fuel cut defencer
What is a fuel cut defencer?
And why would no thermostat make an engine die? I could see where it would adversely effect performance by never allowing the engine to warm up completely and causing the ECU to run in warm-up mode…but how could it kill it?
Wow if the motor is gone that sucks. You only had alittle bit of time to play with it. Good luck though.
Damn Dan, what did I tell you.
“Fuel cut” is a safety feature that is intended to protect your motor from too much turbo boost. The factory ECU keeps track of the pressure inside the intake manifold, and if that pressure goes above a certain level (around 18-19 psi on most cars), the ECU will turn off the fuel injectors. It’s just like shutting off the motor momentarily.
A “fuel cut defenser” or “FCD” is a device that overrides this saftey feature and will let you either raise the limit that fuel cut is set, or will eliminate fuel cut altogether.
