Be a bit yet....I aint got no supercomputer ;)

Only got through the first few so far, it might be! What torque mate?

Yep its in there :)

Does your reg end in *AJ mate?

I was there or there abouts...there was another guy with a video camera around too though, stood in a similar place lol. I had the stripy hoody on Think I missed it due to trying ECU's on Whiteleys car :(

Some good results today, especially gray, mental figure for the mods! Got quite a lot of the runs on video, just sorting through it now...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Tested ECU on whiteleys car, exact same....so 100% an ECU issue. Weather it is an immobiliser, or actual ECU fault is yet to be seen. Got a couple of ECU's off whiteley to give a try :)

Can you put part of your REG's next to the power, so I can match it to all the video? :) Good day out, shame I couldnt have ran mine, oh well.

Unfortunately not mate. The only part thats coming is the ECU from it lol. Been having major problems over the past few days, think the ECU has f*cked up for good!

Mcdonalds a few minutes down the road, and other places too IIRC.

Ive got a lift sorted now, see you NW'ers at Birch @ 8.15 sharp... You have my number if there are any problems/late etc..

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah that would work acctually....worth a shot

Looking at around 30 quid to skim it probably. Just look for local precision engineering places in yellow pages and they will be able to do it

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Gona put it on Chris's car and see if it runs....if it does we know the ECU is OK and there is something up with the car....or vise-versa. Too bad hes too lazy and hasnt wired in the OBD port lol. Im sure I can find someone that will let me plug it in and...

No no plans still to meet there :) If anything changes il let you know, but it most likely wont

Should be around next weekend if my cars working Ian As said, it will most likely need skimming anyway so just need to get it off and check it out

My car wont be there now. But I will probably still attend if I can get a ride up. Anyone got a 172 Ph1 that I can plug my ECU into and see if it runs? Its emulated so immobiliser isnt an issue, just plug and play. Reason being we think its nackered, but it will confirm its not if it runs...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just had RAC out to it. Explained what had been swapped and tested, didnt help that its still pi**ing down too. He suggested the ECU wasnt getting any power, but then I explained how that cant be possible as its priming the pump and running it on cranking...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah, but its been running fine without any issues (starting/running wise) for the past 4-5months, then all of a sudden it stops completely?! Ive had so many different people tell me what the immobiliser does and does not block, so im confused as to what...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Ah I understand what you mean now, yeah. Im getting 12v at the coil when cranking no problem...Il check if its coming back too though. Just swapped the TDC sensor for another known working item and there is no difference, so that has to be ruled out IMO...

New battery fitted. Replacement coilpack fitted. Exactly the same. F*ck.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Just connected a fresh battery to crank it over.....just exactly the same, cranks and cranks, this is with the replacement coilpack too. Andrew....if im getting 2 x 12v's...does that mean the immobiliser is not active? or something else?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not touched it parts wise for around 2 weeks+ at least, was driving and starting perfectly fine all day wednesday, drove it home, parked it up....came out 4 hours later and nothing, just cranks and cranks and cranks. Dont think anythings been disrupted, not...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Dont see how it could be an ECU problem though....unless ive been very unlucky and somethings fried. Had it open yesterday and it was bone dry inside, so cant be water damage. Also, it did fire up for a second at least, twice when cranking, but cut out...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project apparently its the other two wires that get earthed according to sidewaysdanny in another thread...so I guess i could multi meter it. Thing is though, im guessing there will be no signal for the spark....no idea what to go on then, as im unsure what would...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Coilpack fitted. Still doesn't start. FFS.

yeah, tried rotating them. Thing is fuel is coming to the line on priming and cranking (checked with jerry can)...the coil is also getting voltage on cranking, which the TDC will not allow if its getting an insufficient signal, surely? Unsure if the actual injectors themselves are firing, but...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Yeah...although probably easier to pop the inlet manifold off and look down the lower inlet, can see the injectors near enough there :)

Re: N/W Xmas Meet I just said to Jamie on MSN that im going to a unit behind speedkarting tommorow, il call in and see the price/availability situation if anyone wants me to?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I just picked up a spare coilpack, will put it on in the morning and hopefully it will fire up. If not il pop the fuel rail out and give that a try, sounds the easiest way to do it! Dont see why it shouldn't be the coilpack though, as its getting a feed on...
