If your running those mods and that amount of boost without the car being mapped then you've got bigger problems than just the MAF sensor mate.

My advice, get the car into a company who actually know what they are doing. It sounds like it wants a new MAF and a mapping session.

i see where your coming but jgm put the standard ecu in then test drove it and said it was fine, but im having a front mount put on soon and a remap so hopefully it will all be sorted out, is that a lot of mods then for a standard ecu? i dont really drive it hard at all so will it be safe to drive or not i dont want to damage my engine in anyway i just thought when simon checked it out then that would be it i only put the new centre section on last week en they said it wont need remappin for that but bein a newbee im still learning

Hang on...
Simon (JGM) has looked over your car, seen all the mods and knew it was on a standard unmapped ecu and then sent you on your way ??

Are you sure ?

What model is it ??

i was told not to run mods on mine without mapping the car. its been mapped my andrew carr in the past and i've just got a vf28 to go on it so it will go back to him once fitted for a twiddle. i've had to buy a new maf since I got the car but i'm lucky to have a few friends off the Legacy forum who have helped me out. Hope you havent thrown your ecu away coz its worth a lot coz its got the ecutek thing on it.

well simon tried to but he couldnt get his system to connect to my map thats why he put me a new one in they tried different systems on it en it just wouldnt talk to them to find out the problem with it apperently my old map was making my car run to lean to much fuel getting in or summit thats why i had the problem starting up in the mornings from cold

my car was seriously fast with the old map in mate but not its just runnin slightly under 1 bar

AJ_Rimmer

sounds like you've got some serious problems there. if it was mapped previously then SOMEONE has managed to access the ecu and on a 99 Sti you can only do ecutek unless there was a simtek or apexi in there.

If someone tries to remap a stock ecu you're looking at £550 straight away for a new license and mapping time.

iv still got the ecu if i could get someone to tweak it id have it put back in mate my seriously moved with it on but it dont say ecutek on it or owt mate say my car is an sti on the old ecu it said my99 wrx

brayden100

i hope iv not got problems mate iv just done the test on it where the engine light flashes and its the maf sensor so hopefully thats all it will be but im having a new map on it soon as im havin a front mounted intercooler so im looking to spent round 800 on a map

Book the car in with a specialist.

Speculating and throwing names/ideas/advice on here is pointless.
Your car has some problems that need sorting. Bite the bullet, pay the money and get your car sorted by someone who knows them well.

£800 on a map, wtf?

brayden100

hi mate bekky from carnetix looked at my car and test drove it on the old map said it was fine apart from running a little rich she tried to connect her system to it and my car wouldnt connect to find out what the problems was so she said jgm will try and tweek the map thats all it needed but when jgm had a look he couldnt do anything so thats when they put me a new standard ecu in

brayden100

thats just the money ill have for a map im not sure how much they are thats why i said 800 iv seen a ecutec for 550 so hopefully when iv had my front mount done and a proper remap then everything will be sorted
