car has 44km now and was rebuild about 15km ago, i just came of roundabout and planted foot down ??

how do i take it off limp mode

disconnect the battery, hold your foot on the brake for about 20 seconds.....

then reconnect the battery. Putting your foot on the brake just uses the remaining current in the system

still the same i disconnect batt for 30 mins

I think we may have an oiled up sparkplug. Mind you, doesnt explain no boost?

Pull out the sparkplugs, and even get a new set if possible. And while they\'re out, you can do the "feel for even pulses" test.

the re set for ecu is only for a standard ecu i think..jurgen has a f con pro so dont think that wld have a limp mode or reset without dumping the map

well guys here is pic of car below, am not going to take any chances i have cheked everything i can and again the car started fine this morning with no smoke and the boost idles ok?

so i have arranged for pip to get car asap via trailer and if its not major or major ish, it will be getting water injection and a few extra mods but car is well modded too.

i will also be replacing the hks f con pro ecu as originally planned.

the car would of been road registered this time next week, oh well jusgt have to wait and see now.

cheers for advice

Sounds exactly like what happened to my Car last week, as it came up on full boost there was a little pop/bang and then it lost power and sounded real rough...

hope it\'s nothing too major

sounds like what happened to my car when I warped the seals coz of the oil injection going up the spout.
It was running rough on idle like your describing

jurgen · February 26, 2006, 08:12:42 PM

one of my pipes to boost sensor unit had melted away so am thinking this may have made overboost and possibly shagged a seal ??

lets wait and seewhat pip finds, the car still starts no bother and no smoke.

this really spoiled my weekend as the car would of been on road next saturday

Quote from: rx7veilsidewhen i lost 2 tips car started fairly easy from cold but best described as a bit chuggy and engine was shaking.

Sorry to hijack the thread... but Paul, when did this happen... is this the car you bought off Joel and had a fairly recent rebuild from Reworx?

i had a similar problem which no one could find. turned out to be the coils breaking down. they tested ok but had a weak spark.

were your symptoms same as mine

and also who diagnosed your problem

had no power but was able to drive it, came out of its mot like it, was like it was running on one rotor. i just started changing random parts till it worked. If your compresion test comes back ok then it would be something to try.
