Ok Guys and Gals need your help, I had my car up at at MJP for a G'box swap (Thanks Maxsunny btw G'box in perfect order!) anyhow while it was there asked him to look at a strange smoking problem that I have (not tubbies) and he reckons it's overfueling as theres loads of black soot in the downpipes etc. Anyhow did a full Conzult and this showed a dodgy 02 sensor on the left we then looked at the fuel map and he said it looked very strange he called it Plateaued, as if it was a get you running map and no tweaking had been done to get it right. Anyhow obviously I want to get this sorted... I have a few mods HKS induction, high flow cats (on car when I got it) and Superdr…

just bought my first zed from a guy in scotland. over the moon, shes a uk twin turbo manual. when i took her for a test drive all was well and the car pulled really hard. on the long journey home wen i pulled up at traffic lights or roundabouts the car would splutter or misfire quite badly until the revs got up a bit. it seems to be worse if you accelerate from low speed in top gear. also there is a vibration through the car around 40mph but seems worse in 5th. this smooths out as the speed gets up and disapears at 60-70. the guy reckons he put a set of plugs in from the local auto discount, seems like plug beakdown at low revs?? wont know till i check them tommorrow. bee…

All the best. Have a good day. :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:
