General Car Related Discussion.To discuss anything that is related to cars and automotive technology that doesnt naturally fit into another forum catagory.
no not shielded but its not close to the coil/leeds either(5-6"away)
no to give you a example my fuel pressure gauge sender was 8 inch away from a coil lead and was giving a reading of 70 psi when actual reading was 45 psi , the coil and leads give off quite a strong interference signal which in turn give wrong readings or conflict readings
surely if the act, or ect were far enough out to raise the co this much you could spot an unrealistic value on the secs monitor?
true but is it seeing the right value or is it working correctly
the act or ect will have a default setting that will put the car rich if they are not connected properly or broken so the car will be rich what ever happens
likewise the map sensor value cannot be seen on his secs, and the fact its in the std place under the header tank, where they get wet...id deffo check that out....they dont like moisture up em

I really don't know where he gets it from. He's gone from such classic posts (on interford) as coz we're boostin and a brakin!, to reckoning he's a world leader in closed loop,and religious factions in the western world!
It's probably allready been checked or mentioned, but doesnt he closed loop cut out if it detects movement on the TPS, maybe if its not set to fully closed on the throttle?
All th problems many seem to have with the closed loop setup really makes me wonder if it is the way to go or not!!
Yeah, every manufacturer in the world since 1992 (Any many before in USA and Europe) are all fooking idiots. Pointless system.
Problems are NOT caused by closed loop systems. Every car in the world has had it fitted for over 16 years. Its tried and tested by ever manufacturere in the world and they still use it today. Even the saphs manufactured in late 1991 and ALL the Escort Cosworths had it as standard, as do all the Focus Rs, ST etc.
The problems are caused by faulty cars and owners not doing things correctly, as i get the feeling Matt may confirm...

Give that man a prize. this is without doubt the most common problem we see when customers DIY the system and then complain it does not work.

Since I got closed loop, I defo noticed my fuel needle is moving way less, despite being a lot faster and harder driven, light takes around 20 secs to go out for heater.
