mellonman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Is the air con on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Somethings definately not right, it briefly just started limiting itself at 3500rpm and then worked again as normal. Its not juddering as bad as the other night but still doesnt seem smooth either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 cam sensor? Could be anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 get a video of it up, then remote diagnosis will be much simpler. I dont really want to drive it now, it feels wierd to drive I hate it. faulty bar map sensor? Where is this found? Is the air con on? Aircon removed mate.

tooquicktostop Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Get it to a tuner mate as soon as you can, you need it sorting, no point taking it for mapping with an issue As soon as I have a problem I get it in, I have no mechanical knowledge so leave it for the pros Mine went into the garage this morning just to re-wire a fan relay, would not chance it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I havent got the time as ive just stripped it down to replace the oil and water lines and need to order the bits asap to get that sorted for tuesday. I'll just have to drive it to him and if its still playing up and he cant map it i'll have get the problem sorted then re book it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I agree Could Ryan not just diagnose it while im there tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Could Ryan not just diagnose it while im there tho? Possibly, but it could be a wasted mapping session as Ryan can dial into the ECU to diagnose it iirc? (when plugged into the laptop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Shoot me down for saying this but you are running the car easy for the first 15 mins or so just to get everything up to temp before booting it right? Otherwise it will be the syvecs kicking in to save all the time and money you put into building that car, which is the exact reason everyone raves about these ECU's! Edit: when I say easy I mean off boost completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a point I remember talking to Jamie about how the syvecs won't let you boot it until the oil temp and pressure is at the right point!

Yeah course I do, it warms up pretty quick anyway and I find after about 5 minutes of running the 3500rpm rev limit is lifted. Its just started to run a bit funny lately I dont know if its the oil temp getting too hot where the return lines burning itself against the exhaust manifold or it could be changing from v power to tesco ultimate I dont know. But until I get it to Ryan then i'll know exactly what it is and what can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep thats correct, but this is happening when running for an hour or two infact I think it gets worse as temps rise.

Guest ugp Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oops, I didn't look that far up . As for your issue, it could be a number of things, ICV sticking, tps calibration incorrect etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throttle Position Sensor I've had cars come to me before that the tps was setup, but then adjusted manually by someone. Then the ecu can see closed throttle as a negative value, ie -3% etc. You can just re sync the sensor in scal. First check the TPS readings though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Ryan can do before mapping I guess I dare plug my car into the computer who knows what will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) clean icv first mate with some carb cleaner, something you can do yourself and eliminate that then does it do this all the time or only when warm?

tooquicktostop Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I would give Ryan the heads up if you are planning to have him look at mechanicals/electrics before mapping, he gets so busy now he might not have the time put aside to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
