Ive recently switched back from running a twin plenum set up to a single 72mm throttle, the twin was fine and it made good power over the single throttle but i never really got on with the pedal feel and throttle response.
Since swithching back to the single im having all kinds of running issues frown.

Last week i finished putting it back together..started it up..sounded great idling at 1000rpm nice solid AFR at 14..blip of the throttle picked up nicely again solid AFR..excellent i thought, i took it down the road and it was hesitating and trying to stall. I checked the throttle pot which i suspected was the cause as the wiring had been repaired also after a few suggestions on here tested it and yes it was missing on the track. So i brought a new throttle pot thinking it will be only a matter of plug and play smile it wasent frown

I now cant even get an idle above 600rpm without fully un screwing the throttle screw the fuellings at 11AFR if i build up the gas its spluttering all over the place?

Im using megasquirt btw (ive also reset the throttle position in the settings wink)


Can anyone throw me some ideas to whats going on.

Thanks

Most maps are pretty sensitive to the curve generated by the TPS, change it and the TPS curve changes - not just a linear line you can calibrate with 2 points, as most assume...

You've probably done thid and I'm not familiar with the MS set up, but with the Emerald before any set up work I go into the system to make sure the system recognises the throttle movement/TP so that it recognises the voltage track and then adjust the settings if needed to ensure it recognises a closed throttle and when fully open with a small margin for both.

Good point but wouldnt i still be able to get a fairly steady base idle considering the the butterflies closed? its also difficult to lean the fuel out at idle?

Im assuming it genuine, i brought it via ebay from a landrover specialist, it came in a land rover box.
The unit i brought is the round conector which i cut to join to the existing loom, i cant see this as being the problem paperbag
