BJ_dpc Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yesterday i had my Greddy Profec E-01 fitted to my EU-spec. Everything looked fine. After a small testdrive i noticed that the greddy was initializing again so it had turnt of quickly while driving. Ok, maybe a small problem i thought. Later in the evening i took it out for a drive and noticed that every bump or hole in the road made my greddy turn on/off. A few minutes later this became worse till the point it just started blinking and rattling. Sometimes the engine light came on, the car was really shocking and the engines just stopped. After starting a few times i maneged to come home. This morning checked for lose wires, connections etc. Noting to be found but just to be sure took everything of again and made all the wires like the were. Problem still there. What i notice is that when i start the car the revs come up till 3000rpm and go down again then. When i put it in drive or reverse you get a big shock forward or backword. (this was allready so but much worse now) When i drive away in Drive it looks like the car i changing instantly to the highest gear and this makes the car bounch and turn off. When i put it i "L" there is almost nothing wrong. Can anybody help me out here or have some ideas? Is the A/T dodgy? Problems in ECU? Other ideas>? All the help or ideas will be much appreciated!!

BJ_dpc Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 He's proberly gonna come by tomorrow and take a look. But we put everything back to how it was and the problem is still there. Got something to do with eachother or just a case of bad luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 The flickering on and off can only be a problem with either his wiring, or the unit itself. The high idle and lumpy gearchange could be down to the fact that the battery may have been diconnected and the ECU has reset. It can sometimes take a while for the ECU to sort itself out after a reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ_dpc Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks for your thinking mate! We reset the ecu a few times by disconnecting the battery but the problem is that when i start the car and drive 2 sec your hear it changing gears to the highest one and then the car starts flickering because i don't think it can handle the high gear at 5km/h and 1000rpm. So what can be causing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what can be causing that? oh dear i think your man has got something sadly wrong somewhere, i have never had any banging gear changes when reseting the ecu so i would discount this, i would get him to reconect everything as was and get the car running right then get someone else to connect your controller as this guy sounds like he hasn't got a clue, he may have left a plug off or have the ground from the controller conected somewhere wrong, the ecu controls the way the box shifts so he may have spliced into something he shouldn't, to make a muff of the electical installation on a boost controller takes some doing, get someone else to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ_dpc Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks Paul! We put everything back the way it should, got a guy from Toyota do that. We took out the entire boostcontroller again and welded all the wires back with good issolation. Still the car is doing this strange and undrivebell. The tried to read for errors but everything is ok according to the computer. Sometimes by starting the car revs a little higher than normal, 2000-3000 rpm. In "L' nothing seems to be wrong, but in "D" the horror starts again. Ecu fried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
