wkdtime Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 James, did you disconnect the FCD and join the TPS signal wire up back to normal as i stated in post no 3? Yes you will hit Fuel cut alot sooner as you reverting back to stock. This should take you 10 mins tops to check. My money is still on the FCD.

jamesmark Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 ok so now i am getting a different one, I have tried to get it on a clip but the camera is an oldish one and only does a 15 sec clip http://media.putfile.com/PICT1659 at the end of this clip it does three flashes, there is one more then it goes back to the beggining of the clip and does this on loop, is this error code 14?

jamesmark Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 here is another clip, both clips were done with igt set to 2 http://media.putfile.com/PICT1658 again what you see it just reapeats it, nothing else happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Looks like code 41 to me, the throttle position sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Has the small pipe to the MAP sensor come off, or have you plumbed a boost gauge hose into it, and that's leaking. My money's on the MAP sensor hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 checked all the IC pipes no tears etc, but I did notice black liquid coming from the pipe that goes into the right wing and down to the SMIC, whats the cause of this? Asl checked the Tpiece it has a tiny hole in it about 1.5mm that could do with getting sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Ok I have disconnected the fcd and reconnected it to stock setting and let the car idle for 5+ mins, no worning lights. I let the car idle for less than that earlier on when i went back out to check it previous post, so will drive it tomorrow so will reserve judgement till then.

jamesmark Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Mark - stop pissing about and take the FCD outta the loop I have mate and so far so good, but will drive it tomorrow, so I take it that i need to adjust the settings on it to a higher setting? then all sorted?

Chris Wilson Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Asl checked the Tpiece it has a tiny hole in it about 1.5mm that could do with getting sorted. If it's a T piece in the MAP sensor line then that definietly needs sorting straight away. Don't T anything off the MAP sensor of fuel pressure reg lines.....

The T-piece iirc is connected to the FPR pressure ref hose in this pic, I am sure its connected to this but knowing in me I am wrong. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=13939&d=1112558977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 FCD's have nothing to do with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). The FCD cuts the MAP sensor wire. I nearly fell for that one. Seems some folks use "TPS" for the MAP sensor wire calling it Turbo Pressure Sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't T anything off the MAP sensor of fuel pressure reg lines..... a bit off topic but chris, where is the best location to t a pipe for a boostgauge then? i was told the tube coming out of the MAP sensor was the best?

What Chris meant was, if you take a T from there you risk causing a split in the vac pipe or the T itself overtime, so if there was a leakage from any one of the vac pipes leading to the Map sensor During boost you risk running lean and thus killing your Engine. The tell tale signs during idling would be very lumpy idling and black smoke billowing out form the tail pipe. TBH if you do it properly it'll be fine, It's worth replacing the old hoses with new silicone vac ones and securing them on firmly especially around the Map sensor.

Homer Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 What both Chris and Adnan have said are absolutely correct. Never Tee off an the fpr line! Slow dog (TWAT) did this to mine and I very nearly killed my engine after the boost pressure sensor popped off during a track day. TBH if you do it properly it'll be fine, It's worth replacing the old hoses with new silicone vac ones and securing them on firmly especially around the Map sensor. I can't agree with the comments regarding silicon lines, a good quality rubber/Teflon hose is far tougher and less prone to heat problems than silicon.

Darryl, compared to stock 'cooked' ones there a hell of alot better. But yeah if you can get the above, as you have said, they are better.
