i have a 95 wagon with a filter and exhaust and wondered if the ecu could be tweeked any way to get a bit more power and slightlly better fuel consumption,as far as i no it is standard ecu,also ive noticed sometimes my car ticks over 800 rpm and sometimes as low as 200 rpm any one no what cuases this and how to rectify it,the revs do not pulsate up and down on tick over its just that sometimes u stop its at 800 rpm and another time its at 200 rpm.

 

Regarding the revs, do you have a VTA (a pssshhh) dump valve fitted?

ECU - you'll have to get an ESL board fitted into your existing ECU then get that mapped, have a look at options on www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk

 

Never had any issues with tick-over but have read many posts about it with many different causes/solutions ie plugs/coil-packs/mafs ect, best option is to search this site and read

As for remap, if your budget doesn't stretch to £500+ then this is another option for you, I've had one fitted for over a year with zero problems

it has standard dump valve fitted

 

i have a 95 sti and wanted to get a remap after looking into the esl live board and working out the cost , i decided to spend a little more and picked up a Apexi power fc and commander for £400 awesome bit of kit.

re: idle maybe give your maf a clean, could be idle control valve!!

one of the best thing about the apexi is the ability to monitor everything like, boost, idle, injector duty, knock ,air flow, etc.

if you can stretch that bit further i would recommend it!

 

were is maf located and what do u clean it with and r there any gaskets needed after the maf has been removed

 

No gasketts needaed locate you air filter just after the air filter is the maf, you need to unplugg
The sensor connector then undo both jubile clips. Then remove the maf, what I did is rinsed out some baby wipes then soaked them
In nail varnish remover and wiped the inside! The actual sensor you need to be very careful with I used a couple of cotton
Buds and soaked them in nail varnish and slowly cleand the actual sensor be very carefull not to brake the little wire in the middle!
Its not a hard job to do should take 20 mins or so, btw sorry about spelling and grammar using my phone! (Blackberry bold)

 

Brake/clutch cleaner is the best option for cleaning

 

as i have a k and n cone filter is the maf were the fil;ter attaches too and has a multi8 plug gion to it any pics would be nice

 

Yes has a plug with a clip and will be directly behind your k and N

 

if i spray brake cleaner in it do i need to wipe it out or just let it drain out and dry natraully sorry for silly question

 

Just use the power from the can and let it evaporate/dry off

 

cheers mate helpful as ever
