Correct procedure as per the manual says that you simply press the button or connect the black wire to ground for 3 seconds.

I have never done this but my XD-16 came up CAL and now is haywire.

Simply pushing the small button on the XD-16 doesnt really do anything.

Sounds silly but am I doing anything wrong?

Jim Galbally

i think i had a similar prolem before turned out my LC-1 was fucked. they have a forum, post on there for advise

rapidcossie

I have had it for about year now Jim with no probs.

Its too late to go out and try it with the car started now as I will wake half the street.

Don't bother Euan waste of time best way to cal it remove lambda plug turn ignition on ten secs off again connect plug it dose a complete set up

MAKE sure your engine has no been run for 8 hours (unless you remove sensor from exhaust)

After a lot of fooking about found out mine was knacked sent it back to GGR who was a great help and they sent me a new one

Paul

rapidcossie

so unplug the lamba at the LC-1?

costina

iTrader: (1)

yes mate it will do a complete set up

Paul

foreigneRS

you have to have the lambda sensor in free air though don't you? i.e. not in the exhaust where there could still be hydrocarbons present and not the normal level of oxygen

costina

iTrader: (1)

Thats ture Nick hence i said as the manual states unrun for 8 hours or remove from exhaust

Paul

foreigneRS

wonderful innovate products

tabetha

So many innovate going wrong, glad I bought tech edge now.
Customer bought two LC1 for his TVR as std system uses two, despite exhaust needing only one as system is 4-1(each side) then 2-1, then 1 -2!!, so could use just one, new ecu going in but pain in the arse to work on.
ECU is buried next to battery in front pasenger footwell, ecu is just wedged between battery and body work seperated by carpet, so water gets in from leaking heaters, good design!!

rapidcossie

Ill go out to the car in a bit and try and calibrate it.

what exactly should happen when I push the button?

what will be displayed?

costina

iTrader: (1)

Euan read the instructions for first time set up

This will sort u out mate as it worked for me over 20 times untill i found out mine was duffit would not hold calibration settings for more than 3 engine starts

doing it as for first time set up resets and recals all

hope this makes sense

please note i'm using the ano gauge not the xd 16 but the LC1 cals in the same way regardless of which type of gauge u use

Paul

rapidcossie

cheers cos!

black scoob

just bought this same 1, hope it works ok, alan setting it up for me before i get the car back....

rapidcossie

This is the first prob I have had scott.

It usually needs a wee mess around with after its been disconnected from the battery for a while but usually calibrates within seconds.

Ill go out now and try it.

black scoob

didnt think you had had any probs before....hows the car going?you must be glad to have it back at last, hoping mines not going to be too far behind you, should be this week i pick it up...

rapidcossie

was out in last nite for a bit and its causing me stress already

while driving along the water temps tells me its 140deg

so In a panic I switched the engine off and jumped out and looked under the bonet only to find everyhting is cool and the temp sensor is gubbed

black scoob

is that the same sensors you had to replace before??relief its just the sensor though...it still feel the same as before to drive or there been any new changes?

rapidcossie

fixed the wideband and its now reading properly again!

Its defo the SPA temp sensor thats at fault cos I swapped it for the oil temp sensor and now seeing same fault on that and water is ok.

Scott is not the same sensors as before, this water temp sensor actaully looks likes is been stretched and the wires are kinda out of the the sensor itself.

thank fuck these ones are only 30 quid to replace.

i spoke to alan last week,ive to phone tomorrow to see if i can get my car in

but he said hes going on holiday for a week

rapidcossie

Hope to see yours at full boost soon Col!

NEIL A

iTrader: (6)

Good news that you got it back mate must feel weird to drive. Is the sensor SPA specific or a generic sensor that they use.

rapidcossie

Its a specific connection so I can only use the SPA ones Neil.

The sires going to sensor have had a hard time due to heat(used to use this one as the oil temp) so are brittle and breaking up.

Its an easy fix so not that phased.

costina

iTrader: (1)

Glad u sorted it

Paul

rapidcossie

Just unplugged it from the LC-1 and left it for 20 secs then re-conected it.

I havent been for a drive but im getting 12's on cold start so I think thats right.

costina

iTrader: (1)

What u get on boost ?

Paul

rapidcossie

Im normally low 11's on full boost at high rpms but it hard to watch the gauge when on full throttle

costina

iTrader: (1)

lol at warp speeds looking at anything other than the road is hard

Paul

rapidcossie

HAve you used the data logging on yours?

costina

iTrader: (1)

No as i've not got a lap topjust wanted mine as gauge only really would have had a stack if i'd know about them at the time due to all the probs i had with this one in the begining

Paul

black scoob

not as expensive as the last time you had to replace sensors then IIRC...

vroooom ptssssh

Euan, I 'think' we've fixed the wiring on that sensor before for some reason, think its got some heat shrink on it from previous fix iirc?

rapidcossie

yeah its has been fixed before Dave.

The heat shrink has torn and left the wires exposed.

I was out to get the shopping inthe car and its working intermittantly.

Defo time for a replacement.

vroooom ptssssh

bummer, could probably fix it but suppose best just getting a new one for the hassle

rapidcossie

yeah its got to come out to be fixed so may aswell replace it with a brand spanker.

iTrader: (5)

so do i mate

black scoob

how far is yours from being ready col?

col cos1

iTrader: (5)

its been ready to go in for mapping for 4 weeks now,ive been phoning alan every week for the last 6 weeks

begining to get a bit pissed off to be honest ive got so much money tied up in the car and never get to use the fukn thing

black scoob

know exactly how you feel mate, all that money sitting there doing nowt, thats nearly 17 months my car has been away and am starting to lose heart with it and wonder why i'm bothering...i'm supposed to be getting it back end of this week, think if it was to take much longer i'd look at breaking the car and buying something i can use more...
