Thanks for the advice, the engine braking definitely vanished when the ecu was swapped. I am certain that the MAP hose is plugged and is air tight. I'll tweak the advance a little over the weekend and see what happens. I'd love to take her to the track at some point, but I am a) scared and b) very b...

I assume you have an S1 PTP 170 and are fitting an Emerald in an attempt to make it idle better and run on very low throttle positions without kangaroo-ing? The overrun issue is probably because you don't have the fuel cutoff set in the map, or possibly you do, but with the wrong parameters. It sho...

And if anyone with a PTP170 is considering doing this, I'd definitely say that the speel about it being "plug-...

Emeralds + MAP Sensor hose

Hello All,

I am swapping my ECU. My Emerald ECU has no Manifold Air Pressure hose inlet, so, the idiot question is :

1) How does it know the MAP?

2) Should I blank the hose with something?

Sorry if this is a bit lame for you tech guys :-)

Best regards,

Mark
