Amazing effort there GNGBNG!

What a cool story mate, what a great read and sequence of photos too. I totally love your work and attention to detail.

 

Great stuff 

Thanks Kong.

Been on holidays for a week and haven't been near this.

Plugging it into a scanner this arvo to hopefully get some codes that may assist in solving this issue.

Thanks Duncanm, That gives me something to eliminate, or hopefully solve my problem.

AFM, Idle valve or a ground strap would be my first suspects. Jacking up the engine points to maybe a busted engine/body ground strap.

 

Does it clear up if you do an ECU reset (battery disconnected for a while) ?

I did disconnect the battery last night and reconnected this morning, no difference.

Where is the engine/body strap?

Edit: From the heads to the chassis rail?

Looks grouse! If you don't find a plug that has been unplugged, look for stretched/pulled or crushed wiring from lifting and lowering everything. Won't take much on say the AFM wiring to create an issue.

Cheers,
Ben

Cheers Ben,

Thanks for that, I've had a quick look but i cant see anything unplugged, i'll need to look abit deeper and have a closer look.

Found some time to do the STI Group N mounts.

I started on the drivers side engine mount....... What a total pain in the ass that was. 

It made the other mounts after that an absolute pleasure.

Anyway, all fitted and the results are great, no increase in NVH that i can tell, but the gearbox shifts feel so much better.

I somehow now have a car that wont idle properly. 

Will have to double check i didn't bump something or unplug anything.
