madmonkee 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 yet another problem.... after ive had my new exhaust and sports cat fitted, the car had a sudden drop in low end torque, but it was made up with a free'er top end so to speak. Now today i gave it some beans and instead of pissing up to 6000rpm in 3rd it got to 5000 and basically gave up, same for 4th?? Any ideas, its like a flat spot. Ok yesterday tho but today its fooked up big style is it mfa or lamba probe on exhaust?? dunno Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 mine does this since i had my scorpion installed, jus doesnt want to go past 5000rpm without a very long run up. i need to sort a few things then im going to get it looked at. Link to post Share on other sites
madmonkee 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 was fine yesterday but now it dont go..... beat by a 2.2 150bhp tdi megane cos of it Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 ha ha, mine hardly keeps up with saxos anymore, ive lost so much power from adding a filter and exhaust. needsa good map. cant understand why yours has jus died tho, maybe its jus running in more. as the coke builds up it will change the way the car runs, and it should get quieter, lol Link to post Share on other sites
madmonkee 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 it shouldnt get coked up tho, the shit shouldnt stick to the stainless steel. ill get a remap after fittin my vsr. maybe a fuel filter? or bloked injector?? Link to post Share on other sites
patrick green 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Im no expert but I would think a remap would help a lot so the ECU can get the fuellng spot on now that the cars breathing better though exhausts are supposed to reduce low end torque but they shountn't bugger up the high-end should they?

madmonkee 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 i found the problem, the engine was giving out the sounds as it would if you hit redline this sorta gave it away.... NO OIL hopefully its ok...... Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Seriously? Hope you haven't just scrapped the engine..... Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 ha ha, ive been to the point of no oil on the dipstick before. mines still running ok, remembering that the vr holds about 6L there will have been some left, just not enough to keep the engine sweet, it should be ok.

madmonkee 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 ai, soon as the light comes on(which it never) there is still about 4litres in there. Basically the sensors told my ecu there was low oil but not that low to put the light or buzzer on. It resricted the revs just in case. Link to post Share on other sites
