possible electrical problem

[JIMMYBACK]

right the car has a map on it but it wont rev beyond 2k:shock: :doh: any ideas.the idle is a bit funny but ive re done most of the earths and that has helped... need it sorted asap so i can get my baby back on the road where she belongs

hardly ignition timing Jimmy??

Sounds more likely that the map has casued a problem... Can you go back to another one?

 

[JIMMYBACK]

i dont think it it is the map........ possible det sensor?

 

[CruiseGTi-R]

det sensor wouldn't make it stop at 2k?

you can overide a det sensor fault by running the det sensor wire from ecu through a voltmeter (so its grounded). at least you could rule it out then.

right ok ill have to try that then.........if i hold dow the acclerator the revs just jump up n down to 2 k no more it ****ing odd and the middle gauges bounce around now..since i changed the clutch

 

[stumo]

since i changed the clutch

why is it that the most important bit of information is NEVER posted in the original post.:der: :doh: :der:

 

[JIMMYBACK]

didnt think it was relivent but since thinking about it there are probbo related

 

[Fast Guy]

and the middle gauges bounce around now..

Do you mean all 3 or just the oil pressure gauge?

What ecu are you running?

 

[JIMMYBACK]

the oil pressure is way over 8:shock: :doh: but that bullshit other wise oil would **** out of every seal on the engine the oil temp is waving at me...im running a standard ecu with a emanage attached.still no joy

Jimmy, how about posting what you wrote in English???

ie, "right the car has a map on it", do you mean it has a map on the roof, just like the confederate flag on the General Lee? No? ok, if you mean it has an aftermarket ECU fitted, which one?

 

[JIMMYBACK]

right first off screw you stumo for your helpful input..thank you for everyone else who tried to help......i found out today what the problem was a loose earth off the gearbox and the car not revving over 2k turned out to be the cat temp sensor:shock: so i just unpluged it and hey presto it all good now
