hi guys, i've got the MOT in a week or so and the car was pumping a fair bit of smoke. However i've just fitted a fmic and most of the fuel seems to be burning now so im fairly happy with sending it in.
Only thing is ive had it gov modded and not confident trying to limit the govner or throttle arm. Any1 got any hints, what they did to get their xud through the MOT? Last thing i want is the engine running away.
cheers steve

screw down max fuel to the minimum, turn the idle up if it drops?

My car wouldn't rev past about 3500rpm for the MOT...
I stalled it 3 times pulling into the MOT centre... It had THAT little power it couldn't even pull itself up the slightest inclines.
The MOT tester even said "God that things gutless like that, you can turn it back up now..."

I know the Nissan Primastar Van won't for a start, also means that the renault traffic won't and the Vauxhall Vivario since they are all effectively the same van.........
Ah fair enough. Never seen that before. I know my skoda goes to the red line when I'm sitting still!

Quite a few cars with fly by wire throttle will only rev to say 3k then drop back down to idle if you press the brake and the throttle at the same time whilst sat still
