A bad night for the scoob...
Out in my RB5 tonight! had a date with an 18 year old and everythings going well when i got baited by a tvr so thought i'd have a little play after the remap. By no means racing before i get flamed not a chance was i taking any risks with this stunning girl onboard. On full boost then i thought i hit fuel cut but it wasnt. No throttle response, car completely dead and coasting. So restarted check engine light is on and running rough as a dog. Looks like my wallet just got a little bit lighter was hoping not to spend over 1500 this month but looks like thats out the window. Anyone experienced anything like this or any ideas..
Regards

Just pray it's a bad connection and a connector has pulled loose...wobbly engine mounts under hard gear shifts. My MAF connector came loose three times that way (tag on the connector was a bit dodgy - another shout to the heavy handed to scoob mechanic).
If it's a classic shape, check the fault codes by fiddling with the two wires under the dash (forgot which one is which - search ECU codes/reset)

The other reads current faults without a reset.
Which colour is which for the latter two is what I can never remember. And it is the latter two that should be used to read fault code, before clearing them.
