Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Ok will try that out, now Im kinda getting why the ABS shouldnt work, because ABS and TCS rely on the same wheel sensors n I've broken that circuit by pulling the TCS fuse? Best be I remove that TCS butterfly and put that fuse back in

They literally have the same ECU as mentioned above.

I'd be checking ABS, mainly cause TC was your issue, and you didn't have (either!) TC light on. So maybe your ABS light is also mysteriously on.

Would have been interesting to see if this whole thread would have happened if the light bulbs were in the dash to begin with, hehe.

Leave the sensors and stuff connected, just remove the plate. When when you can confirm everything is working right, everything is where you need it to be, and you know what's going on with it all... then pull the light out :P

With all this talk of ABS, when I think of it there have been numerous instances during on/startup when all the lights go on, my ABS light takes 1-2,3 seconds longer to go out than the others. TCS/SLIP/HICAS lights never been on at all.

And weird that pulling fuse out doesnt trigger engine light, how would someone know if their fuse is blown n systems not working?

Does anyone know if its possible to just pull off the J Pipe (one that houses the stock BOV) and remove the TCS butterfly with the throttlebody still bolted on? I cant even see the bottom 2 throttlebody bolts with that ugly TCS motor in the way lol

Don't think you could. But you might as well try.

An extension and a socket gets the bottom 2 throttle body bolts very easily.

Took the f$$ker off and the TCS fuse back in- easy 30min job, no need to take off throttle body, just unscrew TCS butterfly from the front after taking off that annoying J pipe. So no TCS butterfly interrupting my performance now due to faulty TCS ECU/wheel sensor? and ABS system now re-enabled with the fuse back in.

The TCS butterfly centre stem has a slot through its middle as you can see, will this impact performance?

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
