VR4 A'Spec
Hey all, i have abit of a problem with the vr4, it is a aspec 90 vr4, with everything standard except exhaust and jspec fmic and piping.
I recently bought a bigger fmic and piping. I got everything i needed and was planning on swapping my battery and airbox around with a custom made intake pipe from afm to turbo at the same time.
Anyways i started yesterday and today i got everything on and after some really tuff work swapping the batterry and air box around, i made sure evrything was right including all hose plugged in etc.. i went to turn the key and i started normal at first, i let it warm up, and couldnt wait to take it up and down the street, so i let it roll down my drive way and when i accelarated the car was not moving, when i mean not moving i put it in 1st and then it went but there was no throttle response and it wouldnt rev past, say around 1300, which was barely enough to keep it from stalling.
So i chucked it back up the driveway without really getting anywhere(still the same, car not accelarating past 1300).
I double checked all the connections and hoses were plugged in and then started it again and this is where my headaches began. The vr4 started revving right to 4000rpm on idle so i quickly switched it off, again made sure everything is in place, then i turned it back on and still the same story, after about another half hour of trying to figure out and fix the problem, i really couldnt source the cause of this. It is really bad the car aint drive able and when on if i tap the accelerator the revs just keeps climbing.
Anyways after a day wasted i thought i should put it all back to normal and then re think where i went wrong, but after ive put it all together i still have the same problem BUT its not revving at 4000 its now at around 2500, even when i tap the accelator on idle the revs still keep climbing slowly then back down to 2500.
I really thought it would be a bolt on affair, but i was wrong.
Is there something ive overlooked or it might of been something i have done in the process of all this?
Also can the ecu somehow reset?
Im going to ring meek or my mechanic 2morrow and see if they can shed some light on the situation but for now it might be something simple or maybe something done wrong.
I really dont have a clue to what it could be and any ideas or help would be much appreciated
Thanks Andy
