  1. yea they are different,

    this sounds ignition related, can you get normal boost through part throttle all the way to the revrange?

    or is it only when you mash it into the floor it starts doing its cutting thing at 3k?

    yh if ya feed the throttle. like half boot shes goes ok and when past 4 k ya plant hers shes grand! pulls real hard.. but if ya plant her she just dies inbetween 3-4k..

    just wierd that with jays auto ecu she didn't have the flat spot but still had the 41 fault code..

  2. rore - oh yes, we all know trevor over here. to say he's a legend would be an understatement.

    glad you went to see Jay Armand dude, best decision u could have made tbh. as im sure u know, jay has been responsible for basically my entire build, and certainly the entire FTE side of it including the recent addition of my ECU, so he will keep u more than right!!!!

    let us know how u get on with the gasket repairs!

    Phil.

    new gaskets on, new grommit for pcv yoke. and blocked sum vacuum pipes that arnt needed.. same thing tho lol dont think she is running as rich now..

    also anyone know if auto starlets have a diff tps.. cause i cant get rid of the fault code.. even jays other auto ecu had the problem. tried another tps and same code lol.. dno if even matters tbh..

    need to get back up to see jay. this yoke is annoyin me now!

  3. yh the acuator is down about 4 turns..

    update again lol

    was up with jay most of today! ecu seems to befine as we put it in his auto gt and his auto sard ecu in mine...

    found out shes running insanely rich! and have sum serious air leaks :/ so gonna get few gaskets and back up to see jay..

    top lad anyone from ni should vist him lol

  4. hmmm sounds vaguely similar to a prob we had with my brothers glanza, took me ages to find..but check the little vac hose from the map to the inlet, see if thats all good and there isnt any splits in it, and wind your actuator abit more to lower the boost...

    yh the acuator is down about 4 turns..

  5. If you need any help just shout buddy. I've a bit of experience with these ECU's plus I have the wideband here to make sure she's safe. Had some messing about with my automatic Sard ECU once I showed it proper boost too.

    Jay

    wer ya from jay? wouldn't mind a second opinion before i send this thing back lol

  6. Is there not anyone near you that has a glanza maybe try the JAM ecu in there car then you can rule that out...Also as said anything passed 12psi of boost will throw the light up when you have the stock ecu installed

    yh full boost around 3k when ya put then boot down.. its almost like she hits fuel cut but no lights.. the jam ecu has a fcd inside does it not???? the previous owner never got it installed :/ be he is offerning me full refund if i want?

  7. a bar roughly.. i'll check all tomorrow as its to dark now lol.. will see how it goes :)

    UPDATE !

    soldered all the wires back to normal.. not more stupid joiners..

    done wat yas said an seems the same.. so said fuck it and put old ecu in but!

    wen i put the boot done she went but then hessitated and threw the engine light on! is this fuel cut? since no fcd in now?

    maybe i have to boost out to far? cant even tell casue she wont let me hit full boost?

    gonna do the wee test to see what fault she has registered..

    wat yas think now?> would the jam ecu be faulty??

  8. Could be a dodgy connection.

    What boost are you trying to run?

    Have you tried running the standard ecu to see if you still get an issue?

    a bar roughly.. i'll check all tomorrow as its to dark now lol.. will see how it goes :)

  9. Before removing fuses etc, when you removed the FCD did you connect the wire back up for the map sensor signal?

    These ECU's will work from the go ahead, i never once had an issue with mine, even when i first fitted it.

    And yes A/T ecu will work just fine in a M/T equipped car. I know this from Trevor (if any of you lot know Trevor from N/I??) Phil you will know of him i presume?

    yea i connected it.. will check again tho. but would she even go if it wasnt'?

  10. there u have it, ECU should work. Rob's been on the scene for ever and a day, knows his technical shit, so sounds promising!

    get the fuse out, or battery, and let it reset, then take her on some runs. and remember that it will take a few days for it to settle.

    Jay has a Mine's and a SARD ECU, took the SARD (i think) like a month to learn my K1, nearly killed him more than once, so be aware that it can take a while for the ECU to populate its tables and settle itself. it doesnt always work like a rocket straight from the box man.

    Phil.

    cheers guys! that efi is it not a relay? lol

    will keep yas posted!

  11. Armand,

    when u fitted the ECU, did u remove the EFI fuse for 10/15 mins?

    if not, do this, and try her again.

    remove the small EFI fuse in the engine bay fuse box, let her sit (switched off of course) for 10 15, plug the fuse back in, switch her on and let her idle to warm up, then start driving her, dont nail the shit out of her right away but give her some beans for a few pulls, then start giving her full throttle in 3rd and 4th.

    there is no science in my explanation, i am not a mechanic, but thats how Jay and I set up my Blitz ECU at the weekend there.

    Phil.

    didnt remove the fuse? but should it matter wen its a different ecu in a different car?

  12. i just went absoloutely mental in mine soon as i plugged it in !

    so its nothing to do with the ecu is for a automatic?

    i've done 20 miles ther and tried few times for full boost :/ she went once or twice..

    i'll do more miles then see wat happens lol

    just alittle excited tbh :)

  13. hi.. recently bought a jam ecu.. its a AT though ( dno if that matters )..

    what i done before this problem,

    service oil and filter.. ( shouldn't be that lol )

    adjusted my actuator to increase boost just slightly..

    and removed hks fcd and fitted jam ecu!

    now car gives full boost around 3k but doesn't go! and sorta miss fires :/

    anyone any idea??
