last night I was on boost but not full boost after giving it some round some tight bends, and suddenly there was a loud noise under the bonnet [like a boost pipe popping off] and the engine warning light started flashing, around 8 times, then it stopped, I tried boosting after, only slightely, and its fine, checkd under bonnet, and nothing is different.
Any ideas???

dunno did it bring up a fault code

Curtis450

I don't know mate but its on Autronics so. I'm wandering as the clutch is slipping badly wether this had anything to do with it.

Fuel cut? Or fuel surge?

turn the key till the lights come on the dash then count the flashes of the check engine light, thats the fault codes on an autronics ecu.

Curtis450

It has always flashed once I think, thats normal , but say this time it flashes twice or 3 times, what does this mean?? Also since the remap at the clinic the oil temp is MUCH cooler, any ideas anyone?? I 'think' the timing was out before, as in the ignition timing, because it ate a few gaskets and now its fine, but surely that wouldn't make it run constantly say 10-15c hotter?

how many times did the engine light flas if its 5 times that can be down to bad fuel and fuel cut problem if the light stays on solid after this then its in limp mode also if you start and drive the car i think its 5 times if all is ok the light will go out

to read the code it goes 1 long flash is eqaul to ten and short flashes eqaul to 1 so if u got 3 long flashes followed by 3 short flashes that is fault code 33 wich is speed sensor i think

bit more concerned as why all of a sudden would clutch start slipping

when it made the niose did it hold back for a few seconds

Curtis450

Clutch is going due to being mapped to 450, started to go on the rollers. It was on boost jolted with a noise under bonnet, I think, then was fine, the flash is 8 times short, so 88.

88 Fuel Pump Circuit Malfunction HMMMMM

Curtis450

Actually as there is no code for 8, it can't be 8 short, probably is 1 long 7 short, so 17, or 27.

Curtis450

So its either 'fuel injector number 4' - 17 OR -'27 ATF Temperature Sensor Circuit' witch is what??

Curtis450

Just checked, its 2 long a gap then 6 short, so 26. Witch is intake air temp. Strange

if its definetly 26 just make sure it is that code,before u part with any cash or do a ecu reset and see if it flashes code up at a later date

Curtis450

why would I part with any cash, it hasn't come up since whilst driving. I will check the sensor tomorrow and wiring, it may of just had a bad connection whilst bending or something. I can't do an ecu reset on Autronic unless I'm going to remap the thing lol.

i meen make sure that is the problem if there is one before u go buyiong any parts.

Tidgy

best bet get it plug in and see what the faults codes are. autronics keeps a record of it within the ecu.

Curtis450

plugged in where ?? asin what place.
