Another fricken fuel cut question

Featured Replies

Today I was toyin around with the sub and experienced the joy of the fuel cut. All I have to say is holy **** that is crazy. The whole car feels like it's going into shutdown mode. So I got to thinking that instead of building a circut to fix this problem, why not just swap an 86 Turbo ECU in? I don't know if this would do anything, but I thought i'd put it out there.

The 86 uses many different parts, the main ones being the MAF and the distributer

The wiring harness is different and many sensors would need swapped.

 

There is hope of an electronic signal clamp for the hot wire fuel cut in the works

What about a MAFS swap?

Sorry Jmoney, I do not know the difference between a MAF and a MAFS

Mass Air Flow sensor and Mass Air flow Sensor??

As I said the MAF or MAFS are different, one being a Hot wire the other being a vane or flapper door type, the output signals and control voltages are vastly different.

There is a guy in Brazil working on a swap, if you want to try, I'll forward his email to you.

I was thinking that swapping the hot wire for the vane would be the best bet for eliminating fuel cut.

J, I'm sorry I think you miss the point here. The fuel cut is the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or brain's way of protecting the engine.

The MAF is just sending it information and as I said, well read what you quoted
