Slight loss of power?
Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 7:47 pm
Hi guys,
Since I remapped my car back to its original state, it *seems* to be down on power compared to pre-remap. Now, I know that it's probably just my imagination because I know what it's like when remapped
, but I can't help but feel that it was better before.
Anyway, this weekend I've done a full service with all filters replaced (air filter was filthy!) and oil changed. I've also sprayed my MAF with a brake cleaner in hope that a) it helped and b) it didn't destroy that MAF! It didn't seem to be as shiny as it was before I sprayed it....
The service certainly made the engine a bit quieter and I've also stuffed some injector cleaner inside. And I've disconnected the vacuum pipe from the EGR and blocked it with a screw. In a way it seems better but it could be a placebo effect. In fact the whole thing could be a placebo effect 
I've also replaced a COM2000 stalk and gotten rid of many rattles in the steering column!
What a busy weekend....
Any ideas?
