How Long For R33 To Sort Itself Out After Goin Into Limp Mode

[datoecutter]

hi there

i recently had the fun of experiencing limp mode (wow they got the name right lol) after my AFM filled up with black crap soot etc after a backfire. Ive cleaned (properly with carb cleaner etc), full reset, and the car has been driven for hour or so to map new ones and it running much better but its taken a few drives and time to sort itself out, although i know its doin small tunes and adjustments as things change each time......however its not boostin much and is generally sluggish etc Its orib been about 2 half days since it has been reset So it is coming good but very slowly......

- am i better off going in for tune /dyno rather than waiting for computer to sort out

- does it look at differents maps after a while to choose best

thanks for your help

Sounds more like the backfire half-killed your AFM?

If I reset my ECU, the car runs pretty much exactly as it did before the reset. It'd mostly be listening for knock and adjusting timing based on the fuel you use and the temp it runs at.... it shouldn't run POORLY afterwards.. I wouldn't have thought?
