incase anyone was curious I filled 3/4 of tank with 100 octane and 1/4 with 91 since that's the highest rubbish we get here in Arizona and it must of cleaned out the system or something because it now runs like a champ even on straight 91.

thanks for this info. ill take a look into it since the two harness attachment points are just sitting on top of the trans rubbing against the coolant sensor

I don't see any MAP sensor anywhere so I don't think there is a MAP sensor on this sigma and its a dead plug they leave on the harness. found this info on another forum "The Focus MK2/MK2.5 with 1.4 and 1.6 Duratec (Sigma) engine do not have an Idle Air Control (IAC) valve or Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. The amount of air going into the engine is calculated by the PCM using a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor which is mounted at the intake manifold. This MAP sensor measures the air density. Combined with outside air temperature and engine RPM the PCM calculates the amount of air going into the engine. The idle control of this engine type is fully controlled by the PCM. The throtlle plate of the electronic throttle body can not fully close because it touches a springloaded adjustment screw. When idling the throttle plate is continuesly corrected by the electric throttle motor to obtain the correct RPM"

I was hoping it was the issue when i cam across the same post last night but I do not see anywhere for the life of me a module or plug for this to connect to

Hi John, I let the car sit for at least 10 mins that night It was also around 92* outside that night. I will be taking out tonight to drive at low speeds for a while before giving it full throttle to see if that helps.

Hi 11Biudlite, much appreciated on these links. I will definitely pick it up to have

Hi Croc, 1---looks like anything above 3k rpms 2---75-100% throttle 3---stutter is more accurate and thinking more of a fuel issue I did fill it with 100 octane last night so will take it out later today if weather permits to see if it makes a difference

Hi gents im looking to see if these two connectors are needed and if so where they plug into online shows green connector plugging into an ecu but don’t see ok ein my engine bay

Thanks again to both you and Greg. You gents have been very nice to work with.

Good day fellow members and hope all is well. I recently purchased a 2020 310R with 1300 miles and in very good condition from Rick & Greg at Time Machine Motorsports, very polite, professional & awesome guys to deal with. Everything looked/looks great on it but I haven't been able to drive it since it was delivered and finally got a chance to last night,,,,,but returned it back to the garage 2 miles later. At full throttle (does not matter which gear) it starts cutting off power as if your hitting the rev limiter and sputters/flutters like a turbo setup when an intercooler pipe comes loose. Being this is my actual first Caterham I wanted to see if any of you have had or heard of this issue. I was searching in the middle of the night last night and came across that an immobilizer or TPS can be the issue here. Was told to disconnect the battery and touch the leads together to clear any faults. We only have 91 octane here in Arizona so was thinking of adding 100 octane to it to clean it possibly Any info would be appreciated so I can experience the joy in this beauty Any local Phoenix area members feel free to chime in with a good service center in the area Cheers, Dino

well I guess its time I bring the SR27 back form the dead. looks like I need to find out where to register for the class here in the Chicago land area.

We are a new company here, we dont have millions to spend. We thought by taking a loss on the first couple of cars just to get the cars out on the road and get the name out. We did not want this to happen, but what would you do if youi realized that you were losing over 30K on a deal, we did and im sure half of you would do the same. Yes, it is not the right way to do business for a new company and we see that, but sometimes things happen and you have to make a wise choice.

We do not intend in selling the car 60k, i still believe that somewhere around the 40-45K area is reasonable. And yes that is true JohnCH, we returned the funds that we were sent. We never even touched the funds untill the deal would of complete. In returning the funds, the conversion rate against the american dollar was what caused the negative amount to be returned. As i said in the previous post, Jean will be getting his full amount back.

We did not keep the money, Shiva will get back the dollar amount that was lost in the conversion. We did send extra to cover the truck rental, the reason for stopping the deal was that looking at all the paper work that we were putting together for Shiva to have, we came across every receipt that we have on the SR27. I agree that we should of came accross this sooner but we did not. After realizing that at 30K Shiva was buying this car at a 58% discount, we stoped to think that this is to big of a hit to take. We appoloize for what we put Shiva through, but i would like to clear up that we do not take peoples money.

Trade it for the SR27?
