Hi all, i have an odd one. I tried to have my D2 td5 remaped to stage one. Once done, took it for a run and caused fuel starvation and kangarooing all over the shop. Took it back and reset to factory. EGR has been switched off and running a little better than before. Now, when i rev about 3000revs either when driving or stationary, the 3 amigos pop up, when the revs die, they go. Has anyone ever seen this before and please help. Thank you

Hi, did the engine run well before that oddity started? First of all use a multimeter and watch the voltage across fuse F28 in situ and earth(interior fusebox))when the symptom occurs

It ran and still runs nice, if not better. I think EGR switch off worked with that. I will try voltage check on fuse F28. What am i looking for and what does F28 protect?
Thank you for getting back to me.

Thank you both for your feedback. Last night, I had a revelation. I was showing my friend the fault and the door was open with interior light on. When the 3 amigos popped up, the interior light went out. I know that the SLABS ECU is connected to the doors. Just wondering, could this be confirmation that the SLABS ECU either needs resetting or it on its way out and need replacing. What do you think? Thank you.

Mystery solved, i had an alternator fitted not long ago, a c@!p Napa and the regulator has gone, so as i rev it up high, it over volts to 18v. Thus, 3 amigos comes on. Waiting for mew alternator and get it fitted. Thank you all for you time and advice.

Click to expand...

That's why i said to measure the voltage albeit i expected a voltage drop not a spike
