I bought my old man a Laptop.
It has W8.
I have had to leave because I felt my blood pressure rising. It is horrendous.
How the hell are you supposed to turn the frigger off!?
This is what I had once (Not this exact one). 1.3 Driver and was mental quick for what it was. £400 and got wrote off in 2 weeks. Bought back for £50 and lasted 3 years straight through the MOTs. Was utterly epic and was all over 205 GTI's on corners.
Miss it seriously.
Well, several ways to do this... but I personal would use the hill in a gear to use no fuel and keep the speed at the limt, once it starts to flatten out, chuck it into a high gear and feather the throttle if it begins to slow too much.
In an ST220 where MPG is horrific - you practice this...
V.A.G and Toyota have both had me on course before where they have explained how this all works... it was as simple as an oscilloscope to the injector wiring and it was 1000rpm odd. Basically where the engine needs fuel to keep it running (Idle to fast idle) it supplies fuel. Otherwise - it cuts...
Yeah, see what you are say, but you need the gear to match the speed you want don't you? So in 6th the car will still pick up speed (Fuelling is cut) as the compression in the cylinders are less frequent and there is less to slow the car. in 4th say, the revolutions are higher, more instances of...
Eh, What? In neutral rolling down the hill... Where do you think the fuel is coming from to keep the 900 revs??? Throttle may be cut but the ECU is still supplying fuel to let it idle mate.
But in say 4th, on a downhill section with no throttle the ECU cuts ALL fuel as the momentum turns the...
Because in neutral, rolling down the hill you are wasting brake pads and fuel. The injectors are still getting fuel to idle the engine. In gear, the engine is spun by the momentum and the ECU cuts the fuel - that's why the MPG gauge goes high.
Always. ECU's cut fuel to the injectors when you do it. The Road momentum turns the engine.
Same with a big hill, drop a gear or two so you lose no speed and coast down, fuel is cut.
Download the latest ones.
Goto Programs and Features in Control panel and uninstall all ATI drivers (Catalyst ) you can find... then download the new suite and try that. Never had an ATI card die on me yet.
