couv3z Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Okay, I guess you can't answer the questions. If the company did the work they still have your original parts and will be able to reinstall them. Did they give any reason why the car hardly runs? Or were they just asked to do the mechanical side and not actually map it? were meant to do the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Something makes me thing mkiii injectors.... Yes, of course. Doh! A quick change to the global adjustement on the EMB should make it run provided fuel presure has been set correct, but in my experience global adjustement is a poor fudge, it never runs anywhere near where the AFR's it should. There's a heck of a lot to check first - wiring, jumper settings, dial settings, then finally the map. Not sure I have the energy to go through all those tonight.

JustGav Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 were meant to do the lot Get it trailered back to them then, and get them to do it properly then... If you have paid good money for that, then that is bad on them for letting the car out of the workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 ? As Gav posted above. Go to Parameter settings, set your original injector size, set current, zero the fuel map, zero the ignition map and it *should* run... Provided everything else has been configured correctly. try this first and if it doesn't work then you need to start on the other bits I mentioned earlier. It would be easier to just rip the lot out and go back to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Well, I reckon they have ripped you off then. Given that they haven't mapped the emanage, I ASSUME it is all labour, using a rough guide of £50/hour which is expensive, that equates to 6 hours of work which it certainly isn't. If that had included even some basic configuration on the emanage then MAYBE it would be okay provided it ran right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 ...It would be easier to just rip the lot out and go back to stock. I agree. If that doesn't happen, I can see the OP paying more money to try to get things sorted and still ripping it out afterwards. My advice is to definitely cut your losses, take the bits out and sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Not at all, you tried, but it didn't work out, at least you have learned something from it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yeah, what Chris said And on the positive side if some mentions trying something similar you have real experience as to what the gotcha's are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
