Have you checked the white plug in the engine bay fuse box it tucked in the bottom and has a few plugs build in it and is the blue section very common for water and green gremlins to get in there

David is right it only connected to a switch if you Clio has cruise control if not tuck it out the way

That the plug for the clutch switch just above the peddle

i got the same message gutted

really why is there so many done wrong ? checking it is easy just remove the caps and put the crank pin it hand crank the engine to the stop and put the tool in the end

They have been used on 3 different engines and one of them dyno at 181 hp and none of them had this problem

yer thats the one and the crank pin no around the 30-32 mpg but still smells fuelly on idle and in the oil

right when to my mates today and checked the timing it is spot on. Then we checked the compression and his gage reads 192-195 on all cylinders which is good but means my gage must be wrong. So the problem still exists of the low power and other problems. It like its over fuelling my mate also...

If I got the tool how would I change the timing ? Is the a guide ?

i also for got to mention that all 4 cylinders have a compression of 130 which is low

he said he head the tools thats why i got him to do it is there any way to check the timing me self with out the tools ?

A mechanic i know which my family has know for years has a good representation as well but it seams strange

Had my timing belt done a little while back and has been low on power. Symptoms i have pops a bit when cold letting off throttle low power smell a bit fuelly and obd say the ignition timing at idle around 12.5-16 when hot dont know if this is right also the oil smells fuelly lumpy idle...

Ok thanks still looking is it under the seat its self or under the carpet as it is painted red so was thinking it would be closer to the body work
