CTS or a faulty H02 could indeed cause this... needs Live data access to say for sure.

I must be sitting on a fortune as i've got a couple of hundred in various display cabinets; Road, Classics, BTCC/WTCC, Clio/Megane Cup, Rally. I thought they were all mass produced but apparently not. [runs to see what number out of 43 they all are]

I've just looked at this again and giggled - What a winner and he clearly believes it to be true.

Once the top end has been rebuilt, belt runs replaced and timing setup you won't need to "run in" the engine no... I'm not saying nail it but use it as you would normally. Mick

Possible but in my experience, unlikely unless there are obvious signs of damage or you've done some recent work that has involved the swapping of engine looms (Renault likes to keep people on their toes by "modifying" loom specs and pin-outs from time to time). Pics? Are you sure you bridged...

I don't think its the Imob at fault and more like the main control relay. Can you hear the fuel pump prime for 3secs when you turn the key?

Face + Palm

I've only ever had one problem like this that couldn't be fixed with one of these and the application of my 13stn... it was a Volvo T5r and a Thursday. Get it on an impact gun and it'll buzz it off for fun.

IIRC its nothing more than a 10mm M6x1.5 Hex - they won't be able to sell you a single item as they come to them in packs of 30. You'd be far better off going to either a local fixings place or even a DIY store such as B&Q, Focus, Etc and buying what you need from the hardware sections.

Ah that stupid 120A thing... cut it off and slide the flat bit under the terminal and bolt hte bugger down - Job D U N

Hahaha - "Shut up, shut up" - I never understood why the floor fell out either shortly after This kind of thing is to be taken with a pinch of salt as it uses the cars own systems for measuring distance Vs speed/load to roughly work it out. They are pretty good if you do it on a long flat...

Sorry but I need to ask - What exactly is the point other than to make the rear of the car un-useable and to have somewhere to mount harness to?

Check the reluctor rings on the front shaft that has just been changed. Make sure the number of teeth is the same as the item that was removed.

The Crank Position Sensor has nothing to do with the starter operation. It'll be electrical for sure so either the solenoid live wire at fault... the spade connector can cause issues if its covered in corrosion or the wire is hanging off. The other possible cause is the earth strap between the...

As a car though that shape Fiesta isn't a very good one... My sisters has been in and out for so much warranty work; Window screens not bonded/sealed correctly, faulty window regulators, siezing locks, seats not folding and rear light cluster "issues". The new model however is a different case...

Technically its a French car still... well, the engine at least is French ;) My sister has one of these in standard guise and they do look nice but not the greatest handler in standard form.

Never trust a car sales person when it comes to important technical matters on your vehicle. If its not documented and you have doubts get it changed. Mick

saves your knuckles though aye Fred ;)

Firstly, and if you've not already done so, it wouldn't hurt to press the inertia switch (Red rubber thing on the passenger turret) just incase it has accidentally been tripped. It'll make an audible "Click" if you press it and it has tripped. This is a safety device that cuts the earth lines to...

In your case then dwizzle its either a sticking or faulty IACV but you need to clean out the plastic housing that it sits in to before you change the sensor itself. nnf - yours could be the same issue but it could also be something as simple as it needs a new throttle cable to Mick

I would say firstly you need to get a diagnostic done on the UCH to see what it's not seeing so that's going to mean taking it to a specialist not a jack of all trades garage. What with the car not even attempting to start could be a control relay issue or a fault within the UCH itself. It could...

That's why you ideally need to have them setup on a Dyno rather than use numbers that someone else with a different engine build claims to be the best as they may not suit your needs or driving style. I'm not a tuner and I can't tell you how to dial them in for maximum chicken but I was always...

A few questions: Check all fuses... okay? Imobilliser LED Flashing or on solid when turning the engine over? Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on? When turning the engine over does it sound normal or does it seem faster and easier? I suspect the CPS has given up but you...

A phase 2 will have the stepper controlled throttle body and so it doesn't have a dedicated Idle Air Control valve as the throttle plate itself is actuated by the ECM to control idle speed... technically the mechanic guy that looked hte car over was right. Diagnostics are only as good as the...

Scope the injector and coil triggers then, if they're okay check the coil pack primary/secondary resistance and go from there. Mick

Yes, fit them and then get it on a dyno so the cams can be dialed in to suit your needs.

Get it on a diagnostic setup... Could be an H02 or a CTS issue

Same part number matey

I remember once hearing my local Renault dealership telling a telephone customer this very tale... its proper ROFL material.

I loved this game and remember hitting the LAB Servers hard as soon as I got in from work till the early hours of the morning... good times but wouldn't have a missus if I hadn't stopped playing at 1.6
