T8mmo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just sent my st focus in for an ecu remap and since I've got it back its been alot quicker at first but now after a couple of days its bit sluggish and been hit and miss with the power. Any ideas on what's wrong or shall I get hold of the garage again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 i would get hold of the garage , somethings going a miss by the sounds of it and its best to get them to sort it rather than search for the problem yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal. Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 How old is your ST and what remap did you have? If it's an uprated remap like bluefin / dreamscience etc and the boost pressure has been increased, then I'd bet it's your solenoid boost valve is failing with the increased pressure. Have you noticed it only boosts to 1/4 of the gauge for instance when it feels sluggish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8mmo Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's an 07. It was a bluefin remap. Yes the gauge isn't going the full way round when it's performing poorly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8mmo Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's sticking on 1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Boost solenoid valve then I'd guess - I had to get a new one when I Bluefin'd mine too. Standard Ford one is about £40 from Ford or a specialist: http://j-w-racing.co.uk/product.php/8096/3089/genuine_ford_boost_solenoid___ford_focus_st Or you could go for an uprated one for £80 ish: http://j-w-racing.co.uk/product.php/8236/3089/elevate_heavy_duty_boost_solenoid___ford_focus_st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy H Dibley Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Even though it is more than likely to be the above, best get in contact with the garage anyway just to preserve any warranty on the work you have as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
