FFF / Syvecs misbehaviour
Discussion
I got my tuscan from RG last year (it has the FFF2 and syvecs) When i went to test drive it it had issues with rough idling and cutting out, but these were suggested to be a mapping issue and as promised were all sorted when I collected it.
Few weeks later and the issues were back, although I thought it was down to bad mapping and was going to get it remapped after having a few more miles on the engine. Anyway, after some more investigative work, the problems seem to tie in very well with symptoms of a failing cam position sensor although its only done a few thousand miles since the installation. Anyone else with a syvecs had similar problems, was it the sensor and if so how did you get it sorted out please?
cheers

Thanks, yes was going to plug it in and see what it was saying but didn't really know what I was looking for to prove or disprove anything so thanks that's a big help already.
Nope, no work done that involved removing the cam cover that could have caused it to shift / fail since I bought it.
thanks

hmmm - I was hoping that was going to be an easy fault proving but maybe not! Was showing 720 so suggests not the sensor then? At least the software downloaded easily and was happy to talk to the car!! Been meaning to do that for a while just to have a look at it...
I did get a screen grab but sadly don't have a synchronometer. Any other suggestions welcome otherwise she is down to RG next week anyway but thought no harm in trying to work out what was going on myself first

thanks Gents - I didn't have the car running too long as the space it lives in is fairly enclosed and didn't spend too long getting to know my way around the software for risk of gassing myself. Looking at screen grab again after reading the manuals a bit can see it is showing something yellow as an intermittent error in the device menu so I might take it for a drive round later this week to see what that is showing.
Could also be the throttle bodies as it did start a period of time after I got it (but only a month or so) and I would say has probably got worse with time in terms of likelihood of cutting out. I guess adjusting throttle bodies the sort of thing you need to get done each service if its time related and you arent in the habit of taking the bonnet off yourself on a regular basis?
thanks
