the other symptom i've just noticed / remembered is sometimes when steadily going through the revs, at around 2500 rpm its like it is hesitating / stuttering, usually it will just pull through this and carry on as normal.
i will have a look at maf sensor later on see if theres anything wrong with it, if that was faulty would it throw up fault code 22 for the knock though? thats the only thing throwing me if it is the maf or fuel pump etc
It cut out and holds back sometimes at around 4500 tom so sounds similar. Pardon the daft question but what do you mean by hear it prime? It's only cut out once. Other than that it just feels juddery/ stuttering occasionally
The car has a k&n "type" cone filter. Blitz bov. Decat down pipe and magnex back box. Other than that it's standard
thanks martin
I just went with the error code and what i read so thought I'd start at the source, what ever it is, its temperamental because I've just been out in it and no problems. I've got a new knock sensor to fit anyways as they are only cheap.
What do you think i should look out for with the maf and fuel pump? would a cone filter affect anything that i have going on?
Not often you get a garage handing out mechanical know how without charging for it so it is very much appreciated thankyou
just something i saw on ebay earlier, was't looking to do it exactly just wondered if it was possbile.
it is a ecutek with licence on yes, just seemed a cheaper option but if its no good will prob cost more in long run ha
the car it was on had decat, upgrade fuel pump, upgraded air filter and also fuel injectors, alegedly running 276bhp with print out.
Like you say maps are done specific to suit each cars needs etc. just so expensive to do but guess its worth it.
As for the locks Ive read both stories about the locks so thats also unclear.
This maybe a really daft question so bear with me,
if i got hold of an ecu which has been mapped already and replaced mine with it would this be ok? I'm guessing each map is specific to each car so just wondered if anybody has done this before.
The one i have seen lists the mods which the car had before it was removed, if i matched the mods would it be a straight swap over or would there be problems?
I seem to remember nurburgring being one of my first races with you lot, most of it was spent more or less in thew boot of gambits car so was good close racing :)

This the one?
haha fair enough
I've possibly got things on sundays coming up that's all, no need to swap just for me :)
If it stays on sundays i will try to get to as many as possible
