EECIV management on the FRST and zetecs

have a sensor goes to gear box that plugs in the loom etc....


can anyone think of a reason why it would be left unplugged other than forgot - or what effects it would have??

 

melv- when i did my first engine swap project from FT said you need it to keep the engine rev's up about 1k whenever you are moving, and that there would be no adverse effects from disconnecting it.
Howvever, i went to ford, and bought a new one at 50 quid, and fitted it!

 

keep the mileage down?

 

ah right cheers rolls!

and its not an electronic speedo hofajoab so it wont affect the mileage shown on the odometer

 

It does little more than to lean the fuel off @ 58 mph to meet emmissions standards.
If you dont plug it in it MAY generate a fault code in the ecu but will NOT
put it into limp home mode.

Also, If you have the fuel computer fitted, it is used to drive that aswell so if it is
not connected that device will not work.

 

superb!! cheers simon!!!

will I have a flat spot at 58 then if its trying to lean off at that???

bearing in mind its not standard car now?

 

ah no problems!

 

On the standard car, it will only lean off if on very light load so makes NO
difference to power driving.

If it has a chip on the ecu then it is probally ignored completely.
