Can anyone help ..........

A friend is having problems with his anti-lag set-up:-

With the anti-lag board installed in the P8 ECU, the car is very hard to start and when started, will only run on 2 cylinders, the anti-lag is working because boost is being generated, when switched on, but still only runs on 2

Spec is:-

4x4 Sierra Cosworth
P8 ECU with Collins Anti-Lag Board
Modified throttle elbow with WRC Idle Valve
Greys / T34

Can anyone please help

 

I was told that there is no warm up period built an anti lag chip. Mine starts first time but wont idle very well until warm.

but theres definately more to it than that mate, two cylinders gone down with ALS board installed

 

Where abouts are you? I can sort it if you like.

Nice 1 Jano

Do you have any idea what it could be?

 

does it run on 4 when warm? or is it on 2 all the time.

 

from what he told me.....

all the time

but I will double check with him

He has been told by someone who has taken a look.......

weak spark!!!

 

When you switch anti lag OFF does it still run the same?

 

Without looking it would be silly to asume anything,
But when connected to a laptop and diagnostics equipment i can then see if it is within the map or another area i.e mechanical or electrical.

Yes mate, apparently, the only way to get it to run on 4 is to remove ALS board. How reliable are these ALS Boards?
Paul Hills originally mapped the car, the ALS set-up came off.

Jano.....

Will let him know
