Liam_D Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Just a quick one guys, on the way to the Leicester meet today i had just came onto boost in 5th and the engine management light came on? No jerks or noises or anything. Stayed on all the way until i pulled over and turned the engine off and then back on again and it went out? Came on boost again in 5th on the way home and it didnt do it? Anyone know what it could be as i dont want to be driving it if theres something not quite right! Was it some sort of fuel cut or something? Bear in mind that the car is completey standard engine wise bar a BOV and had the boost restriction removed. ThanksLiam Quote
iamlegend Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 had the boost restriction removed. ThanksLiamthis,it will be over boosting now, do a diagnostic test and you will more than likley get code 34 (turbo pressure signal) due to the ct9's internal wastegate being to small... Quote
ashbuxton Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 would of been fuel cut... cold day so boosts better casuing fuel cut. Have you got aftermarket filter or anything? de restriction does slightly increase boost aswell maybe put standard airbox back on for now? Quote
Liam_D Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Ash, it has standard airbox mate, like i said its standard bar a BOV and de-restricted boost!! Thought it could be fuel cut to be honest but didnt think it would be possible on a standard car? Anything to worry about or is this normal procedure with Glanzas? Quote
ashbuxton Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 i wouldnt worry bout it too much. Fuel cut is the most annoying thing in the world. treat yourself to an ecu, mani and actuator :-0 Quote
Liam_D Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 I would if i had a money tree mate Wont hit fuel cut much anyway i wouldnt have thought as im hardly ever doing long motorway journeys so it should be cool. Should have a HKS Actuator to go on soon though. Quote
ashbuxton Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 If it get bad jus wind back a turn on actuator that will do the trick! Quote
iamlegend Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 this,it will be over boosting now, do a diagnostic test and you will more than likley get code 34 (turbo pressure signal) due to the ct9's internal wastegate being to small... Quote
Sparky Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Fucking hell chill out legend ;)Its probably a sudden boost spike just causing it to throw up the EML Quote
Liam_D Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Hasnt done this since! So must have just been because it was soo cold. Causing it to boost spike a little. Quote
