Dead-battery Day?

[Exmantaa]

ECU all wired-up? HPTuners working on your PC? (Made a connection?) Some fresh petrol in the car? (that stuff must be a year old now...) Ssare charged battery maybe??

[The Batman]

Battery is charged Fuel is 6 months old and it's a full 48L worth! Ecu all wired up Hptuners isn't loaded on the laptop yet but i will thing it to work and sort that out tomorrow

[VXT Tim]

What's happening, i must have missed something. Car being mapped?

[Exmantaa]

6 month old stuff probably lost some umpfff, so better not go too banana's with that in your tank. Install the HPT and sort out the application key stuff. The scanner can then load the scanner config I mailed you and the editor should be able to load the licensed base map that I flashed into the ecu. (Although for this to fully work you may need to have a connection to the car first. Or maybe the module still remembers the parameters and ecu ID#. Just try it.)

HPtuners is now installed on the computer and all the drivers aswell! (installing the usb drivers was a REAL PAIN IN THE ARS!! personnaly i blame vista as i think the instructions where designed for oldschool windows...)

come on Joe want to see this

[The Batman]

im at work! sat in a plantroom with my laptop

[Nev]

Joe please be wary of that fuel. On my car, on top of terrible running it caused very high EGTs even at idle (and I was deffo running it rich).

[Rosssco]

Take it your modding the head Joe (cams, porting).? Would the standard Saab head / cams be too restrictive for the Harrop?

[The Batman]

Standard cams are crap and do nothing better than na cams bud Nev that's interesting, it was new in march! Will it be that bad?

[slindborg]

Yes, it will be naffed.

[Nev]

Nev that's interesting, it was new in march! Will it be that bad?

My fuel was 9 months old when I started the engine up, so maybe yours will be better. Just be wary, or simply siphon off the bulk of it and re-use it in small amounts in some other car.

When the hydrocarbon chains break down the flame wave changes and slows down. My cams also allow a lot of reversion < 1800 RPM, so this may have made matter worse for me, if you are on standard cams you may be fine. All in all though it's not much effort to siphon the bulk of it out (and then put it in another car so it doesn't go to waste.)
