Limp Mode

[Craig!]

Right to clear things up for people... the car has had this problem standard and modified ever since Kev bought it (same problem just it's no where near as bad now). The things that have been done over the last few weeks are are;

- Forge FMIC
- Forge TIP
- N249 Bypass
- BMC Filter
- New Plugs
- New MAF
- Forge 007P
- Bell Auto's Re-Map

Now the car is down from 6 faults to one (negative deviation), and that one had gone from occuring every 20 mins to every now and again. My only other options tomorrow were to check the following;

- Actuator setting + vac test
- Replace 2 OEM pipes near the actuator that haven't been done
- Try another N75 again (one was tried before map but not after)

However the earth straps on the ECU cage is one thing I have overlooked, and funny you mention this as we noticed today the cage was loose and had been tampered with in the past.

We could easily alter the deviation codes, or remove safe mode completly however as explained about this is just over coming the problem not fixing it.

And I still have a burn on my finger from that fekking TIP, serve's me right for trying to fit it to a hot car mind.

is it fixed yet??

 

[Kevgrady]

nope

Didn't get round to doing anything today...

 

[Kevgrady]

well changed the N75 today and still getting limp mode, can be causing it think the only thing we havent tried is the ECU earth strap which is the last thing we've been told to check

 

[goble]

hav u tried another dv?

 

[Craig!]

It had deviation with both OEM and Forge 007, plus it's had two different TIP's fitted throughout the same problem. Two final things is earth strap and actuator test...

Speaking of which anyone know how to properly test the actuator?
