car runs but wont rev!

[gazcuprablk]

after swappin the engine in my car it will start and idle fine but not rev at all any ideas why this could be happenin?

 

[MIkey kc]

throttle body need setting possibly

 

[gazcuprablk]

i swapped this from my spare engine earlier thought it could of been that as it came out of my old writen off cupra so may of been damaged inside but it was still the same

 

[MIkey kc]

Yeah but when you disconnect the throttle body you need to adapt it using vag-com so the Ecu knows where its postioned

 

[traumapat]

immobiliser ?

 

[MIkey kc]

immobiliser ?

If it was the immobliser it wound nt idle

 

[traumapat]

If it was the immobliser it wound nt idle

mine did. idled fine and died the moment pedal was pressed. it was just after replacing clocks and eventually keys. was told it was immobiliser due to ecu not being happy with the key/clocks not matching

tb alignment needs to be done using vag com. thats the first thing!!

 

[gazcuprablk]

ok thanks all for your help it was doin the same thing b4 i swapped the throttle body as it was from my old engine which i crashed so thought it might of been damaged from that so it looks like ill need to get vag-com on it but it did cut out a few times whils revin it but not all the time

 

[mr_D]

if u need some help mate give me a shout. i probably dont live far. and have full ross tech copy of vagcom availiable if you dont have it

 

[gazcuprablk]

ok cheers m8 think i seen you last night cruisin it up down cardiff gate,

 

[jonesya3]

Ecu is knackered would be my guess, have a search in my old threads i had it when i sold my revo ecu and the lad killed it on his car but vagcom will confirm

 

[mr_D]

yeah that was me down cardiff gate

 

[gazcuprablk]

i was drivin the car the same day i took the engine out there's nothin wrong with the ecu, the ecu has not left the car just a case of gettin the throttle body aligned then.

 

[mr_D]

well like i said give me a shout some time during any day of this week and i will try and help you out mate

Any fault codes?

 

[jivejester]

gaz, got your message last night. I can do it, but I wont be home from work until after 7pm this week.

 

[gazcuprablk]

ok cheers m8 ill leave it til the weekend as its 2 dark when i finish work anyway,

 

[gazcuprablk]

had 3 codes as soon as i started it up

17952- angle sensor 1 for throttle actuator signal to large
17581-shareware version to de-code all dtc's please register/active
17526-shareware version to de-code all dtc's please register active

so im guessin the 2 last ones are to do with allining the throttle body to the car and that the car is runnin 3" inlet so i think ill have 2 get the mapped ecu on and see if it works better with it on as the map with run with the mods i got cz now im tryin 2 get it to run on standard ecu!

 

[MIkey kc]

The car would still run fine with the ecu with no map on, but might running it to limp mode coz you may overboost! just set the throttle body up.

i think its engine-basic setting-31(not sure on 31 if some1 knows please say)- it will the say adp runs-adp ok, thats it, sorted!
