Dicktator issues

Post by GtiTuned »

Done a new installtion. Properly done is an understatement. (evrythn new)
Car is mapped and running perfectly fine.

then all of a sudden the car dies. when it doesnt wana start the dicktator is powered (red light on), but the other two lights are off (green and yellow), and fuel pump primes still.
After one or two minutes pause, the other two lights come back on (yellow and green)the car fires up again, n behaves normal.

then wheter hot or cold it just dies intermittantly. above symptoms. then starts again. changed and fitted new bosch relay (from dicktator to f pump) thinkn mayb the new relay frm dicktator b faulty.

did a test whilst idling, it does the same thing. :crazy:
nevr missd a beat whilst on the dyno??
Is ther something im missing? like a faulty sensor (temp, map sens in box) a failsafe mechanism in the software?

Im suspecting the mangement box is faulty, altho it is a week old?? so gona load a map on another box and try tommorw.
Just thought id share my experiences, just to see if anyone else had similar issues..

Btw, is a dicktator std, dizzy pickup, map sensor, and car is golf 16vturbo.

Whats the condition of the tp100 module ? or could be the coil. The yellow and green light should only flash when you crank the motor.

Maranou once wrote that Dicktator ECUs like to fry tp100s. Hope you come right.

I suspect its the module. Check the earth as well, from tp100 module pin 2 to earth on the body.

I suggest you contact dicktator themselves and see if they can test the unit for you.
