engine light

[leigh571]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum so i apolgize if this is in the wrong place. I've been out in my glanza tonight and the engine light came on just before i got home and now i'm a bit worried its never done it since i had the car and after i turned it off and started it again its gone.

Any suggestions?

do this and see what code you get clicky id put my money on fuel cut if i was a betting man
plus what mods have you got?

 

[leigh571]

[madman]

[madman]

[madman]

[leigh571]

Something to do with the Map: 31.MAP SEMS/CIR OR AFS

Something to do with the Map Sensor: 31.MAP SEMS/CIR OR AFS

wel seeming as they only have an exhaust and it was at night time and that night is was relatively cool out id back it being fuel cut over the map sensor

Always, you cooking?

do i need to do anything to prevent it from happening again though i was thinkin hks fcd but i've read that u only really need to fit one if u hav other mods i.e decat etc

 

[madman]

a hks fcd will only hide the problem and lead to serious problems unless you sort out your fueling

your experiencing boost creep clicky
port your wastegate and then get your fueling checked out and possibly choose one of these options

1. rrfpr, fcd and apexi safc
2. piggyback or standalone ecu

depends on which route you want to go down and what sorta plan's you have for the future

 

[davehart]

Are the only mods an exhaurst? Strange that its hitting cut with just that as a mod.

As madman said, just fitting an FCD is just hiding a problem that needs to be fixed. That guides a good read on solutions to fix the creep but if its standard then one issue may be a weak actuator.

What other mods are you running or is that it?

 

[madman]

i hit fuel cut one night when she was completely stock mind you it was really cold that night..

 

[davehart]

Never hit it in mine, not even on the chilliest nights.

I guess each car has its own mood though.

 

[leigh571]

i have got an hks ssqv fitted aswell
