Do the spraying thing.......get someone to rev and reproduce the noise while your at it but be careful of spinny bits etc....
As per dannys suggestion, try a wee toot under the plenum towards the above seal to see if that does anything.

Right Henk my man, hurry up and send me an unlock code so I can map the balls of my onion box :)
P.s. What map would you recommend for my car, standard apart from a ktec stealth?

I can reproduce this every time by running live data and the engine running........
It just shats out anywhere between 20 and 70 errors
I swear i am going to sue Henk for new trunks...
Jj
Ok.......brown pants removed.....as per this thread, the single throttle error isnt an issue, what does it mean though?
Am i also right in saying that i shouldnt be lookig at the error codes with live data running and the engine running?
Or do i have problems?
Jj
And i am being shown the following
When i try to erase error codes it tells me it was unable to do so....
WHat gives? Does it need to be licensed to do this?
Also, the red throttle error, why does that say "not an error" and that its still seemingly current but there is no warning...
Perhaps the braking oddity may direct the cause towards the servo pipework, im assuming that it connects to the intake somewhere like other cars..
First place to look imo.
Jj
I mean the noise man, it is HILARIOUS.
Its probably something really small......what about spraying wd40 around hose joints etc while its making that noise to see if it stops
Nah...i tried a few things and it was bumper off only...
Thoughht, to be fair....in terms of bumper removal.....this is one of the better ones (easier imo)
Good luck
JJ
Ok, you all know i had my "engine wet lights on high revving" fiasco last week and that the "toxic fumes" or "emissions" light was on for a few days after that.....but then went off?
Right....well, yet again.....i have convinced myself that the car is driving, well.....differently.
I...
I feel somewhat fortunate too in that mine fixed itself after a bloody good hoke.
Im still looking forward to getting my rstuner to see/clear the codes.
Jj
TPS is the throttle position sensor. Its in the throttle body which is probably the most sensitive bit of all of the engine electrics.
is your car driving ok now apart from the emissions light?
J
I had EXACTLY the same thing last week.
Car dried out right'n quick, i believe it was damp in the TPS or something.
I had the emissions light on for a week but it went off eventually.
My only concern is that i believe that historic codes (i.e. no longer active) can still affect the way the...
Surely there has to be something wrong as the bulbs dont go that easily.
If they are popping fuses that easily id have an autospark have a look.
Could be somethig as daft as connections in the ballasts etc...
I wouldnt touch myself as they are very high voltage i believe
Jj
:D
Ok chap.....ill see how it goes and let you know.
Ill drop you a PM with my # anyway, drop me a text if you get a chance so i can shout you off the board if needed, usually a bit quicker.
Cheers
JJ
Ok chap, thanks.....will see how it goes and give you a shout if needs be.
This isnt limp home is it by the way?
As she is just as peppy as ever....
Cheers

So is this a Reno only diagnostic session to find out whats going on?
Lets assume whatever happened, was down to water in the engine bay. What on earth would cause the car to idle at 3000rpm, not respond to the throttle and the other odd thing was that when i pushed the brake pedal, the idles...
Hey matey,
No, I didnt hose under the bonnet but when i looked, under the bonnet was utterly soaking.......looks like that during my "mega" wash (tm), it got seriously wet under there.
Seemed ok on a cold start this morning apart from the below light showing.
Is that a BAD thing?
Is...
