absolute n00b

Post by castek »

Hi all,

i have a vn calais v8 that has had a full rebuild with a crow 280 cam.
i got a tune done at a workshop (memcal) but its running very rich and the timing is so advanced that when i take my foot off the accelerator the car keeps going.

is there a post here outling what i need to buy and download to be able to either burn new memcals or do a live tune? i would prefer the live tune option obviously.


thanks in advance for any help

Hi, I dont think advanced timing would cause that, it would just make it ping.. you more than likely have a sticky throttle cable. check that first..

Might be worth putting it in diagnostic mode and try taking it for a drive to see if it still does it. This will lock the timing at 10 deg below 2000RPM. Would eliminate that as a potential cause.

Would also be a good opportunity to check your base timing.

Just a thought.
