FLUTTERING?? & Check engine....

[Sam]

Hey all just got my car and recently had ecu prob, got solders fixed up and before pin 14 was rusty and bypassed which is fixed, also was causing fuel pump to be going from acc, so it was so called fixed, but got it back and auto electric said he thinks I need to replace my knock sensor as since it went in it's check engine is now on, is this just coinsidence? also since it came back when it's really cold and I take off and touch boost I can hear a little flutter instead of norm boost noise until I get to about third, then it goes away and back to norm for the rest of trip?? what have they done? I do know before I got it, It ran a little rough and does same now, prob gets rougher the harder you drive?

Any help would be appreciated, tis going to get a diagnostic tomorro, have no idea what it is.

Guy who did ecu said chip isn norm and got done at the start of the year at meek, says ecu fixed (chip included)? but at place where it has always been fixed he says it's stock chip? I don't know who to listen too..

check your bov and bov vacc line

let us know what the outcome of the diagnostic is, this will give you most of your questions!

You should be datalogging

Dre, he doesn't know how to datalog. I don;t know how to Datalog...although I've never had a Dataloggable ECU.
Some one explain to Sam what he needs to do. Just plug into the Mitsu Scan tool plug?

No he just needs a Palm pilot, the MMC program off the internet downloaded onto it and a cable.

Sam if we catch up I'll do it on the laptop

With regards to the fluttering, does it only do this when you back off after giving it a bit? If so, then it is simply that the vacuum line is not connected to the blow off valve and you are getting compressor surge.

if you happen to have a laptop, you can download the palm emulator software and use the laptop.

i have nfi about this either... where can you grab the cable.. dick smith or somewhere like that or does it have to come from mmc?

i presume there is somewhere to plug it in in the passenger footwell under a kick pannel?

also anyone got the url for the software?

mebbe all this should be stickied somewhere

yea i know how to data log and I have a palm and cable but palm cable it's self I think, is damaged and no data is bein transfered, so I didn want to mess round so I just went to get a diagnostic. Knock sensor needs replacing, and flutter is due to snap exhaust bolt/s, only a small leak but when it heats up it goes away as parts expand with the heat... will have to fix that too.

That's good news its just a manifold stud. I didn't hear anything when we test drove it/checked it out though. And the car was stone cold when we were lookin over it.
