    I worked on a suzuki that ran like that and it was a cam sensor, the ecu put it into limp home mode and the customer was in the oitside lane on the motorway and it dropped to 30mph

    cam sensor did NOT fix the fault. still limits at 5k!

    it MUST be the knock sensor not being compattible with the ecu?!

    Why are you running a 14XE ECU on a 16XE? Surely that can't be helping matters? Surely 16XE ECU's can be got hold of cheaply enough...

    When you fitted the powerbox did you lengthen the loom to plug in the egr or did you leave it unplugged?

    It wont and the 16xe ecu's are getting thin on the ground these days as people keep loosing the immob chips

    I am running a 14xe ecu beause it was the only one I could get hold of ASAP. I am in the process of buying a x16xe loom and ecu.

    Chris the egr is blanked and unplugged

    just for anybody who ever has the same problem i solved it!

    it was that i was running a early ECU with a late loom. the fault occured because the knock sensor wiring is slightly different from late to early ecu's i have now replaced it with a late ecu and all is well

    Did you upgrade the imobiliser as well then with it not being an early one?

    yeah mate one popped up on ebay local to me, so i bazzed there and wired it into my loom.

    However i will point out that to get it running i had to differ from the diagram.

    the blue/red signal wire from the transponder had to run to the blue/BLACK wire coming from the ecu! otherwise it would be immobilised
