Rica 310

[Enigma666]

Well, fitted this and my jolt is still there

Anyone wanna enlighten me as to what is the issue?
Only happens if I actually floor the pedal, ease on the power and it is good (and fast) as gold....now getting very confused

[Mrsmopp]

Its not something silly like plugs is it?

[Chad]

mrsmopp can vouch for that map, if you got it from nads then that was the rica310 that was out moppys s70 t5

[Enigma666]

Awesome didn't think about the map itself being faulty, plugs were changed (apparently) now I am gonna have to check, bought some new ones anyways to have as spares so I'm gonna change them when I get them if they need it, other than that.....I am at a loss, no sign of boost leaks or anything...car is fine on standard map, so must be something that is caused by the extra stress of the map **scratches head**

[Mrsmopp]

Oh is that my old one?? I'm not helping you anymore then taking bits of my old baby

I had that map for about 2 years so I know its a good un, it would boost to about 1.2 to 1.3 bar but would show up as soon as the plugs got tired so that would definately be my next port of call.

Ty kindly, now let me go punch the mech who said he was gonna service her while I was at work

[MARKY70RRR]

hope you get it sorted soon chris

Well, an update on this one then....d/c the battery (why the heck not) and off I went...issue still there.....changed back to the standard ECU and problem STILL there!!!
Now I am at a loss....the problem is less noticeable with the standard ECU but still there....feels like a total misfire of some sort...no codes, no CEL, no nothing just p!$$ poor performance when on heavy throttle.....waiting for plugs from FB to try that, but if the damn thing is still a problem then I have to contemplate the future of my C70

[Mrsmopp]

Dont give up! It really does sound like the plugs. The reason I say that is because when I slung that ecu on my V70 it did exactly the same thing, swapped the ecu back and low and behold still present (although not nearly as stuttery) plug change and voila!

Hi chris i know how you feel its a rite pain in the bum the next step for me would be a break down in the ignition system either plugs or leads.
With you putting the old ecu back in and still having the same problem but slighter it is obvious the rica had found a weakness in something and this is where the problem may lay.
Have you checked all vack lines?
New plugs/leads?
cheacked acuator?
cheacked intercooler pipes?

The problem sounds like myne was as when you hit the throttle and it doesnt need to be wot but 3/4 of the way it would stutter rather bad and other times just feel like a slight miss.

[Enigma666]

Thanks for the confidence boost guys (and gals of course)

I'll change the plugs as soon as they arrive from FB (hoping they would have been here by now)...change them, then kick it in the proverbial nuts if it still doesn't work

[t5 pete]

hope it goes well for you bud you coming on flash chat

[timbo_1975]

If it is quite an aggressive yet random splutter, then i would definately be going for plugs, plug gaps (close them up 1/10th mm) and try again, rotor arm, leads etc.

The extra boost is finding a weak spot in the HT system...

Or trade up to a Citroen C1 and save £2000.

[t5 pete]
