Technical 1.6 no throttle, limp mode [ECU?]

fennbeam · Dec 15, 2008

ok had the car back for a couple of weeks now an it does not seem to have the same "get up an go" as before, lacking slight bottom end power, also difficult to nicely pull away when cold, wants to almost stall, no fault codes, or big changes in fuel consumption

any one got any ideas, was the new ecu not completely/ correctly programmed ??

Hi there

I just wanted to tell you that your fault is likely to a dodgy coil pack in number 4 cylinder it causes interference with the ecu , you could try and swop them around. The best bet is ti change it for an original only not a motor factors????

On mine someone managed to not properly connect the intakepipe (airboxside). Took me a while to figure that out.....
Since I tightened the clamp mine runs much better
