US Gear D-Celerator E brake problems
Need ideas or suggestions before I call US Gear on Monday:
Just installed US Gear D-Celerator last week. First problem was it did not work at all. This was solved with call to US Gear and a new control module sent! The new module appeared to be the fix. Everything worked in the driveway and on a solo run around town and in the country. (The D-Feat control for the accelerator pedal was fiddly to fine tune.) Put the fiver on for a weekend trip today and discovered the E Brake would come on and then immediately go off (Why?); tried a few times and same thing. Did not try again with E Brake. About 30 miles into trip, had severe loss of engine power after pulling through a town, noticed the EGT was 1100 so stopped on roadside, looked underneath and arm from solenoid to butterfly was hanging down. The quick release....had released. I think the butterfly was being blown shut with the exhaust, but I wonder if the wastegate was shut too? Wired the butterfly open and went home.
Anybody with experience with US Gear D-Celerator? Any ideas? Thanks for any input...(exceptions...don't say I should have bought BD, Banks, Jacobs etc. it is too late now, I have to climb out of this hole!!)
