Rev Limiter cutting in early

[ADS_V6]

Searched the threads,clueless what to do,

recently car lacking grunt a bit,wont hit rev limiter like it used to

cts and thermostat and temp gauge are fine,could this be dodgy injector or coil,its also missing on cold from 1700rpm if foot held down for a minute or two.This has had 98ron map and wasnt doing it until now any help as nobody local to me to help

What's it limiting at?

 

[ADS_V6]

it should be 7500 with rs tuner its hitting not even stock limit,also can only get just after 80 in third,where before id get 90 in third ,thanks

Wow.

Ibtl x

 

[bloke]

wouldn't worry about it not hitting the limiter, will of stopped making power a bit before it anyway:wink:

 

[ADS_V6]

thanks the cup is only driven a few times every week maybe lack of use and the cold is the problem

 

[warwickstingray]

That's pretty much bang on the cold rev limit. How odd if the usual suspects are ok.

 

[ADS_V6]

yeh im baffled,2 new coolant sensors,3 thermostats.pipes are hot,heaters are hot etc,i noticed vibration on the gearstick at idle and wondered coil pack maybe,sometimes car surges and feels lean like a fuel problem

That's quite low I get 100 in third my gear shift light comes on about 75000 rpm but I change up before that just feel like red lining it is not good for the car

 

[warwickstingray]

75000rpm ruddy hell!

 

[andy1982]

75000rpm ruddy hell!

Lol yes I have a very special clio cup

 

[ADS_V6]

i was testing to see if i had correctly mapped the car with the rs tuner as it raises the limit,not to be a chav lol,the 5k kick has gone garage are going to check coils,injectors and fuel pump next week free of charge so cant moan

That's good mate since I have put the fatty induction kit on my 5k kick is not as strong

 

[ADS_V6]

ha ha and im changing the exhaust to a full ktec stealth supersports so gonna carry pack of aspirins in the car next week

[ADS_V6]

thought the difference at 5k was on standard map the car going on to open loop, with rs tuner it runs open loop all the time? could be wrong though.

 

[andy1982]

is the centre silenced?

Yes mate

 

[ADS_V6]

hi bloke prior to the rs tuner youd get a big kick up the back at 5k,now its barely there

 

[ADS_V6]

this is unsilenced oops

 

[bloke]

hi bloke prior to the rs tuner youd get a big kick up the back at 5k,now its barely there

that's what i said about lambda running open loop after 5k with standard ecu, run it open loop all the time and voila...no change in fuelling at 5k.

 

[ADS_V6]

so ive mapped it ok then ,cheers

 

[warwickstingray]

Pretty sure it's only under best power situations you'd get pants fuel consumption if it ignored the lambda all the time.

If you uploaded a map file you can't map it wrong. It either loads, doesn't or bricks your ECU. Loaded a map to my 206 diesel in a similar way. Although a hike of 50lbs/ft on a diesel is pretty noticeable so I knew it worked!

 

[ADS_V6]

thanks it drives better i messaged fast chip he said its not the map wrong but something in the car playing up french crap lol

 

[warwickstingray]

Might be worth seeing if anyone has Renaults Clip in the area. ECU might have logged something.

 

[andy1982]

this is unsilenced oops

Lol ear plugs

 

[ADS_V6]

what did you say mate,cant hear ya,actually cant wait to get it fitted sad i know

 

[ADS_V6]

yeh Renault cardiff my dad knows the boss so clip is half price still a lot though but might come to this,would take it to dansjm but he really busy i believe

 

[andy1982]

what did you say mate,cant hear ya,actually cant wait to get it fitted sad i know

No not sad mate your just a car nut like everyone on here

 

[ADS_V6]

i know mate,gotta stop spending money on the car,but its too addictive

 

[warwickstingray]

Hobbies cost money. Only a problem if others suffer or you don't enjoy it!

 

[ADS_V6]

true but i also got ocd with detailing so the cup gets too much spent on it,might sell it and get a mint 205 gti again flol

 

[andy1982]

i know mate,gotta stop spending money on the car,but its too addictive

Haha tell me about it mate

 

[ADS_V6]

took the cup out for an hour,got up to temp,and car revs to standard figures,could be possible i didnt remap with the rs tuner correctly,i sold it so cant look to see?
