My car had it on a mot co meter and its running 10 % co and its killing plugs the spec is t35 greys and 500 intercooler and qiukshift intake but i dont know anything about the chip all help appreciated cheers.

 

3 door, 2wd(sapph) or 4wd sapph, or escos ?
Either way I would start by changing the CTS if it over say 3 years old, as this is the main influenece of co, but also need to check others if that doesn't cure it such as map sensor, lambda(if fitted), fuel pressure etc.
It is a must that you open the ecu and see what the chip is, and more to the point that it is correct for the bits you have fitted, they all need to work together.

Hi i should of put 2wd sapphire i was thinking the cts the chip came with a ecu i bought off ebay i have just bought and fitted a fse power boost valve a 4x4 inlet with 10mm spacer and 4x4 manifold cheers.

 

Cant help with the chip but my advise would be to get the fse power boost valve and bin it.There is nothing wrong with the standard regs they are good.
I think james did a bit of a thread concerning these and the failure rate which in turn equals meltdown .

 

fse valves = shit, bin immediatley

 

As said BIN THE FSE, or sell it to some chav, with a 500bhp claim, sure to sell ha ha!!
Any alteration you make to either fuel or air will have a effect on the running, some more so than others, the chip will have been written for the rising rate of the std pressure eg no doubt, so with the fse you are going to have sjit loads more on boost fuelling even if the off boost/idle was correct.
You really do NEED to see what chip it is, before you go any further, if for example it is for a std engine then as you are on greys the fuel will be pouring in, as the grey injectors flow much much more than the std yellows, the point is you don't know so need to find out, before you buy anything else.
The ecu cover comes off by undoing 4 simple screws in each corner so not hard.

Hi ive had the ecu apart but it doesnt have a make on the chip just says l6 and this was what the chap i got it off said the spec was ive just bought the fse valve from collins ill have to sell it and put another one on but ill still change the cts first cheers.

 

fisrtly i'd get the chip looked at. not many people can map grey's properly.

 

A few people has said try tony but last time i tried phoning i got no answer ?.

 

try his mobile mumber below. he will be in tomorrow if you want to pop down.

 

Thanks for that ill have to wait until car is painted im halfway through at the minute is the a way of testing them without the car just taking the ecu or will it need to be on the car.

 

take the ecu to tony. tell him your exact engine spec. he should be able to do you a proper chip for it.

 

Hi ive just removed the fse valve and fitted an adjustable one any idea what fuel pressure in bar should be on my gauge and ive just ordered a cts just in case its no good cheers.

 

As said bin the FSE, then I would start by making sure the CO is set correctly for the chip you have.

Std fuel pressure is 3.5 BAR, this is the norm for most chips but like CO some require a higher fuel pressure.

Ok ive binned the fse valve and ordered a cts so will them get it back on a co tester cheers.
