Fuel cut


dangerous brain

Recommended Posts

My aristo is very clearly hitting fuel cut as when I plant it the engine just cuts back as you feel the boost come on I get an engine management light that then goes away as soon as the power comes back online ie I change gear.

 

My question is will it do damage to the engine having hit fuel a few times or not? Is it imperitive I get a defencer sorted before allowing the car to boost?

when mine was like this I drove it and just kept it below the point of fuel cut, since fuel cut isn't very nice when it happens! Don't see how this can cause any harm, the FCD just raises the fuel cut limit up a bit.

 

Got the Thor FCD fitted asap though, not great having a car that does this!

I've got a defi link system. Unfortunately I have to put it in the dash really as I don't want A pillar pods or stuck on bits. Something I am finding with a manual car it takes a lot more concentration to drive so altering your view to a gauge halfway down the dash is going to be quite hard. That said the Defi system allows you to view your peak boost.
