[QUOTE="spux, post: 3555841, member: 60179"] Dear Sifus Hi, Ive been driving my [B]2001 SMT MR-S[/B] for 1/2 a year now and its been great joy! :smokin: Lately though, the MR-S had been acting weird: 1) Upon cold start, the car would [B]lose throttle response[/B] consistently. The problem is less prevalent if i warm up the car longer before driving off. The feeling of loosing throttle response is similar to hitting 180 km/h speed cut, just less dramatic and response does not return as instantly as speed cut does. Instead, it slowly recovers. It can happen at [B]whatever speed, in whatever gear and it doesnt have to involve changing of gear.[/B] 2) Ive taken the car to [B]GT auto, links, and Toms[/B] in bangsar and Sunway. None of them had ever encountered such problems before and Ive search all MR-S forums worldwide and did not find any troubleshoot similar to mine. 3) Eventually Toms in Sunway did a [U]diagnostic[/U] test and a [U]dyno[/U]: [U]Diagnostic test [/U]return [B]10 error codes[/B]. 3 belong to alphabet P and 7 belong to alphabet C. (sorry dont remember the codes) [U]Dyno [/U]return an on wheel [B]horsepower of 105.44 [/B]and [B]torque of 12.74 [/B]which is suppose to be slighly low for an all stock car. [U]Air/Fuel [/U]mixture is at [B]15 constant from 2000 rpm - 7000 rpm[/B]. Which basically means its [B]way too lean and too linear [/B]all the way to red line. 4) Toms advice for a change of 2 [U]lambda (o2) sensors[/U], [U]air flow sensor[/U], [U]fuel filter and fuel pump[/U]. (altogether costing RM2000) to solve fuel delivery issues and ive [U]changed [/U]it. 5) After changing, the car feels [B]GREAT[/B]!!!! on wheel [B]HP is now 109.95 [/B]instead of 105.44 [B]Torque is now 13.82 [/B]instead of 12.74 [U]Air/Fuel [/U]mixture is now at [B]15 @ 2000 rpm and at 6000 rpm it drops to 10[/B], instead of 15 all the way through. 6) NKVE im cruising at 175 km/h easy with half throttle :biggrin: 7) before reaching home, [B]problem came back [/B]and now NKVE cruising at 160 km/h and pushing. :hmmmm: Sorry for the long post, hope you had the patience to read. Thanx for any advice in advance. Cheers guys [/QUOTE]
