Right. Here is the image of the o2 sensors (lambda sensors) in operation with the car running, live data: See how the rear sensor is doing absolutely nothing. I checked and it's both connected to the ECU via the loom and plugged into the decat. Other image showing data grid. Bear in mind the...

I think he means poor.

Yeah will do Rob. Chip, you may be right, the mechanic saying it's connected might mean it's connected to the ECU but not the decat pipe. Will check later. Cheers guys.

LOL. Agreed. They were f*cking awful those alloys. Stock wheels were tip top. Will try and post pics later.

Re: [NSW] Blue Mountains Drive Day #2 Report + Photos Fantastic mate. But I bet this gets a lot of views off folk thinking NSW is Not Safe for Work ;) Lovely pictures.

The mechanic said it's connected mate. Apparently both are. With what you said in mind though, surely if it was disconnected and a consistent and set value, it wouldn't shoot up when the car stalls? Like you also said, it could well be a red herring, in truth.

LOL. I was getting a little worked up about that. You're good. You're very good ;)

Also, regarding that wonky signature, the decal actually comes with the birth-death date underneath, which I cut off. If I'd left that information on and stuck the sticker on straight using the constraints of the signature, the birth-death date would have been wonky. So my signature strip is...

When I did the live data reading on both lambda's, the front gave a low voltage reading until I revved the car, thus increasing it's reading before settling again. The rear, however, was a set voltage figure of around 492 and no matter how hard I revved the car, it did not change one iota. I'd...

That's interesting mate, as I'd never even heard of that solenoid valve prior to your previous post and now. Where the hell does that go?!

First Clio Williams 3 (those Speedlines didn't last long): Second Clio Williams 3 (Turinis didn't last long either): I've got loads of photos at home of both Williams' with the standard alloys on, but none on my computer. Loved those cars. First Clio 182 (Bought brand new in 2004)...

FLOL. Who signs their name straight? Anyway, it's the car that's wonky, not the signature ;)

Lovely car mate. Really like this.

Spot on mate. Haven't had an issue with them and the ride height is fine. Was a bit clattery at first but that was sorted as there was a problem with a bolt on one of the rear shocks. Yeah cheers Chris. Still need to get the front bumper off to fit my 6000k's. I'm proper struggling as the bolt...

It might if the f*cking thing stops cutting out on me.

I've just taken it out to the garage to let them know it's still cutting out. Again, started up fine, temperature gauge showing cold and no cutting out at all, idling fine. Approach junctions, still cold, idles about 1k even when dipping the clutch. Engine starts to warm up, gauge rises. I get...

Most of the sensors are on a loom so that might be a bit of a pain in the arus. Still, could do. As a heads up, Nick is also sending me a TB in the post if he finds it in his shed so could well have that by Wednesday. If it fixes the problem, great, if not, then the sensors thing is a good...

Cool will try and sort Thursday out. In the mean time I'll keep fiddling away :cool: Tonight is reset battery. This won't affect my map or ECU will it? Will I need to remap using the RSTuner again or is that set into the ECU even after reset?

When is best to do this? Tonight? Meet in Whitehaven at train station or something? Doesn't matter what time it is as it's quite light late on anyway. Only takes a few minutes to take the TB off too. I'm not sure it has anything to do with it, but worth a shot. I'm guessing it's a sensor as it...

I've asked Nick if he could send me his throttle body off his breaking car. I will happily pay £25 to test this item and then send it back should it either work or fail. If that's a no go, if anyone else is willing to help out in this way and make £25, please shout up.

Sadly not buddy. I'm going to try and source one in the For Sale ads. I've PMd Nick regarding his breaking 182 so that's maybe a goer. I only need the throttle body to test and then I can rule it out if needbe and sell on, hopefully.

Is there any way to check it will need a new throttle body without actually buying one? Just so I know? Or is it all trial and error?

Yeah you're right. It's just odd that the car was absolutely perfect prior to it having the cylinder head, belts and tappets done. That's what's leading me to think it's something connected.

LOL. So that won't help at all then?

It's just got standard cams on mate. Mapped using an RSTuner for 98ron. Saying that, it was cutting out prior to uploading the recent map so it's definitely got nothing to do with the calibration map.

This is the search from the Faults section on "cutting out" in titles: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/search.php?searchid=7241159 There's loads more for "stalling" or "stalls" in titles, and even more results in the Engine section too. Some have sorted it by simple means, but others didn't get...

Sorry, no. The STOP light comes on only when the car cuts out. Could the problem be related to the cylinder head and cam fitment? Seals/gaskets perhaps? Still wouldn't explain why the car is fine when cold though, I guess.

It only does it when warm I think, which makes me think it's a sensor or some sort of temperature intake reading causing problems which doesn't happen when it's cold. The STOP light appears when the car is stationary and the ignition is on, IIRC. The two lights that appear when the car cuts...

What do you mean by play, mate? I took it off and gave it a clean and it felt stiff to turn (which I assume is how it should be? It flicked back fine and I can understand how trapped fingers could be an issue). Another update, it appears (from guesswork this morning), that when the car is cold...

Airbox swap proved that it's not the airbox :clown: Sometimes when the revs drop under 1k it'll idle back up. Other times it just can't seem to kick start and ends up cutting out. If you are idling at 1k and rev it, it's fine, doesn't cut out. But if you're driving and slowing down for a...
