Had my car mapped the other day, scince having it done it is obv much faster, boosting higher, easier to drive at low speed in higher gears and also slightly better on fuel. Unfortunately though, I havn't managed to test it propperly off the line scince having it done a week ago as it hasn't been dry. Found a dry patch today, and gave it some off the line. Dissapointingly it was really flat, like it's not boosting in 1st gear, or starving of fuel. I don't actually think that it's related to the re-map to be honest, just wondering if anyone on here has had the same problem and knows what it is? I've had the problem before from various issues, like when I had a knackered MAF in the past, or turning my bleed valve up too high etc, but I've tried another MAF, and I'm not using the bleed valve any more, and those times it was happening in all gears and this time it's only in 1st, and is perfect in other gears. I have a suspician that it might be the fuel pump causing a fuel pressure issue, and my friend who breaks/repairs Volvo's suspects the same. Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem in the past, or has had a fuel pump pressure issue and whether the symptoms are this?
I don't usually ask for help on fixing stuff, but this is a weird fault which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The car doesn't know it's in first gear so why is it being a shagger in 1st only? Unless....the clutch pedal switch isn't making contact propperly.... Maybe not, just thought of that one as I was typing and was actually talking to myself when I typed it.
I'm all ears if anyone has had the same problem
