SiCaln Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 sounds like fuel cut, means u are running too much boost - but should happen if u have fcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraGle Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 running standard boost, i noticed it was more of a pop and jolt in 3rd, which means plugs possiblely???fcd. :/ like i say i have 1 installed.I dont really know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yes but is it actually wired in correctly?? Seems to me it's not Standard boost yet you have an FCD fitted...... Maybe you ain't got one at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraGle Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 the FCD, is fitted to the side of the ecu ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecksjay Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 remove the fcd.fuel cut is there for a reason, if you dont have any fuel control, you dont need or want a fcd, as you'll only experience problems.if you've been twatting it off fuel cut lots then it wont have done it any good. it may well be wired incorrectly so best to remove and then see how she feels, it'll then bounce off fuel cut at 0.93bar (give or take, depending on boost gauge accuracy) and then you'll know it was just that (the fcd may be malfunctioning or some of the wires may have become damaged, such as poor wire splicing etc).
