EF Histall and Limp Home Mode

DUMTEF · 01-09-2005, 11:49 AM

Hey guys,

i know this has probably been asked before but i cant find anything about it, i rang jim mock this morning and asked them about my car going into limp home mode if i was to install a histall, and was told that on a ef it wont occur. and also the automatic joint up the road from me said he had never heard of it occruing on a ef.

does anybody know anything about this.

cheers adam

Yeh ive seen one in an EF... it was a 2500 stally and would constantly go into limp home, could never get the solution so the guy went to a manual. I suspect dodgy install or something was going on but it had the mechanic at his wits ends, went awesome when it worked though! :P

that sucks cause im looking at maybe going 2800rpm, but i also rang chiptorque and was told that there is something that lachlan can change to solve it.

what about disconnecting the wires in the loom that report the status of the box/controller unit and putting those resistors in like you do with a manual conversion?

DUMTEF · 01-09-2005, 01:37 PM

wouldnt they be the same wires that control the box, correct me if im wrong as i dont know a great deal about this stuff

been running a JMM highstall in my car for a couple of months and only under extreme dragging at heathcote that it went into limp home mode, oil overheated basically

laminge, what car are you running this in, and what stall speed?

Laminge · 01-09-2005, 01:44 PM

sorry

Au6., and its the JMM 3000 i believe.

Did you chat to Brendan or Jim?

Aaron has a TCE 2500 converter which stalls up at 2800rpm and flashes over 3000 and he hasnt had any problems yet. However the same stall cause limp home in an EDXR8....Could have something to do with the vortech pushing the stall over 4000rpm

DUMTEF · 01-09-2005, 02:08 PM

when i rang jmm i spoke to brendan. and yeah he said id only run into problems if it was going to like 4000rpm

Our transmissions are safe with a flash stall of around 2500 rpm with lockup on the street .With more torque the flash stall speed will be higher.If you plan on going higher expect to use heaps more fuel and get more slippage of the stall.

a mate has a hi stall in his eb and he's running a turbo and his use to go into limp home mode but he fixed it buy putting a EL ecu in it ,he said ford told him that they wont go into limp home mode and far far it's worked ,so yeah maybe try a EL ecu instead

yeah i put an el comp into my eb, i know its different as your ef has coil pack so you would need and aftermarket fuel/ign computer.
i also tried putting two resistors in to replace signal from temp sensor and it didnt work.
keep in mind i have 2 oil coolers and twin thermo fans on them aswell.

good luck

You can't use a EL ECU in a EF.

thanks for the help guys, i think ill just get the 2800 stall and if i run into problems i will get chiptorque to have a play with the chip. then time to save for 3.7's
