Strange engine behaviour

[The Spanish]

Rafael, this is ok, the MAF only has 5 connected pins inside of it, not more.

BTW, how much boost are you running? can you measure boost in 3rd gear WOT from 1000 RPM and give me boost at 4k, 6k and 7k, and the RPM you're getting full boost at? Maybe do it in 4th too if it's safe to do it in Madrid...

Cheers,

Mihnea

Hi Minhea,

I still have not fitted the Boost Gauge, will begin all the work very soon. Lately I did not find time for anything.
I am trying to solve my problems before fitting everything so I can be sure I did everything correct or faults appear because of the new instalation.

In Madrid is even safe to do a run in 6th gear

Cheers,
Rafael

Rafael, are you running the ECU from me already or not???

Could it be a problem with the fuel breather or carbon canister/valve?

No.

I had a problem with the Exhaust Manifold.

New one arriving next week. Then project will start.

A couple of questions Minhea.

What boost in PSI should I read in a 4th gear acceleration.

Please explain more.

Where are they, what they do?

Thanks

I’m not sure how the system works. I just know that when the canister valve came up as a fault on one of mine, there was a funny noise coming from the tank area. A bit like a buzzing noise. As if it was sucking bits of fuel and air. Have you tried pulling fault codes from the car? Just to check.

Thanks.

If this in not working correctly would it be any fault code?

[4WheelDrifter]

Blink code 4343 i believe.

Blink code 4343 i believe.

Will check code on monday.

The valve is 100 Euro here so I expect is ok. Very expensive

Thanks

[4WheelDrifter]

I just thought it might be worth checking.

Clean the MAF and engine was flying today.
Dit around 100Km really pushing it and no problems whatsoever.

I still can hear the little buzz from behind when accelearating in first gear gently. Lets see if when I change the fuel pump if this disapears.

Thanks for the help
