Fat feet & legs are something I don't have forunately.

As for the cockpit - I prefer the term "interference fit"

Car burbled into life this morning without any throttle, and gently idled whilst I scraped the frost off the glass and an uneventful drive to work without the need of left foot braking at roundabouts.

Thanks Mac, seems to have done the trick. :thumbsup

I really enjoyed having a wee play with the emerald software - it's not an area where I'm strong but is somewhere that I would like to expand my understanding.


Was a good night, fitting IMHO.

How did you two get on after I left? Any joy with the air temp sensor and the emerald connection?

Tried on Mandy's laptop too but still couldn't pick up the maps from the ecu -so loaded it on to the software from disc and check the live stuff.

Re-calibrated the TPS and reset the pot number where it recognises idle. This helped a bit but the IACV was still de-activated, sorted that and it made difference.


Wouldn't mind some more time with it to see if it can't be refined a bit more......

Give me some warning as I can come up with the laptop that has definitely worked before (I have a backup of his map) and I've played about with the software for years now 8)

And where's the fun in that for me :D

I'm enjoying the "ok, so that didn't work" phase - more so on someone elses car :lol:

Mac,

Have a copy on my wife's laptop if you need a hand, being in Cambuslang I may be closer than others.

Cheers David,

It's Paul's car and he's got a copy on a different laptop - which I'm sure he'll bring the next time :wink:
