But now that iv ruled out the mechanical and sensor side of it and its still happening I'm left with a retune as the only possible answer, but why only my car fml and why only when it's friken cold outside :-(Inbox me your location ratter...

So what if you spend 1k or 2k on parts. You gotta work out these sort of problems yourself. Most mechanics cant read a manual so have a fat chance solving it anyway, unless its you Ratter. I reckon you would have solved it quick smart. Edited 08/12/12 06:18 AM by turbotrana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 9m 5d Gender: Male Posted 09/12/12 01:02 AM Share Posted 09/12/12 01:02 AM But I am not talking about outright blind guessing. There comes a point where you have read the fault codes, tested what you can with a multimeter, got advice from the net, then there comes a time to do parts substitution and process of elimination.But in this case it could be a software tune issue where you may need to start off with a stock tune, stock boost, stock injectors and go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmhkla Donating Members 45 Member For: 14y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Hoppers Crossing Posted 09/12/12 04:08 AM Author Share Posted 09/12/12 04:08 AM That's right, I started the parts substitution because I saw false readings from the map sensor. For the price of a turbosmart actuator and second hand boost solenoid it wasnt hard to just get them and fit them too. As it turns out the boost cutting still happens but not as often per drive cycle which has now pointed me back in the direction of the tune.Who can I take it too that uses hp tuners Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
