they will be ground to be timed completely standard using the locking tools. Did you check the de-phaser solenoid is plugged in yet? are you sure you did the timing procedure right? just doing it out of sequence can throw the timing out

yes everyting has been put back correctly, timing procedure was correct, and the locking tools were used.

ECU re-flash wasn't it?
Black Gold with cup packs
it just doesnt feel like it did prior to the work being carried out. the car itself is running ok, But I know the car isn't right as it is no longer lumpy at lower revs (with these race cams it definetley should be), Because of the extra power prior to the work being carried out the car would torque steer in first and second. It does not do that anymore either! I am not going to drive it hard until I get it looked at by K-Tech, Yozza or GDI!

This did come to mind as a matter of fact, How would Iknow if the ECU was flashed, and what type of thing would have to be done in order for the ECU to be lose the map?

reading the other thread it sounds like all was ok running these cams until you changed the cambelt, that correct? If so it can only be something not set right or the de-phaser isn't functioning which is why i mentioned the solenoid

I don't know mate I am not ruling it out!
And Danny, I took the car apart again today and double checked everything and everything is in place, The only real problem I would run into is if the cams are tweaked differently from the Renault ones. I should have gone to Mike at Rentech

you wont lose the re-map, if it had done that the car wouldn't run at all. A re-flash isn't like a piggyback, the original map is wiped and replaced with new.

The car was running sweet as a nut! I loved it! Now it is 100% not picking up like it was. I have plugged it in and it is not reading any problems at all! But I don't think unless the timing was really out it wouldn't make much difference anyway!
How or what has to be done to put the ECU back to standard?
ITB'd MK1
hard to tell without having the car infront of me at this point tbh. I'd be looking for broken sensors, pinched fuel line, inlet gasket leak (or other vac leak) then back to check the timing again
ITB'd MK1
might be worth doing a re-set on the standard ECU then, the self learning can start to interfere after a while. Give us a call at GDI again tomorrow and we'll try to help with it, but do the checks i listed above first and see if you find anything

I know i used to work on a car with one of them piggy back ECUs and it was rubbish for ever breaking. and you sure everything is pluged in?

this could be your problem was it maped with the cams in the car or was it maped with the renault ones in there ?
