blitz access ecu

[boost abuse]

alright peeps,

someone told me it was possible for the blitz access ecu to go into "limp mode" where it cuts back performance once it detects a knock / malfunction. Anyone heard of this before or know anythnig about it?

When I fitted mine and started driving, I did notice that sometimes there was more power than at other times, and power did fluctuate as if it was cutting back on timing etc.

It was only for a few seconds but, and the Blitz does give out fault codes if it detects an engine problem, like a standard ecu. If it went into a permanent "limp mode" you would get a fault code.

If its down on power, I would look elsewhere for a problem. Its easy to swap back the old ecu and see if the problem goes away.

Did I see you today about 1 o`clock near Abbeycenter?

not yet mate, hopefully getting it done tonight. Was just interested because i couldn't find much info on access ecu's on google.

weeJohn - nope defainltly not, been in ballymoney all day!

i know jam ecu does go to limp mode, well ep91 one anyway

 

[dave-izzle]

sorry to hijack, but does the mines have this feature and give out fault codes?

make sure the base timing is at 10deg before fitting it (as its pre mapped assuming that its running 10degs)
