So i still have a bumpy idle...............yes, i know they are bumpy in general but mine has the Fstchip map on it which as far as I can recall..........had it idling at 1100 (can someone verify that for me?) Anyway, I have been reading the workshop manual (heck, beats the news) and noticed...

Sweet fkn Bethlehem this is a bottomless pit right now :/

Eugh............balls..............so I still have that weird squeal on full lock when the car is cold............I thought it was the crank pulley when I put marks on the inner and outer sections and noticed that they moved apart. I assume that wasn't a wasted job anyway? Once the car is warm...

Right gang...........all the bits I have are now on......I have a set of new injectors coming on Wed to throw in as well from Rentech. That crankshaft pulley bolt though.....wowsers, that was TIGHT.....just proved the value of my brand new Milwaukee impact gun (the brutal 1300lbft one) Locked...

RIght-o..........................have queried the warranty on Renparts items but will just pull the trigger anyway Apologies for seeming to bounce back and forth.............you just have to muddle yourself through these things sometimes J

Well.................I am just back from driving like king ballbag and the car didn't skip a beat. It has been a dog all week and the new coil has just changed that. Not one misfire, hesitation, bump, fart or squeak. To be clear...........on the way home earlier............the light was...

No codes listed and I was of the impression that flashing EML is taken from the CAT reading a stupid reading. I literally drove it home misfiring, changed the coil within 5 minutes and the misfire is gone.

So............car full on spat dummy out this am on the way home from school....................banging, misfiring...............would have done Chitty Chitty Bang Bang proud. But shortly from home I had the flashing EML which to me means the CAT is at risk so nursed it home and just threw the...

Appreciate that bud.............will pop them a mail as would prefer local obviously Cheers J

Oh yeah, this is what I didn't understand with regards to the Renparts items........ "3 Months Warranty" Can that be right on a new item?

Hmm, yeah...................never occurred to check Renparts eBay store again Steve.......fair point. Almost sure I checked before and it was more expensive than that. Obviously not! Cheers bud

This........I had an Astra GTE 16v back box on my Seat Marbella with a bit of jiggery pokery :)

Hey Si, Appreciate that. I have a new coil and plugs to go here.............if i get so far down the road to look into MAP further I will give you a shout but firmly in the world of spark and gas right now. Bigger mechanical work (pulley replacement) is probably going to take the longest time...

Doesn't idle like a Subaru bud, only when under load on light throttle until around 2500rpm...............tried pulling injector leads in turn last night to see if it changed the idle (which is smooth) and it just obv went off a cylinder each time.

Thanks guys..........yeah.........well, I have a new coil/crank sensor and loom/plugs etc to go in as part of a big chunk of work to do so I will throw it in anyway.........will actually try that tonight to see if it changes but will look to getting the set of injectors ordered as well. I take...

Right................I still haven't got at it yet but the misfire has evolved into full on Subaru under 2500 rpm which goes away above those revs albeit seemingly with the power down. With the occasional bang from the exhaust. Would we be leaning more ignition now?

1039 with engine off buddy. Timing was sorted last year by myself but will be checked again soon when I do the pulley

I think so bud.....or at least I think that is all RSTuner does

long term fuel trim 36.08 short term fuel trim 23.00

Hi fella, That is decent of you. I might take you up on that but really don't want to be tearing your car apart :) Just checked the MAP sensor anyway. MAP engine off - 1039.10 MAP engine running - 4-500

Super.....that is a prime candidate for a check i think, thanks @flebay I assume replacing these doesn't strictly have to be from Renault?

Its still there as well

wtf fella? When i started the thread, I think that the site still reflected the car i was driving in my profile, i can see that is now no-longer the case But even from the now grainy avatar, it can bee seen that it is a ph2 172 Are you having a bad Wednesday or something Steve?

Thanks Steve, will give that a good eyeball when/if I get home J

Interesting.............that bad boy is in the engine bay fuse box? Generic relay?

Hmm, so i have been using the wrong part number :/

Sure thing bud, let me know by PM or otherwise what you would need for one. The part number i have been working with for searching is 8200719629

I have also been assuming (correct me if i am wrong) that there is not much else other than the crank sensor, coil failure or bad/no earth that would cause a complete loss of power when under load? I also have to eyeball that connector under the engine bay relay box and ecu connections to be fair.

Hey @flebay thanks for that. I think i did quote off a few values a while ago but they were with the motor running and the timing was deffo out. Will try to pop on the tuner tonight and see what that reads for the MAP reading although the home combi boiler has just dropped its trunks at home...
