Aston Martin Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 52 minutes ago, New POD said: Were I to win the lottery (which I don't do) I would buy this however I would invest in a spare fuel pump and reinstate the Traction control. I quote: The new engine is the 4.6 litre V8 pre-fitted from the factory with a Roush Supercharger, larger throttle body etc.The Traction Control has been permanently disabled (a recommended mod for any supercharged 260 to avoid killing the fuel pump)... I'm no engineer, but how the fuck are they related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 44 minutes ago, Aston Martin said: I'm no engineer, but how the fuck are they related? Perhaps the traction control is a bit too eager, thus cutting the power rather suddenly and regularly. This, I suppose, could affect the fuel pump as the engine suddenly goes from wanting lots of fuel to wanting no fuel on a regular basis. Especially with more power than standard causing this to happen more often. I'm no engineer either, though. Aston Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agila Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 46 minutes ago, Aston Martin said: I'm no engineer, but how the fuck are they related? Only thing I can think of is the fuel is stopped or reduced to help the traction and that causes the fuel pump to run dry causing failure.???

It wasn't as nice as that 2300 and it went for 3 grand. The straight sixes are fine but combined with the auto they're not the greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 3 hours ago, Aston Martin said: I'm no engineer, but how the fuck are they related? No idea. I assume, that they think that the Traction control, would not only apply brakes to the spinning wheel, but also cut fuel to the Engine. Which isn't how these things work. In most cars, the fuel pump, pumps at a constant pressure and flow rate, and if the injectors don't need all that fuel, (ie 99.99999% of the time), it returns via the fuel return line. If you wanted to control the Engine, as part of the Traction control, you'd just reduce the duration the injectors are open and not provide a spark. Conclusion? It's ballocks. Which would be fine if you were buying a £150 rover 75 With head gasket failure, but absolutely would raise alarm bells if spending £15000 on something that is a one off, with an owner that talks out of his arse.

If you provide fuel but cut the spark then fuel accumulates in the cylinder and gives det/pre-ignition when the spark fires back-up. If you cut the fuel then there's nothing to ignite.
