Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Just tried a few more things, although i'm getting incredibly bored with this now.
Firstly, My own ECU. Removed the emulator, ignition on and off a few times. Then re-fitted the emulator using two alternative pins for power and earth, just to make sure they...
Does your reg end in *ZL?
All in all, there is video of...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Not yet nope....different coilpack doesn't spark either...so im guessing the injectors are not firing...
Plugged it into Whiteleys and it just cranks over and over and over, exactly the same as on mine. Also connected it to Daz's 172 Cup (ph2) just to see...
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 :(
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 :)
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!
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...
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...
