Fiesta ST Cobb Accessport Launch Control

[Kip2MyLou]

Oh okay. That makes more sense. Either way, it's much better. And they since then said they will keep the stock settings, thank god.

So its for eliminating as much wheel spin during shifting as possible ?

Only at Launch once you hit the MPH/KPH limiter in the Tune it is back to normal untill you hit the FFS limits (FFS=Flat Foot Shifting about 5k rpm)

Got my oil changed today. Just got done re-downloading the 'Stage 2 93 v103' map to my Accessport and reflashing my ECU... Launch Control works!!! Holy crap it's awesome too! Can't wait to get my COBB rear motor mount in the mail tomorrow to make Launch Control that much more awesome! Thanks for all the help, guys! Not sure why Launch Control wasn't working before, but it sure as hell is now!

Happy Face for you!

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Damn, I really need to learn this LC stuff. I still can't get mine to work on my v103 tune.

I might just reflash it with the v104 tune, and see if that works.

 

[iso100]

Yes. You need 104.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Cool, I'll do that tonight then. What's the exact process to do it?

 

[iso100]

Just plug the AP into your computer and let it search for the updates. Verify that it grabbed 104 and copy the applicable maps to the AP. Then plug into your car and switch maps.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Oh no. I know how to do that part. Haha. I mean the launch control steps.

 

[iso100]

Haha. Just hold down the center button on the right side of the steering wheel. Then mash the gas all the way to the floor. It must be 90% throttle or more. RPMs should go up and settle at 4000. Let out the clutch and release the button once fully engaged.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Awesome! Thank you. I'll try that tonight after I switch maps.

 

[iso100]

Good luck!

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Just got back from testing it on top of my parking garage and it worked! I think I wasn't fully engaging the throttle. I definitely was worried the first couple of times doing it and I think that made it worst, because then it would rev to damn near redline. Ha. But then I just went for it and put my foot the whole way down and it stopped at 4k, then I held on. Nothing like leaving a good strip of tire marks to brighten your day.

Im having trouble with mine on the V104 map not working. Im guessing im not "going for it" with a hard peddle mash.

 

[iso100]

Flat foot shifting doesn't seem to be working for me either on 104. Odd.

 

[re-rx7]

me either

Make sure you are in gear and completely stopped when disabling the TCS. That or not fully engaging the pedal or button can cause it to not work properly.

Try clutching-in a bit slower to see if that helps.

I wasnt pushing the acclerator hard enough. All is good.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Does anybody else's launch control, when engaged at 4k, have the engine almost sputter? For a lack of a better term. It says at 4k but it isn't a smooth hold. It isn't over raving or anything like that. Is that just normal?
