Jamie at Evotune can check it over and fueling he is from a cosworth background

GaryF has used him to check his fueling after I told him about Jamie and he used to do all the work on my Evo before I sold it

used motoscope on my old cossie.
but you only need the afr adjusting/checking, so jamie will be perfect cos he's local. He used to run a 400bhp sapph years ago, now messes with big power evo's.
he is a good friend of the lad i got my sapph from.

the screw on ecu has nothing to do with fueling while the car drives i dont think? iirc its only to adjust the base idle emisions.

This would have been part of the setup so if it was setup correctly something has changed, you need to know what CO the author has written the chip for (In your case ask NMS) then set it accordingly, but it may be something more serious if it's suddenly changed, does yours hunt on a cold start, as this can cause it?

The CTS is the main corrective factor for the CO as the info is used for the base amount of fuel injected from freezing to boiling, these can go out of scope after a while so can send duff info.

no mate its a global adjustment for the co so your adjusting it across the rev range!anyone of the tuners can do a set up fella,but if nms mapped it take it back to them to set her up

It is known as the "Global Mod" as it subtracts a percentage from the fuel map so if not correctly you can end up with insufficient fueling up top, so there is a lot more to it than that!

scotty i still suspect the cts.i think i would get a local garage to put it back to were it was before the mot.then replace this sensor,take it back to the garage to see if its changed,the cost of the sensor is only 10.99 from msd or matt lewis.
