read on another forum that the ecu blown up and it needed a new one and a loom  :undecided:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

yep thats right i was about ready for mot when , ive had a problem of not been able to rev the engine limiter past 4000rpm grrr , after basicly ripping removeing testing things , i found it was a ecu problem , so , a guy who was runing a similar ms unit sent me his msq , (me thinking it would cure the problem ) instead , total knackerd things up causeing the ecu to back feed from the 12v feed thew the ecu, and also wipeing my wideband controller out .grrrrr
 so it needs a new ecu . loom , and wideband/controller , lucky guys on the forium helped me out, and ive orderd another ecu ,loom and controller , so in the mine time , i went and borrowed my mates ecu (same set up ) and his has a similar problem , so after checking everything thew found the only problem was 3 parts for the ecu to make the crank trigger spark better and pull thew the engine range , as i was so pissed,,, if id have known this from the start id have never sent another file to the ecu ,,

i have my mates ecu on at mo and the  engine revs to 8000rpm without a problem ,
 so today i made and fitted a better boost pipe  , as the other was catching
, rear tyres fitted , so if i can sort the internal wideband fault ill be in the test station monday lol
other maybe a couple of weeks
