Fiesta ST Cobb Accessport Launch Control

[tim0thy1]

I'm gonna' take the car to the dealership on Monday for an oil change. I'll delete the tune before doing so. After the oil change, I'll reinstall the tune. Maybe it will work after a reinstall...

 

[MoltenFiST]

Yes, Yes, Yes. I've done all that. Still no launch control.

You have to be sitting still, have the clutch in, and car in gear. Give it 10 seconds, hold the cruise control 'on', and put the gas to the floor.

Not sure why te v103 map's LC isn't working for you.

 

[tim0thy1]

Yep, I've done all that. Car in gear, foot on clutch, push and hold in on cruise control 'On' button and press gas pedal to the floor... Car just revs to the rev limiter, not 4k. I'll reflash it after my oil change on Monday. Hopefully that does the trick. Can't explain why it isn't working though. :-/

Got my oil changed today. Just got done re-downloading the 'Stage 2 93 v103' map to my Accessport and reflashing my ECU... Launch Control works!!! Holy crap it's awesome too! Can't wait to get my COBB rear motor mount in the mail tomorrow to make Launch Control that much more awesome! Thanks for all the help, guys! Not sure why Launch Control wasn't working before, but it sure as hell is now!

Still can't get mine to work and I reflashed maps and tried I am currently running stage 3 v103ptm

Mine isn't working either. I reinstalled it also. Also working off Stage 1 93 v103

When the v103 tune was installed, did the performance seem a little lack-luster until the ecu relearned? Or, was it immediately felt? I just installed the AP, for the first time, and it seems to have lost some "uumph".

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Mine was instant performance, especially in 1st and 2nd and pulling on the highway in 6th. Only time I've felt a performance "drop" from the AP was the v101 maps. They just didn't seems as potent as the other ones. V103 though, with the shift assist change, is amazing. No complaints here at all.

yes, it was lack-luster, missing that ummph and immediate. the new file Braden posted "with shift assist" brought back the lively-ness.

 

[CivicAssassin]

The posted map is what I installed. Just didn't seem like it picked up as hard as it did, this morning, before the AP was installed.

 

[koozy]

that's weird, it was the other way around for me.

Make sure you're stopped completely. Push and hold the ESC button until the center display indicates that it's completely turned off.

 

[CivicAssassin]

Does the ESC have to be turned off, for the LC to work? Could explain a lot of the issues.

Make sure you're stopped completely. Push and hold the ESC button until the center display indicates that it's completely turned off.

DO you need to be Stopped ? I have been datalogging and found I forgot to fully turn off ESC and did it while on the roll.. I'll try it again today to make sure .. hmmmm

 

[iso100]

Under 9mph for LC but to turn off ESC I think you must be completely stopped.

 

[tim0thy1]

This is what works for me:
From a complete stop, while the car is in gear, place your FiST in 'Sport Mode' by pressing the 'ESC' button. This will partially turn off your Traction Control (TC). TC does not need to be turned fully off when using Launch Control (LC). Once you've placed your FiST in 'Sport Mode', push and hold down on your Cruise Control (CC) 'On' button. While pressing down on the CC 'On' button, press and hold your gas pedal to the floor like you mean it. Your FiST will rev to 4k RPM. While holding in on the gas, simultaneously release the CC 'On' button and the clutch. Then hold on to your butt! Be prepared for a quick shift!

 

[Kip2MyLou]

I'll have to try this. I didn't know you had to be in sport mode to engage launch control. Makes sense though.

 

[tim0thy1]

Also, investing in COBB's Rear Motor Mount wouldn't be a bad idea either.

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Oh I'm just waiting to get my next paycheck and I'll be ordering that, for sure! After that current map shift assist change the shifts have been amazing, so I can't imagine how the RMM is going to feel.
