So another long trip down to Horsham for work yesterday saw me staying late and going round to Nialls afterwards. The revs kept sticking and the fan was on constantly the whole way.
We connected up the omex and found the TPS was fluttering between 25 and 26 and 26 was when the throttle started. We bumped this up to 27 and it idles a lot better and the pedal has a nice feel to it now.
Also we found that whilst my dash displayed 70 degrees the omex read 85 and the fans were indeed set to come on at 85. We let the car get up to temp and when the software said 90 the dash said 90 too. Niall suspected a possible air lock. We set the fans to come on at 90 degrees and they now turn on and off fine!
Pubbage after this occured and I now have a seam welded subframe and wrapped gti6 exhaust manifold to put on.
Car is much better to drive and for the first time in years I dont have to worry about it overheating! Dartford crossing is notorious!
