be wary of generic obd readers as they can miss so many things, can be handy for quick checks like lambda sensors but personally wouldn't trust one as far as i could throw it. if you want to buy something like launch is worth getting, over £100 easy enough but they are pretty good value and...
christ that's bad!! exhaust must stink. quick one to try, pull the oil filler and have a sniff to see if it smells of petrol. that's a hell of a lot of fuel to get through in such a short distance. i had a rough 182 in that was running about 11% with a duff lambda and that was nowhere near as...
pulling the fuse will just kill the abs/tc but not sure what the score would be with the car still seeing the wheel speed sensor? would be tempted to unplug. take it you've got traction control? if so could just turn it off and see if that makes a difference?
can assume resistance measures ok then, should be around 15 ohms. still other things to take into account with injectors though, injector on time, shut off voltage spike etc.
also if they were a pain to get back in what were the seals like? bit of rubber grease and they should go in easy...
if it is that one that gives the speed reading then logically your speedo will be under reading. try reading them at around 15mph and see how they are to each other. or as a quick one just un plug the sensor and see how it drives, will bring on abs etc lights but be a quick way to see if it does...
they are all wheel speed sensors used for the abs, never even thought about what one the car takes it's speed from though? didn't think the car is advanced enough to have anything like an anti stall?
it's an injector, get it plugged in...oh, hold on i already said that and northloopcup even said to measure the resistance of them but hey ignore us and carry on buying parts for the car:wink:
must of missed that sorry. sensor problem would kick of the traction control but that shouldn't make revs rise, not sure though if tc has kicked in if it cuts when the clutch switch is activated? disconnect the clutch switch and see if the revs still pick up when the clutch is pressed.
just do a live data read of the road speeds they see, should pretty much tell you if everything is ok. this thread does have a clutching at straws sort of theme to it though, car needs plugging in and a proper look at and take it from there.
probably just a rough patch where pad has sat on the disc and rusted slightly. get one a nice long stretch of road get to about 70ish and stomp on the brakes, let off at about 10mph and let the car roll to a stop, do not touch the brakes even the handbrake. wait for a good few minutes, five if...
need to know what the code was read with, then clear the code and take the car out for a good hard drive and then read codes again. you can have a faulty injector without a misfire, they can overfuel easy enough. did you read live data from the front lambda?
might not be but seem to remember they did clunk a tad when you braked in reverse? nothing to worry about if it is the pads as they aren't a tight fit.
