Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 HiyaJust fitted a JAM ECU and have read that you have to drive it carefully for a couple of days but has anyone else had an idle problem? I'm hoping it will just sort it self out but if I stop the idle drops ever so slightly and then goes back to normal?Anyone else had this ?Thanks Kate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 i just stuck ma ecu in left it to idle for 15mins then drove it like i stole it! its not the unbranded one skimmy was punting was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I brought a unbranded one off ebay, reset it left it to idle for 30mins and still didn't idle properly. Car also drove like shit and would just die under load. Even a few miles didnt help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 No I got it from Garryrit on here. He had it plugged into his apparently. It drives fine, i haven't driven it hard yet (I will later and see what happens). But just idle is a bit odd. X Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Runs fine. And idle seems a bit better but still dropping a bit when I stop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Is everything else standard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 No. I have uprated fuel pump, manifold, boost controller, intercooler, full exhaust system, uprated rad. I think that's it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Oh and hks actuator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Standard fuel pressure though ya? If so that rules that out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah I did have a FPR but took that out as had loads of probs with it. Then was told I didn't need one if I was getting this ECU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay85 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 How long did you leave it to idle?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 A good 15 mins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah standard fpr is best for these the more you drive it the better it will get. One of the lads here has a palsport ecu and it took a good while for what seemed like a miss to disappear.. Good weekends mixed driving! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Cool fingers crossed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay85 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Maybe wrong but I always thought you were meant to let it idle for 30 mins 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoostedGrimReaper Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thinking of buying one.. Anyone got one for sale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
