Tried all that already andy on saturday/sunday, had the whole electrics out and tested every wire to the connector and then to the ecu to check the connections, all 3 wires to the coilpack are fine. you did a good job of soldering them all neatly if Im honest.

yea you bet, Im going to need it for 5 weeks time as well. thing is GDI replaced the belt 15k miles ago, im going to go dig out a receipt

well after a chat with a friend of mine tonight he thinks its the cambelt and another mechanic freind of his thinks it is too. Im going to phone about for someone to come and look at it tomo then take it to get replaced, maybe kenny brown or another knowledgeable place near by anyone got a...

Just reading up on sensors, this may help you too> http://www.aa1car.com/library/1999/cm69910.htm

the lambda isnt spliced into the existing wiring? Could find out which pin it is on the omex and do the same from there

you should take the wiring apart at the original ecu and use a voltmeter to check the signals from the sensors.

nice, best friend went to sedbergh school, he had to run up that hill once a year lol

try disconnecting the lambda

I am in the same boat with taking it to a garage, they would take a look at the omex and s**t themselves. Throttle position sensor? Does it read okay on the omex map software?

Someone has suggested to me that the cambelt may have jumped a tooth? wouldnt this cause loss of compression too? sounds like this guys problem too> http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=147157&highlight=cambelt+jumped

from the pictures it looks like it has a shunt at the rear, the lack of arch liners at the front is worrying too, also the shut lines on the drivers door. He wouldnt sell it for less than its worth, I'd avoid it.

Yea I did it yesterday, all cylinders were 185-192 psi The car starts everytime(sometimes with a few extra turns) but runs on 2

I just checked the wiring from the coilpack to the ecu and its all fine. Ive taken the wiring apart and it all looks okay. I cant explain how frustrating this is, especially I now dont have any more options.

alrighty will do.

Okay, you have any idea what it could be? Dont want to get you up and theres not much you can do. busy just now?

Okay an update> I have check the compression and its 100% in all 4 cylinders about 185psi-190psi. I pulled the injectors out on the rail and cranked it. They are all pulsing perfectly yet its still running on 2. Its the middle 2 cylinders that arent firing. This makes me think its the...

Re: My mk1 track car blog they are sparco sprint 5's just realised the price I had was plus vat too..dammit! best price is peter lloyd racing, who are 210 delivered too!

Bit difficult when its only firing on 2 anyway but I get what you mean. Will have to wait a few days until Im back in scotchland. I bought a compression tester as well to see if that shows anything, fingers crossed its fine.

no mate, guy bought off me was from brighton or somewhere, he has since sold it on. the reg was HT51 FHO though if you see it in any pics

ahh i shee he got his the week after I sold mine.

keep seeing that remote support mk1 vee in paisley too, my bro said he saw it with massive key marks up the side.. a week later it is wrapped in vinyls... cheap way to fix it!

1 mk1?!?! they must be getting written off faster than I thought

numberplate T#LCS. Thats 4 blue mk2 vees i know of in the glasgow area!!

Re: My mk1 track car blog How much did you pay for the seats? Best price I can get is 198 delivered for the 2 plus side mounts this is a good read btw

Andy, I assume this works only if its working on all 4? Right now, its just 2 even at tickover. I appreciate the help. legohead - The ECU was ran on omex' test car for an hour an it was okay. It has also been running for 12 months on the current map so it is spot on. Ali- fred has already...

thanks for giving me confidence! lol

nah they are not, lack of good specialists north of the border though

Im in glasgow jesus so not exactly handy, yozzasport is closer. Just swapped the plugs, no change.
