big problem

[nelly26]

sorry ill have to find out what chip they used on ecu im not to sure i let jap speciast deal with it has that sort of work i dont touch sorry

all you need to do is drop your ecu down, undo the 4 screws in the top and take a good pic of them

then we'll compare to stock ecu's and see what is different if anything

what mods have you done to your car?
also what year so i can compare to the correct ecu

[nelly26]

not much had head gasket done with stainless steel one and had hybrid turbo fitted . i am still looking for the right body kit having problems finding the right kit . i have bbs wheels and straight throught exhaust. im steel looking the right stuff in uk its hard to get right stuff

one more thing

could you describe what fuel cut felt like to you?
did it ever throw a check engine light or just misfire?

curious

gomez: are you 5sp or auto?
does it do in a specific gear?
how much traction loss is there
only in wet? or both?

[nelly26]

i would accelerate to 125 mph and it would cut out after a few seconds it would start running with a bit of missing for a few seconds and then no problems i was told by mechanic it was fuel cut off he then chipped it that is what told me it cost me about 200 pound it could hks i have had a look invoice sorry he told me it was chipped git

[nelly26]

ecu did flash but i left to mechanic to sort out

[suprra_girl]

ah hah

what you encountered was speed cut
you'll find when you drop the ecu that there is a pink wire and you have a little black box intercepting it


get that lead out of your foot

edit: any ideas what git stands for? just curious

but also odd... is yours an import? rhd or lhd?
uk cars i believe don't have speed cut but i guess maybe your ecu has been changed as some stage

if you do get the chance to drop your ecu would you be able to write down the part number on the ecu for me... i have a friend with a complete parts list so i can determine the originality of your ecu in particular

the speed cut is usually about 120mph

mine is uk spec rhd 5sdm 1992 i also have a 1990 aswell auto i have been told gear box has gone i dont have kick down any more and when put into drive it stalls and ecu light comes on
