Pig Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Picked the car up yesterday from a checkover (all will be revealed very soon) Now, when i boost up, at about 5K it goes completly lean (right round on the AFR gauge) Still only peak boosting @ 1.3 bar If it helps at all, when we started the car, it idled at abour 4K for some reason. It didnt drop so after 30 secs we turned the car off. It was fine as soon as we started it again. Spec - T61 - stage 3 fuel system - AEM Any ideas?

tDR Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Who mapped it? I would suggest a vacuum leak around the FPR so check all the hoses around there. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Do NOT drive that car on boost! I'm suprised its survived at 5000rpm/1.3bar at more than 12afr let alone off the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 if people have had problems with this guy surely you shouldnt of got it mapped by him? id say take it back and kindly ask him to sort the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Do NOT drive that car on boost! I'm suprised its survived at 5000rpm/1.3bar at more than 12afr let alone off the scale. I drove at WOT 2 or 3 times before realising what the prob was. #noticed it wasnt running right, boosted up to check boost pressure (it was fine) then check fuel. I dread to think what the pistons look like now There's your problem then!!! It was running fine though, how can it just change over night?

b_have Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 There's your problem then!!! Doubt its a mapping problem. Something has failed. Most likely a vac signal issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 if people have had problems with this guy surely you shouldnt of got it mapped by him? id say take it back and kindly ask him to sort the problem Its not that easy, firstly the car needs SHED loads of work to be put right and secondly no one is open on a sunday and i work all week. Therefore no time to get anything sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I know Charlie, was just being obtuse! Like I've mentioned - check all of your vac hoses especially around the FPR. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
