More Problems with my HFS-5 - Page 4

Are you being sarcastic? Of course I can't visit you Richard. You seem angry with me. I apologize if I've done something to make you mad. I'm just trying to fix my kit.

As for your statement. "Now we are shipping v10" Does that mean the board I got in the mail is v10? I was wondering if you could give me another way to contact you more effeciently?

I have been updating and modifying your system since you purchase it second hand from an member. The system was v8.

I have given you a v9 circuit board and a modified gauge. I have done all the work free.

If you receive a board in the email it will be a v9. The v10 is totally imcompatible with your current system.

I see I've worn out my welcome. I was afraid of this. I'm not going to ship anything else out to you Richard. I thank you for all that you've done. You've gone above and beyond what I've expected and I thank you for that. If I can't figure this thing out then I'm probably just going to sell it cheap to another member. I'm sorry if I feel like I've waisted your time.

I wonder if you can keep to one channel of communication. you have pm'ed me, posted in the different thread on this forum and emailling me.

I cannot quote with this volume of communication from one person.

As I have offered you earlier, send the parts mentioned back to me, I will check them for you free. This is one case that cannot be solved on email, pm.

Import Junky - Where do you live.

I am in Bergan County NJ and I would be willing to see if I can help you out as these seems to be getting pretty confusing with all the different versions of parts that you have.

I have a good deal of experiance messing around with the aquamist kits so I think I may be able to help you sort it out.

Import Junky · Oct 30, 2008, 09:31 AM

can you pm me your address to see how many miles I'd have to travel?

Richard L · Oct 30, 2008, 10:26 AM

I will send to a matching pair of v9 gauge and junction box. If it doesn't work this time. You have to bring your car to England.

Agree?

Import Junky · Oct 30, 2008, 10:33 AM

Haha....okay Richard. I'm gonna have Dudical26 help me this time. I'm gonna leave everything in the box until I get to his door. If he can't figure it out then I'll be glad to ship my car overseas.

IMPORT JUNKY-

Chill bro

you havent worn out your welcome just need more patience. Richard works around the clock internationally with thousands of kits not just yours.

When he said "visit me" he ment email him. He is from a different country, they have different meanings even though its english. Relax, he wants to help, your nailing him right now and hes at home with his wife an kids helping you out with your kit after hours. If you want instant response, email him at 5 in the morning our time and you will get it because thats when he is at work.

Pick one method of contact and stick to it. (email works best) So what if it takes 24 hours to get a response, he is half way around the world, helping us for free when he should be sleeping. If you want sell that kit and I will provide a brand new one at COST! It is the best on the market and the customer service is the best.

Try buying a Ipod second hand and getting it fixed with out a recept, or anything like that. 9 of 10 times if you are not the origonal buyer you get nothing. So be happy he is trying. I ment this to be a positive thing. Relax and we will help you! forums and emails are difficult and impersonal so things blow up easly, no need for that here.

Be happy you have the best kit on the market and it will be fixed...

LMK if you need anything!!!

Oh so you know. Because Richard is in England they dont have the same deals we have on internet. They pay per bite (or somthing like that) so getting online on this site isnt the most easy. That adds to the delay sometimes.

Import Junky · Oct 30, 2008, 10:49 AM

Evan, You're right and I apologize. Richard has been extremely patient with me and extremely generous with his time and services in which he has provided for free. I'm just mad at myself for not figuring this thing out 5 months ago when I bought it. I'm just fed up with it. I work as an Instrumentation Technician at a Refinery. We deal with wiring diagrams and schematics all the time. I felt like this install was going to be pretty easy. Now that I'm on my second gauge and 3rd DDS3 board I know the problem is me. I've even tried to "Google" the conditions that I'm noticing just to see if anyone else has had the same experience and of course I found nothing....

I will be on stand-by after Dudical. I do want to get your system up and running. The only problem at the moment is the HSV ticking on idle. Apart from that, everything works.

We are 90% there.

I know of you well import, your very knowledgeable and could install this kit with ease. Something else is missing. Richard will find it Im confident

Thanks for understanding

Thanks again for the support guys. Yes Richard, I'm still having that HSV ticking problem. Not initially though. A couple of days ago this wasn't happening and now it is. I just went outside to try everything again. I grounded the FIA2 trigger to see if it would stop and it did. The only thing I changed from yesterday is the grounding point. I was using a chassis ground behind the glove box. Now I'm tapped into the ground wire on the ECU as per the wiring diagram. I'm going to upload some pics to show you guys.

Um... sounds like something is wired wrong to cause the DDS3 to keep going out...
