Out in my RB5 tonight! had a date with an 18 year old and everythings going well when i got baited by a tvr so thought i'd have a little play after the remap. By no means racing before i get flamed not a chance was i taking any risks with this stunning girl onboard. On full boost then i thought i hit fuel cut but it wasnt. No throttle response, car completely dead and coasting. So restarted check engine light is on and running rough as a dog. Looks like my wallet just got a little bit lighter was hoping not to spend over 1500 this month but looks like thats out the window. Anyone experienced anything like this or any ideas..

Regards

 

Unlucky mate i hit the fuel cut out in mine for the 1st time ever the ever week and shat myself because i thought id fooked the engine. hope you get it sorted

 

I would be happy if it was just fuel cut but check engine light wouldnt have stayed on....

 

Forget the car, bone the girl

 

and post us some snaps

 

As the title says a bad night for the scoob, i never mentioned i'd had a bad night....Not looking forward to the bill though!

 

Just pray it's a bad connection and a connector has pulled loose...wobbly engine mounts under hard gear shifts. My MAF connector came loose three times that way (tag on the connector was a bit dodgy - another shout to the heavy handed to scoob mechanic).

If it's a classic shape, check the fault codes by fiddling with the two wires under the dash (forgot which one is which - search ECU codes/reset)

 

green and black check the fault code

 

start the car 5 times on and off in quick sucession. This should delete the light,

 

cheers, going to check the ecu tomorrow didnt have time tonight. Loose connector surely i carnt be that lucky..lol

 

Saying that if you had got in her silky panties you would not be on here now

 

Both connected clears the memory and resets then outputs any current codes AFTER the reset (if any...useless for intermittant faults)

One conneected reads logged codes in the memory without reset

The other reads current faults without a reset.

Which colour is which for the latter two is what I can never remember. And it is the latter two that should be used to read fault code, before clearing them.

 

The best things come to those who wait.....

 

 

Nice thought but Nah....lol

 

so did you impress her then, with a tow home in an RAC van

 

joining the two blacks for the checking the fault codes

The two greens and the blacks is for ecu reset blus pedal down pedal half way up bla bla bla

 

i think the MAF has died because the car still runs with it unplugged...

 

Why, was she charging you by the hour???

 

 

 

Who done the map mate? Might be worth having a word with them?

Does anyone else find it ironic that it was the Subaru that broke after the tussle with a TVR!!!!

AND you simply can't brag about the girl, unless you back it up with pictures!! Sorry mate, it's SN LAW!!!

Are all the hoses still connected?

 

That's a good suggestion: it's not too uncommon for increased boost levels post remap to blow a hose off or split something!

"He's a very nice man!"

Or was that the AA advert?!?!

sounds pretty much the same problem i had not to long ago,a quick check under the bonnet revealed a blown off hose, i've now replaced it with a silicone item

 

code 23! RIP to the MAF.

 

Keep it off boost till you get it changed then mate!

Not too bad then. £100 tops

 

cheers guys! Engine sounds abit rattley though hopefully the MAF will resolve this.
