RS Tuner done car feels slower

Car  Clio 182
Anyone else had this?
Remapped with the supplied 98ron map and it feels pretty horrid to be fair, lower torque hasnt improved and the 5k kick remains but the car seems to be struggling to rev compaired to before the map :(
What could be causing this ? the car does smell of petrol

Going to keep the map on till sat and if no improvement go back to stock
 
Try again, did you have a charger fitted to battery?

If it again feels like it and smells of fuel then fit a new pre cat lambda
 
Thanks for the reply,
Do both the full ecu and the cal file again ?
It wasn't connected to a charger at the time, the charger i have is only 4amp would this be enough ?

Will give that a go first, the pre cat lambda was only changed 10months ago so hoping its not that again.
 
Its the one Henk from Fastchips supplied using the ecu screen grab from the RS tuner software so i would hope its correct :)
 
To be fair, it doesn't make a massive difference.
Mine felt quicker before the map but was very lumpy when cold, which the map has improved a lot.
Has the cold idle raised to 1100rpm and then drop to 1000?
 
It should make a big enough difference to notice, I could certainly tell when I did mine.

As said, 1100 rpm on cold start up, 950 rpm when warm if it's worked.
 
Any fault codes/warning lights on? Mine held back far more noticeably with RSTuner map on it with the EML lit compared to when the car wasn't mapped. My front lambda is intermittently refusing to give a sensible reading, it's obviously dying so could be the same issue you're having.
 
Idle is around 950rpm and does seem a little smoother still has a little splutter tho.
Yeah I'm always running it on 98 :)
Only fault code that showed was an historic abs one
