Just this afternoon Zed4life asked me how my zed was going and not wanting to tempt fate I said she's going great. Well that was a mistake wasn't it? But when I got home I thought run datascan to check temps now the UDP is fitted. All good in that department - running about 85 degrees on a 27 degree day. Then I casually clicked on 'Self Diagnosis" expecting code 55. But f#^* me dead, code 13 - for the last 31 starts!! I'm not an expert but while this won't trigger safety boost (yes?) it does retard timing and richen up the fuel right? And therefore reduce performance? Anyway, the tech section came to the rescue once again. I checked the resistance between the contacts on the fairly new CTP and got 0.35 kOhms at 82 degrees. CTS seemed ok? Then rechecked and retentioned the new female plug connectors. Reset the ECU and code 55 again. Anyway, back to my questions above - will a code 13 detected on start up cause the car to run in safety map (not boost) continually?
I think Code 13 puts you in safety boost too unless you have separate boost control. ECU also uses the input from this sensor to keep the car in safety boost while warming up to operating temperature
Jetpower, found the solution for your quest for more low down torque. Drove my friends 2005 Aston Martin DB9 a couple of weeks ago, and 6 litres of V12 power answers all of your torque questions. That cool
Way to go! Is there a tech article to transplant an Aston Martin v12 into a zed? I think my problem would then be too much torque. Pexzed - thanks for your advice. It sure feels like I'm now running a few extra pounds of boost with the code 13 gone
