A single is conceived, few month before she is born?

Sounds like the AST is still burping the system. Keep topping up the LH water cap (on water pump). It should not need any more (or a tiny bit) in after a short while if all is fine.

Its just shoving out excess water, if it carries on doing it after a while its more worrying.

right I have installed the apexi and commander, can someone explain if possible how to get it to idle properly it revs up and down 1000 to 2000 really quickly???
 
If I start the car with my foot planted down it will rev right round smooth as hell which the car has never done, but as soon as it drops back down below 4000rpm it does the eve up and down thing and wont rev past 3000rpm
 
Is there something I can switch on off, etc on the commander
 
regards tom

Is it a new Apexi and have you let it learn your car? from my understanding you need to plug it in and let it do it\'s thing for a bit... sure a few posts are around explaining the process

[fil_auto]

yep, the ECU learning process, do a search for the Apexi manual, it\'ll explain... although ur idling issue could be TPS or the like related ??!! :O

Start car let it run until idle smooths out. Then turn ac on let idle smooth out, turn of ac turn rear window heater on, smooth idle.
Think there is one more thing to do but can\'t remember. Once you get it mapped it will be all sorted

There is a voltage for the tps in the settings menu on the comander. Not sure what it though, I installed mine a long time ago.

If it idles too high when it settles down the tps position can be the cause.

I have messed with the tps and had it off the car, does it need setting? do these cars have a idle control valve ICV?  

I have reset the apexi using the commander, followed this sequence, etc // data in it // yes // turn ign off and back on

Is that right?

how long does it take to learn itself???

[123tom123tom]

is there any setting I need to change on this apexi pfc, turn anything on or off etc

[123tom123tom]

yay i have got it running right? for anyon out there with the symptoms i have had, it was the TPS, wrong voltage and needed setting up... I used the Commander to find the fault and fix it.... what a great bit of kit,
 
only problem I now have is my coolant system and trying to bleed it or burp it.... any one know where I can find the correct procedure for coolant replacement
 
cheers guys again

Take the back pipe off at around the back of the throttle body and let it sit up about the throttle. Fill up at the AST until it doesn\'t take any more water. Stick its cap back on. Carry on filling in the waterpump filler till it get to the brim. Cut a 2lt pop bottle in half and carry on filling at the water pump till there is a steady flow of water out of the pipe at the throttle body. Stick it back on. The fill the overflow up half way and keep an eye on it till it settles (usually it sets the low coolant buzzer off after 30 secs while its burping air out)

I assume this is well the car is running? :Thumbs-up

[shaunwil]

Hell no !

Shaun

[shaunwil]

It will just pump coolant every where :Giggle out of throttle body pipe !

Touch wood,(on 6fd\'s) I\'ve never done anything except fill the coolent through the coolent cap even with an empty block,rad,etc both on standard and moddified fd\'s and never had a problem burping the system by compressing the rad pipes...

[123tom123tom]
