As described.
On tick over speed six Tamora pops from right hand side exhaust pipe. Regularly.
Any ideas so I don’t blow it up.
Thanks.

ETA whilst driving it on the power and overrun it feels fine so if it’s misfiring it might have even more power I’d like to find. smile

Is it on a std. ECU mapping or bespoke ? Has it got cats or not ? Who services it ? What fuel are you using ?
LucyP says it's about to blow up and needs a rebuild smile
Super unleaded and I have not got its history.
Don’t know where ecu is and at the moment assume it’s on a standard set up. Is that Mbe.

It sounds like it’s mis firing or fuel in the exhaust igniting.
but responds to throttle eagerly and sounds great otherwise.
Does it have one or two lambda fitted.

Do you need certain hardware and software to read fault codes or can you do it all from the buttons behind steering wheel. An anyone link me to those sequences please.

My Chim is on MBE fitted and set up by Dom and Jay so I know they do a great job.

Thanks for the pointers.

Nothings easy is it biggrin

I’ll take all this information and discuss it with the mechanics at work as they are the ones that really need to know although it would be nice to help set up the throttle bodies wink
I think they’ll find the advice on here indispensable.

How would I check for wear in the throttle body bushes. Is it obvious and would gently manipulating the linkages show loose or free play in those bushes or is it a more subtle affair.

It’s very exciting getting my hands on this speed six powered Tvr.
I’m still stoked every driver of the general public who came to drive it totally fell for it. That’s actually very rare.
What a car smile

You need to connect the car, which requires an weird-plug-to-USB-connection. Further details under the link above.
Thanks for the link.
