[quote][i]Originally posted by Patrick[/i] [color=Navy]You might remember me saying that my car has been running really badly lately and overfueling by alot too. Well I had my car in for a full service and a rolling road tune up yesterday, went to pick it up and on the way home it was doing all the things it was doing before. i.e. idling at 3,000rpm, catching on the way back down the revs. Exhaust sounding like a helicopter and going bang after each gearchange. The technician said the car was running rich at high revs so he adjusted the adjustable fuel rate regulator and when it went on the power run it had lost alot of power since the last run! Regal had it rr'd at 170bhp, a local garage had it bosch rr'd at 171bhp but yesterday at Sanspeed it was coming up with 160bhp @ 7,000rpm. It feels alot slower too. I am so angry with them and it looks like my fears have come true! When he was fiddling with things he'd obviously fu[/b]cked it all up and lost me a considerable ammount of power. Funnily enough though, even though power was down by more then 10bhp torque went up from 124 ib/ft to 130ib/ft. Can't understand it at all? What makes it even worse is that it's doing all the things still that made me take it to them in the first place. He said he had sorted the overfuelling issue out buts its backfiring worse than ever now and I thought the only thing that causes that is overfueling? He wanted me to bring it in again today so he could run it on the rolling road again and have another look at it, was full of apologies but I couldn't bring it in as I had to be in work early. Now it's got to be either tomorrow morning or wait till next week! :( **Awaiting all the narrow minded criticism** :rolleyes: [/color] [/quote]
