Quick Power FC question

[D3S]

lol yeah i think we are nearly there working it out what sensor is giving grief.

Thats cool that the PFC can check things like that otherwise you would of never known.

I will have a look at that later tonight.

I have a printout of what the codes mean at home. Mine is showing an error at the moment too: metering oil pump posion sesnor. So I\'m sticking oil in my fuel to keep her lubricated!

[D3S]

That one sounds slightly more interesting that mine and more important

Its handy that the PFC you can diagnose faulty sensors as well...hmm now i am worried to check what else maybe broke lol

Gav

[nikp]

Yeah, tis a bit more serious as its possible that the metering oil pump isn\'t putting any oil into the engine! So that\'s why I am putting oil into the petrol - as recommended by Carl, so i have no doubt that my engine is still safe!!

[D3S]

Hope its an easy fix matey?

Gav

[nikp]

It\'s not actually - that\'s why I\'m putting oil in with the petrol. Apparently it is possible to remove the oil metering pump with out removing the turbo pack, but it\'s a lot easier if you do remove it - and that\'s an 8 hour job for someone who knows what they\'re doing! So I\'m leaving that one for a bit!! :p

[D3S]

Annoying that it does not show anything at the moment, i will have to wait next time it comes on the check what sensor it is.

I replaced the oil metering pump a few months back. It can be done without removing the turbo\'s - mine stayed in place. However you need to remove the water pump housing because the bottom hose union is in the way. Once this is off, its not too bad - just a little difficult to get to the back 10mm bolt on the OMP. I think it took about 4 hours with me finding out what to remove along the way.

MAkes you not want to plug in PFC when it starts finding faults lol.

Well the PFC is telling me that the air temp sensor is playing up, does anyone know where that is located?

Cheers for the info. Doesn\'t sound too bad - although I think one of my water pump bolts is about to sheer. It just felt wrong when i started undoing it a while back - so i left it!!

Yeah - this is located under the UIM (Upper Intake manifold).

[D3S]

Ahh yeah i know the one, that maybe more of a lose connection that broken as i have had the UIM off a number of times and probably knocked it.

Quick one,

When you have set the base map on the APEXI can you reset that?

Cheers

The Power FC will always default back to the standard base map when re-initialised.

[D3S]

Can i reset that base map? I.E do that intial setup again. The problem is i didnt run the AC on full when i was setting it up so now it hunts when on full..what a donkey lol

Gav

[maximtaylor]

Yep, re-learns the idle etc.
