tommywilsonuk Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hey all..Okay, Got a bit of a problem, Want to know what it is because its happened twice now.. and I dont want to be turning up at a garage and them stinging me for shit that isnt wrong.. hey, it happens!Okay so since ive bought the Glanza, At high revs sometimes (only sometimes) the engine management light comes on. Now as an absolute novice I can maybe guess saying the vacuum's being switched over probably has something to do with it? But also the exaust seems to be blowing near the manifold. maybe thats whats wrong? The light goes off after maybe 3 long minutes or so?ANYWAYS I just ignored the problem ...Last night is the first time though it has done this?I was driivng along, felt like banging it along a bypass. So i went through 1st, 2nd and then put it down in 3rd. I went to about 7000rpm and it juddered like it lost all power.. but within a second it was accelerating again no problem, The management light came on when it was fine again? I started to not rev as hard.. stopping at about 6000rpm it was fine.Okay so this morning i tried it again and this timeit juddered exactly as the engine management light went on? Its not doing it until i really hit almost redline? Does anyone have any idea what this is? I am taking it into a garage in a few weeks and would like to be a little bit knowing of what I want fixingCheers all..Sorry if its the wrong board? im new.. and stupid!

Ryno Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 sounds like fuel cut, if you do a search for it on here & TGTT.com you'll be able to find out all the info you need on possible causes and cures :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Well mate it ain't a VTEC so aint gonna like being revved to 7000RPM! It's gonna be fuel cut so stop driving it like a prick and learn how to drive it in the powerband without trying to put a rod through the block! :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryno Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 bit harsh, boost spikes don't purely come from driving like a prick! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 It's gonna be fuel cut so stop driving it like a prick and learn how to drive it in the powerband without trying to put a rod through the block! thats abit harsh like i take it you never got your nuts last night :angry: @tommytheres nothing wrong majorley wrong with your ep, definatly sounds like the symptoms of fual cut which is a failsafe within the ecu that cuts the fual when too much air is getting sooked inwhats the mods list on your car buddy?

paul w Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's harsh but fair! Cold weather and revving the tits off the car will give exactly the symptoms described!I was driivng along, felt like banging it along a bypass. So i went through 1st, 2nd and then put it down in 3rd. I went to about 7000rpm and it juddered like it lost all power.. but within a second it was accelerating again no problem, The management light came on when it was fine again? I started to not rev as hard.. stopping at about 6000rpm it was fine.Okay so this morning i tried it again and this timeit juddered exactly as the engine management light went on? Its not doing it until i really hit almost redline? Does anyone have any idea what this is?How is this driving at speed sensibly? It's revving like a bloody chav! My EP never hit 7000 revs even with a buggered clutch and stupid power because i knew how to drive it!I get my nuts emptied regularly thanks to my missus :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well mate it ain't a VTEC so aint gonna like being revved to 7000RPM! so stop driving it like a prick and learn how to drive it in the powerband without trying to put a rod through the block! :angry:if its not going to like it why did toyota give it a 7200rpm rev limit then? Im gonna belive them over you...also if you look at Glanza Al's RR results you would of seen that he made max power over 6000rpm..Max power @ engine - 127.4 bhp @ 6,906 rpmMax power @ wheels - 87.5 bhp @ 6,547 rpmRob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muddyell Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 actually mate that is almost 7000rpm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo_time Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 my ecu lets me rev to 8200 revs but i only done that once lol i think its defo fuel cut mate as i seem to be having the same problem with mine but i think mine is due to not having enough exhaust flow could be wrong mind jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hmm i know how 3 mins are like but 3 long mins fill me in bro how long are they like 5 normal mins? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
natural born nutter Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It may have a weak actuator , thats why its over boosting and hitting fuel cut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommywilsonuk Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Well mate it ain't a VTEC so aint gonna like being revved to 7000RPM! It's gonna be fuel cut so stop driving it like a prick and learn how to drive it in the powerband without trying to put a rod through the block! I am not allowed a little satisfaction? Hell I go to war for this country and its people??anyways..other than that, Thanks all for your help!! I wont be revving as hard.. Its still continued to do it wether its cold or been running for a few hours.. It's garage bound shortly but thanks again at least now I can mention a few faults and at least (thanks to my freind paul w) I know the cause..Although im still going to tear arse around the country.. it makes me happy, I love my glanza and I love the straight line accelaration and speed!! it never stops amazing me everytime I get into it...thanks all!!!

tommywilsonuk Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 whats the mods list on your car buddy?The exaust is blowing majorly around the manifold.. it sounds? could this be linked to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 yes, where specificaly is it blowing out, could you take a pic of ware? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 3rd gear judders on a glanza... thats fuel cut, clear as day. get yourself a boost gauge if you havnt got one. it will get to 13 psi then it will judder. the problem isnt rev dependant, its boost dependant.
