Default Overfuelling

Has anyone had a problem with escos overfuelling to a point where it wont start?

have change map, cts, fuel pressure regulator, leads and plugs.
had ecu checked ok. is it possible for a chip to just give up? or need remapping?

thanks

john

i had this problem also. does the fuel pump prime for a few seconds then cut out or does it run constantly. if it runs constantly try taking the chip out and try that. i took the chip out of mine and it started once i cleaned the plugs and no problems since.

hope this helps scott

Hi scott, thanks for reply, fuel pump kicks in and then cuts out like it used to.
can i just take a chip out? will it still run?

You need a voltmeter, and measure the voltage with egnition on, measure the voltage in full throttle and no throttle.
cant recall the ecact data tho sorry.
BUT it has a LOT to do with the fueling
