my GH so I guess they do not change model to model?
Supercheapauto.com.au still list them as available, and I can buy them at Burson Auto Parts as well.

Re: 4G32 odd misfires

Twist the ignition leads. It is hard to tell, but from the pics it looks like they run neatly and parallel, this will cause misfiring as the spark jumps to a parallel lead to find the easiest path to earth.

Re: JV's Yellow GH Scorp

New bearing on, new seal installed, rear axle back in, brakes back on, all good so far :thumpsup:
Next job transmission service and replace selector shaft seal.
Then it can go back on its wheels and then to the exhaust place for a full new exhaust.

Re: JV's Yellow GH Scorp

Axle out now, get the new bearing pressed on Friday.

Also the oil appears to be seeping through the bearing seals, as well as the outer seal. Lots of build up of oil and muck in the middle of axle behind the bearing.
