    Lumpy Idle....coil pack?

    I thought so too! Please don't be another injector as it is such a pain. Hmm...may change the coil pack anyway to see. But these symptoms are different to what I have had before so I thinking was I fixed that and something else has cropped up

    Lumpy Idle....coil pack?

    I know that, that is what happened before when I had to change the injector. But I thought the lumpy idle was coil pack, but why would the EML start flashing if the coil pack is dodgey? Car was left idling for a bout 5 mins before the EML started to flash I checked all the connections to the...

    Lumpy Idle....coil pack?

    After replacing the injector the other week sometimes there is a bit of a lumpy idle when cold. Doesn't do it all the time, think its done it about twice since replacing the injector. Idles at just under 1k and it bounces around a little, like an RS2000 does. Then the EML started to flash after...

    Any news on what track time slots for those who chose the early/late session?

    Clio not starting- fuel cut off switch

    Mine had issues with not firing recently, sounds identical to what you had - turns over fine and it just wasnt firing/getting any fuel. Then after about 20seconds of turning over, left for 5mins it would start up fine. Didn't matter if the car was left for a week or a few hours, but didn't do it...

    Stu's Sunflower Ph1 172.

    This makes me scared to look under mine....... But mega respect for the dedicated rebuild :up::up:

    Alloy wheel refurb Tips?

    I painted mine myself. They were pretty good. I made sure they were clean, sanded back, filler primer, primer, paint then lacquer. The only advise I can suggest is make sure there is lots of paint on them - not in one go!!! But trying to paint the insides of the spokes (I have F1's) was...

    Kit's Ph1 172

    r****d moment.....injector wasn't actually connected. Not sure how it happened. Simple fix!!! New exhaust is pretty damn fine. Custom made job. Centre silencer, decat and a single tip. Top notch! It's about 90dB at 4500rpm so will pass noise limits with ease. And the noise it makes is bang on...

    Kit's Ph1 172

    It's the same symptoms as before so I am pretty certain injector, and isn't flashing EML injector? But the EML doesn't stay on like it did. It flashes for a while and then stops for a bit before flashing again. Before it flashed for a while and then went constant on, then back to flashing...

    Kit's Ph1 172

    Tell me about it!! Hoping it's a simple fix, like a loose connection and not another new injector. I also have limited time to fix it as I am busy next two weekends and then it's track time at Combe! May have to take a day off work

    Kit's Ph1 172

    So.....4 cylinders are over rated, it's all about running 3. Yes, the car decided to be a 3 cylinder again today. I gave it a bit of a push joining the M5, got to about 6k and it hesitated and then decided to be a 3 cylinder. I thought it was the rev limiter, but I got confused as I was nowhere...
  13. KitsonRis

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Turned the car back into a 3 cylinder. I hear running fewer cylinders helps emissions........ So this afternoons job is to fix it. I thought it was solved the other week when I replaced an injector

    Exhaust- Standard vs Stainless???

    Getting a full custom made stainless system made and fitted tomorrow. Not a bad price and a lifetime warranty so I am hoping it will last! I am not after power, just the noise.

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Took this a few years back with my Lomography Fisheye (I can sense some hate for this coming my way as it's not a proper camera!). Clock tower at University of Birmingham. I also have a ring flash for it which gets some crazy lighting. All my friends hate that camera as you have to get real...

    Price point - Trophy content

    I have seen a few ranging from £12-25k depending on condition/mileage etc. But for +£15k I'd rather spend a bit more and get something a little more exotic

    Id rather buy a V6 for that kind of money.

    The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

    15 cars at Combe sounds brilliant! I've only ever done it on Action Days where they put the entire paddock out in a session so it's carnage! How much was it for 15 people? As I could be tempted to sort a day out there as I really want to drive it properly without the worry of a horrendous crash...

    ARB's and strut braces

    PMS all the way. I have the 22mm RARB and it's a serious bit of kit. I only have this as it was being sold second but un-used at a lesser price of the Whiteline new at the time I was going to purchase one. But fitting it I would say it is worth the extra money. I also have their solid top...

    The PH1 172 Appreciation Thread.

    No hate from me, Ph1's should be used!!! Mine was initially a cheap bit of fun for the track, for 6 months it was completely standard. It's only since September I have done loads to it to get it to a proper track toy. And is that Combe you were at?

    sburrell's ph1 172 track project (maybe)

    I've kept a running total of what I have spent this winter on it......it will be three times what I bought the car when I get the new exhaust fitted next week. But like your thinking of not being able to track a house!! :up:

    Top Mount Covers

    I think the ones in the link push on to the rubber bits, but there isn't anything to push over with the solid top mounts

    Top Mount Covers

    Looking at getting these to stop the crud getting into my nice shiney PMS top mounts. Asked the seller, who makes them, if they will fit but he is not sure. Anyone know if they will, or know of any top mount cover that will fit...

    Car stuggling to start up - won't fire/spark

    It hasn't done it for a few weeks, even after being left standing for a week. I also had to change the injector recently, not sure if that is related. But when I was diagnosing this I unplaugged the crank sensor and gave that a clean up, although it wasn't really dirty. So in a way no! I haven't...

    Build a PC (Desktop)... £450-£500 Challenge.

    I have used Scan Computers for the last two computers I have had, highly reccoend them. My current one sounds a little like what you are after and I paid £360 for it. I have the V5i on this page, but the V10i has more RAM. https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/value/valuedesktops/form-factors#anc If you...

    Kit's Ph1 172

    Back to 4 cylinder!!! Injector 1 was faulty, so I replaced that. Fuel rail out....eventually! Ready for a bit of a clean New injector ready to go in. I know I should have chanegd all 4 I think, mainly as a precuation kind of thing. Glad it is working now. About to purchase Castle...

    Running on 3 cylinders and blowing exhaust - linked?

    Sorted. Injector 1 was swapped over and now it runs like it should. I knew I should have done all 4, but funds have been tight this month, any other month I would! Thanks to @Duk for your link and the guide you found to do an injector change.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Currently fighting with the injector rail to get it back in. Hands have gone numb from the cold. Didn't realise how much of a tight fit small O-rings can make! Hopefully after this it will be a 4 cylinder again.

    Running on 3 cylinders and blowing exhaust - linked?

    Just been told that it has a P0201 error code, so cylinder 1 isn't working. My brother said he removed the injector plug from it and it made no difference. Did the same to injector 4 (the only one he said he could get to without removing the rail guard) and it got worse. Injector 1 in the one...
