  1. Diablo Intake AirTemp

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    The coolant was flushed about a year ago... There are no leaks, and the level has not dropped... The thermostat is probably at least 5 old - I have owned the car since 2012 and never changed it ... Not sure when it was done before, but the car has 29k miles on it now

     

     

  2. Diablo Intake AirTemp

    Hi Guys

     

    I did a drive this morning while having my computer hooked into the OBDII port to look at some live data. I saw the following, and was hoping if someone knew how to improve them:

     

    1) MAF - shows 0 lb/min continuous, no movement while at idle or while driving - is that normal? or maybe sensor issue? NO CEL

    2) Intake air temp: My intake temp started at 95 (ambient temp), and slowly increased upto 120 (that's the highest my OBDII software gauge shows) - this has me worried. I have the stock 6.0 air intake system - is there any way to improve it to get colder air?

    3) Coolant temp: goes upto 200-205 in traffic/stop lights, and then back down to 195-196 while driving - is the car running too hot?

     

    I have SV headers on my 6.0, along with 100CEL high flow cats and a Fabspeed X pipe - the sound is amazing, but the naked headers (no shielding around them) make a lot of heat. So much infact that the body is too hot to even touch (on the outside, all along the sides, rear panels, and engine top)...

     

    Suggestions are welcome :)

     

    Thanks

  4. Change OEM Nav Region

    Hello Everyone

     

    I am trying to figure out if it is possible to update/change the OEM Nav system on my friends A.. He imported a US spec car with the OEM nav (US maps). He wants to be able to use it in Dubai. Is it at all possible? The dealer has said they can not / will not do it.

     

    Any help appreciated. Thanks!

  6. Exhuast Thermocouple Location...

    Hey Guys

     

    I recently had 200CEL high flow cats installed on my Diablo 6.0... These were custom fitted... The exhaust guys installed the pre O2 before, and post O2 after the cat...

     

    However, they don't know where to put the thermocouple temperature sensor - We threw away the old cats, and cannot use those as a point of reference... so can someone please shed some light on this...

     

    Do they go

    1) before the cat / near the primary O2?

    2) Right before cat (as in almost touching the begining part of the mesh)

    3) Middle of the cat

    4) After the cat / near the secondary O2?

     

    Any/all advise apprecaited... I would have just tied up the sensors and put them to the side (similar to the straight pipes setup), but since I have put in new cats, I figured I should keep the sensor in as the right position as possible to make sure the new cats aren't overheating, etc...

     

    Thanks

  9. Diablo Running hot... Advise please

    Thanks for the tips guys... will look into the fan next time I take her out for a drive (currently out of country on a trip)..

     

    Does the make make an audible noise that can be heard while driving? Or is it something I will need to check when stopped? Also - which fan - drivers side, or pax side?

    Thanks!!

    The check engine light flashing is not good. it is telling you that is is running or missing bad enough to do damage to your Catalytic Converter. Long trim fuel numbers is on the high side but I never look for a problem unless they are +10 or -10 (on normal cars) The short trim fuel is used to fine tune the fuel to keep the O2 sensor so they are able to go above and below 450 mill volts. Your car has a problem so the numbers for fuel trim is bound to be off. It sounds like you have a miss. Does the car buck or jerk at all? We really need the codes to see what cylinder is acting up.

     

    Thanks for the reply. In this instance, the light did not come at all (not once). The pic is at the end of a 30 min drive, during which there was no Engine Light, and the scanner said there are no pending codes/fault codes at all..

     

    Also - is the coolant temp a point of concern? Or the intake temp (since the outside temp is only 40, shouldn't the intake be the same, or is it 'normal' for the intake temp to be higher (60 in this case) than the outside air temp)?

     

    Thanks!!

    Hello everyone

     

    I've been driving the Diablo a bit, and have had the following issues come up:

     

    1) L Engine Light - comes on at stops/low speeds, blinks while accelerating, and goes away at higher speeds... comes back/blinks at lower speeds, etc

     

    I tried to get the codes with a scanner, but the light DID NOT come on the two times I drove with a scanner (and charged laptop)... the other 3-4 times, it has done the above, but I have been unable to pull codes as the laptop has had a dead battery!!

     

    2) Coolant temp running hot - car shows 95+, OBDII scanner shows 205F (98C-102C) while driving!!

     

    Intake air temp sensor shows - 55C-60C

     

    Actual outside temp during this drive - 39C

     

    Other info noticed in drive (during issue #2)

     

    Engine timing advanced 15-20 under normal accelerating/cruising

     

    Can anyone point out if I need to be concerned about the car running hot? Should the intake temp be that high (60) when the outside temp is only 39? The coolant temp is also 100 (205F) - is that a cause of concern?

    Can anyone explain what the Fuel Trim figures (short term/long term for Bank 1/2) are?

  15. Jump start Diablo...

    Wish I could do that... the problem is the container is at the port, and the car needs to be removed, started, driven to inspection, inspected, started again, sent by recovery ...

     

    The port will not allow me to remove tire/replace battery on site - are the ECU's really that sensitive?

    Hey Guys

     

    Which would be a better way to jump start a Diablo?

     

    1) Jump start of battery in donor car (with Donor car on/off?)

    2) Jump start of new battery (take an extra battery with me, and attach with jump start cables to Diablo)

     

    The Diablo CANNOT be 1)trickle charged 2)battery replaced in its current situation... It is parked in a shipping container, and needs to be unloaded...

    Sure... The LM is being replaced by the yellow Diablo 6.0 Roy had (check out his thread in his vendor forum)... and the R8 will be moving out this weekend to make room for my new G-wagon AMG... pics coming soon...

    Thanks guys!

     

    In Houston - I just have a Yamaha R6... Im only there for about 4-5 days every 3-4 months.

     

    Cleaning the cars in Dubai is an issue. I have had a 'glass treatment' done to them - apparently the latest detailing product to hit the market here. My detailer recommended it - it took him 3 days to put it on. Basically, its like a glass finish on top of the wax. Now, I just need to wash the car with water with a hose, and then just drive (fast!) and the car dries without leaving a single streak mark / water spot! The other option is to use an airblower and just dry the water off, but Id rather take a spin for a couple minutes at 200 :)

     

    (And yes, the hose is usually operated by someone else while I direct) :)))))
