Default MFi full power enrichment

Mines not working according to my last rolling road visit. What to look at first Silver/Black ecu, throttle switch or what ?

Cheers PaulT

check tps on throttle body is reading wot and the person on rr needs to have foot firmly planted as if not then tps can not read wot you'll only get it's part throttle, next is to check little black/grey box on side of fuel metering head (emapp or something like that) or could just be it's never been set up right in first place

Was it a reputable RS tuner that set it up before the rolling road session? if so then how long ago?

Might not be fuelling sufficiently so could perhaps do with a setup. This will identify if the little box on the metering unit is faulty. They are about Ł200 from Burton Power.

check for 12V at tps when ignition is on. if you have 12v then there is power to the black fuel ECU for cold start and on boost enrichment, for starters.

[QUOTE=kermitt;4995597]Was it a reputable RS tuner that set it up before the rolling road session? if so then how long ago?

It was set up 5 years ago at Nobles in Chesterfield made 196bhp, was happy with the service so went back a few weeks ago having fitted a new cam made 204bhp but full throttle enrichment was mentioned hence the question.

Will check whats already been said and take it from there, the operator also mentioned fuel pump may be tired. We will see.

Thanks PaulT

Thumbs down

5 years ago, wow!

Depending upon how often you use it I would say minimum every year.

That at least is a starting point to get it properly setup to suit the new cam to make sure its fuelling properly on throttle/boost etc.

If its got a vernier pulley for the cam shaft then you are probably as well getting that sorted too whilst on the rollers.

It had a full set up 3 weeks ago everything set fine these issues were remarked on that needed looking at.
