dastek piggyback ecu discussion......

[dontliftdrift]

ok im having a debate with my mate,who owns a 106 s2 rallye,he unplugged his battery for whatever reason...now with it connected back up the car wont go over 3k revs...it also backfires like a gun shot,he said when you disconnect battery it resets the ecu....surely this isnt true?i think the car's a car shed in all honesty....110k miles...spark plugs blacker than black....and now this coughing like it has swine flu lol

what's your thought's on this?

[DAFTJOHN]

Is it non STD EUC then...it may do it in his car but shouldn't

[Will F]

On the early Vauxhalls you could reset fault codes on the ECU if you diconnected the battery - but not the overall map!!

Sounds like the pug is just unwell.

[wwmnw]

Its a Rallye, my mate has an S2 and its rustier than my Nova and currently off the road due to massive holes in the floor lollol

[L14MNP]

...but they handle awesome out of the box.

DLD, can your mate not service his S2 and flash the codes? Poor thing sounds like it deserves a better owner!

[let_nova]

it has pugflu the only solution is to scrap it.

If its in safe mode surely it wouldnt back fire and stuff though??:confused:

[Ben]

probably would with the piggyback as will be overfueling like a slag.

Safe mode tends to richen up the mixture and back off the ignition to prevent det or meltage, so yes, it would backfire like a whore if the engine's not standard.

well tell a lie, the hardware is a fairly good concept and gives some scope for tuning. BUT its the whole setup that is behind them ie locked software to put people off using it etc.
