Disconnected it, made no difference, but didn't pop a fault code either?
its back to running bad again, the super unleaded trick wasn't so super, although I reckon using normal octane supermarket fuel may of taken its tole :(
Fuel pump & filter / Injector time?
I'm questioning a few bits, non genuine but new coilpack and leads, and worn injectors...
I ran it on super for a long time but found it made no difference and couldn't justify the extra 5p per litre doing so many miles, so as it still felt good reverted to standard... hmmm
Pass MOT
Smash it into a curb
Forget it happened
Let people completely smash it up and sit at home eating popcorn while cs.net talk about it
Scrap yard
Mine did this for a while, then it got worse and the Coil light came on when it did it and the engine wouldn't come back to life until you flick the ignition... coilpack
Pulled the plugs out, cleaned them all up with wire brush and brake cleaner etc...
#1 (Closest the gearbox) and #3, looked dry and slightly powdery white, other two still looked normal ish but still needed a quick clean up
Started up nicely but still there...
Dead injectors leaning it off...
Balls...
Guess it's time for another plug in then, although it's a pretty sad state of affairs not being able to solve it...
Suppose it could be:
Wiring
Knock Sensor
Lambda
TDC?!
Plugs
Leads
Coilpack
Injector
TB
Another sensor
Fuel pump / wiring
Map
Compression / other !!
It's not a massive...
Surely it would show the other vin of the car it came from?
I still have the old one? Perhaps I'll swap it back so it matches again. Never know, CLIP may work then to read it for what the hells going on.
Why didn't we do it :cry: lol?!
It smells rich on start up, and pops/splutters if you blip the throttle when putting the clutch in
Also for example in 4th gear at 40mph, if you put your foot down it'll splutter unless you let the revs rise a bit first or drop a gear
Getting a little tired of...
I'm considering just buying an RS Tuner to look into the problem but unsure how good they are at finding faults? Or just lob some new injectors in
True Dan I didn't think of that.. would explain why CLIP reads my vin number as 0123456ABCDEF as forgot I swapped the airbag module etc.. hmmm still...
So I have a misfire at low revs when putting your foot down, or pulling away is the worst, but it clears above 2.5/3000rpm and pulls right up the revs fine, very frustrating...
New parts replaced:
Coilpack
Leads
Plugs (NGKR)
First Lambda (Bosch)
MAP Sensor
When giving it some the car's cat...
Maybe worth cleaning / replacing your TDC sensor bud
Under the induction hose / water hoses on the top of the gearbox, two 10mm bolts, clean up the wiring connection too
About time you got another ;) perhaps a 197 / 200 LY?
Cheers pal, you would of known if I still had 45 CB plate ha
Has to have Turini's... its a Cup !
Ill keep my eyes peeled for you :)
Didn't know you were still on here dude!
Seems I am becoming a little high profile now I go to Lee Mill everyday :smile:
Cheers but they arent 2118's, sheepline Turini's lol
Why the police would leave it for 2-3 weeks is strange?
Unless the owner is away, and its been stolen, seems strange place for an owner just to leave it, unless the belt snapped perhaps...
I need some spares and having one locally is handy, or powerwash it and replace the windows
