I start the ute and the check engine light comes on, the car runs rough for a few seconds and then dies. I restart the ute and presto no problems for a month or two until one day it does it again.I havn't told HPF about though as it only happens every now and then and doesn't seem to leave any adverse effects with mine. The ute runs as strong as ever when I restart it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Tuner Member 727 Member For: 22y 2m 14d Posted 17/12/05 05:08 AM Share Posted 17/12/05 05:08 AM The fix for the throttle light is a simple one. One of the idle airflow tables from the A3YA (early) XR6T calibration has some odd numbers in it that can cause the engine to flare at startup, which in turn can cause the PCM to throw the throttle light as it sees too many engine revs with the pedal not having moved. Its a 5 minute fix, and yes this does happen in stock cars with the A3YA calibration as well....All of the dealers that attended the training course four months ago know about this, and how to fix it. Its definitely not an issue that should be causing any of you problems now. I really am concerned about your unhappiness with this Goldbullet, but I believe your problems are calibration rather than hardware related. that's the point I have been trying to make clear here. You know if you need any help I will sort it for you, as I have in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So therefore I must be a dreamer and a lyer at the same time.Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest xrtwpn Guests Posted 24/12/05 12:20 AM Share Posted 24/12/05 12:20 AM What I cant understand is cars like mine and craigs drive every single day and get thrashed without a problem at much higher rwkw and cars with ALOT less power have all these problems maybe you are all pushing your cars too hard all the time to use the most of what power you have ?

As simple as that.Earlier this week I fixed a calibration on an auto XR6T which was experiencing throttle response lag (of up to 5 seconds) everytime the driver put his foot down. Chasing the problem it appeared that someone had altered the tailshaft rpm setting in the calibration and missed a digit ( programmed 1500 instead of 15000).Like Martin said, unless it's been an issue prior to the car ever having edit, it's been a programming fault/error. Remember, some mechanics have big phucken fingers and can slip on the keyboard.If your not happy with your tuner go and see someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
