... swopped out the airbox for a K&N induction kit the other day:
Runs amazingly well through the gears with no flat spots anymore in 2nd, upwards...
But - there seems to be a bit of a problem at the high end of 1st.
MASSIVE flat spot.
Now you have to bear in mind that I used to have to rev the balls off it in first to go anywhere quick - which seemed to be ok, but since the induction kit went on it gets to a certain rev range (which I don't know due to not having a rev counter {yet}).
I was speaking to one of the guys at work (skyline driver - soon to be the proud owner of a cinq sporting for his daily drive), and he suggested getting my spark plugs changed (mainly because it's the last remaining part of the service which I haven't done), and also that there may be a problem with the ecu.
Apparently if the ECU learns, to some extent, my driving pattern - as his does in his clio, it could have caused complications now that there is a larger amount of cold air being delivered to the engine.
The suggestion was to reset the ECU by:
*Disconnect red battery lead.
*Switch on hazards.
*Pump brake approx 10 times.
*leave for approx 2hrs.
*reconnect.
*take for a blast - while taking great care to drive as irratically as I usually do.
...any thoughts on this?
