ICV playing up and powerfc is frozen
 

hey guys

just need some help if any one has had the same problem

i got my car back from ASG from an engine rebuild car was excellent they told me the ICV had shat itself so they changed it with a second hand one drove it for 1 day and the idle was crazy wanted to stall and hunt every time i dump the clutch in it would drop and stall so i changed it with another one yesterday it was fine again drove nice parked it at work started it and it was idling kind of low driving it home it got worse until it would stall like it did before everytime you slow down and push the clutch in it would stall and now when i started it the power fc hand controller is stuck on the apexi logo =[

thanks

Try disconnecting your car battery overnight and give it a go in the morning.

ok i will try that

the disconneting battery didnt work i try disconnecting the icv then it idle
at 1.5k stable then i reconnected it started to surge from 1.5k to 2k for a while then drops to 1k

now i left it to cool down a bit it doesnt idle low now rev it and it sits on1.5k for 2 secs then drops to 1k

the power fc is still frozen

Maybe try unplugging the hand controller from the ECU and back in again.
The ECU itself must still be in pretty good working order, it takes a lot of smarts to make the engine run.

a stuffed coolant temp sensor can also cause problematic idle, just a thought ;) maybe take it back to asg and get them to check it all out

He probably still asleep :D

1. Unplug the hand controller from the ecu.
2. Start the car (hand control unplugged)
3. Stop the engine & plug the h/c back in.
4. cycle ignition & see if it still freezes.

It's been raining, so check the h/c & ecu plugs for moisture too.

Re: your idle issue : It sounds like you need to do an Idle re-learn.

***DO NOT RE-INTIALIZE YOUR ECU***
You will lose your tuned map.

Unfortunately you need to be able to Reset the ecu to it's base mapping to be able to do the Idle/load learn procedure & then reload your current map after doing it.

Call the boys and ask them if they can do an idle learn for you.
