Good shout. Bit tricky at the moment where the car is parked, might see if my jump leads will reach over as the battery is on the wrong side with no room next to it, typical.

I hope the battery on mine isn’t on the way out as is brand new! I thought I had a battery drain on it as it went flat in three days last week. Ive tried to diagnose it yesterday but couldn’t (will double check tomorrow) and then it wasn’t giving bad readings on the multi meter suggesting that...

Front bumper is now fitted after I painted it I don’t think it’s too bad for a rattle can job done by me. I still need to polish and wax it but it was raining. Looks soooo much better now. The whole car will still need a respray though. Need to sort out the arch liner situation. I’m tempted to...

I had a feeling that it could be battery related but with electrical stuff I never know. The last time it was doing something similar the battery was properly ruined and had no charge. I should try and sort out a trickle charger for it really.

Just in case anyone stumbled across this in the future with a similar problem….I charged the battery last night and put it on. All seemed to be working normal. Started the car all fine and left it after and all was still fine. I foolishly didn’t measure the voltage of the battery before I put it...

Put the battery back on just now and it was all normal, no flashing lights. Car started fine. All happy....until about a minuite later there was a relay going crazy in the engine bay then that stopped after about 30 seconds. Couldn't remote lock the car. Looked at the dash and the immobiliser...

Went to lock the Clio this afternoon after working on it and it wouldn’t lock. The light on the fob was going when pressed. Looked inside and the immobiliser light was going mad and so was the oil pressure light. Opened the door and you can hear a relay in time with the oil pressure light...

Perfect! Waiting to hear back from EFI to see what they can do.

Yeah it is a bit odd, like I was expecting it to be a constant reading not all over the place on all ur cylinders. I’ve messaged EFI to see if they know what could be the cause. Also asked about availability so I can see when you are free. In my mind it has to be the base map in the ECU as...

I’ve rechecked the TPS wiring and happy that is all correct. Checked for continuity between the signal wire and ECU plug. And then saw the voltage drop in the signal wire when the throttle is operated. I also with the advise from barnesautos to remove the TPS, start the car and manual move the...

I think it is fueling perfectly..... Haha. No wonder it is running rough af, it is like this over all 4 bodies. And giving it a bit of throttle it sounds smoother but isn't on the gauge. Bit annoying as I wanted to get it warm but I can't get it to idle properly. It idles too low (no more...

Checked the TPS wiring as per @barnesautos instructions and happy that is was the right way round. I managed to get it to idle without holding on the throttle. It is still far too low at 750rpm and wants to stall and is a bit lumpy. It still has a slight miss when revving too and smokes a lot...

Tha gas the plan, work out where pin 43 goes. I presume when you say activate the throttle to test the signal that is just measure the voltage over the wire in pin 43 when I press the throttle pedal and it should read something? Electronics are not my forte! Hoping to finish work a bit earlier...

And this is the only marking I can see on the TPS (might be one in the other side but I’ll remove it when I get a chance to look at this later in the week)

I’ve just checked what I was sent and it agrees with the Red to Orange but it says black to begin then green to white I’ve done as per the instructions I was sent as tbh that was all the info I was given!! And the fact that the TPS I was sent would fit directly onto a Ph2 loom. Have I been...

Amazing info thanks. I’ll try and get around to looking at this one evening this week or weekend. I did look and according to the KTec website it is a P&G TPS as you suggested, although I forgot to look at the sensor itself.

A massive shout out to @barnesautos for his time and help today. He knew exactly why the fuel pump was not running - my instructions from KTec were incomplete. I needed to move another pin on the ECU. So now I don't have a dodgey wire running from the battery to the fuel pump lol. Had it...

For ayone who stumbles accross this thread in the future with the same issue, as above Move Pin 68 to Pin 9. Although Pin 9 already as a wire going to it so just need to remove it and ignore it.

I’ll message you first before I book it in in case you’d re free haha. But yeah, give me a week to make sure on its actually ready to be booked in with the rough af idle as I don’t want to get there and be like them day “nahh can’t map this it’s s**t”

Me too!! Want to be a bit more confident with it before I’ll get it booked in. And I’ll speak with EFI first to see what they say about common things that go wrong when mapping so I can check first. But it has new everything so I’m hopeful it will be ok

Fitted the trumpets and the cover in the ECU wires. Engine bay looks proper smart now! Still undecided if I want to run the air filter or just get some mesh to sandwich behind the trumpets to stop any of the big debris. Had it idling for a bit longer while I dropped it off the little caravan...

Sure I saw that Clio for sale many years ago

Ok so this happened today after work It works!! We’ll sort of. Runs proper rough, has no idle and smokes a lot. And those with a keen eye will spot a wire from the battery in the passenger window that goes to the fuel pump as for some reason it won’t get a feed so it has got a constant...

Went to start my Ph1 172 or the first time after fitting the ITB's. It has a GEN90 ECU in it now and as per the instructions I got from KTec I swapped the ECU pins around. I am told the ECU came wth a base map on it. When I came to start it, turned the ignition on and the fuel pump did not...

Spare half hour today so I did some finishing jobs. The p-clips for the fuel return line arrived so fitted them. It is a lot tidier now and managed to cable tie the hose out of the way of the alternator belt I took some inspiration from when I had RC cars and putting the electronics inside...

Not washed my E60 for about 6 weeks. Did about 700miles on the motorway in a week, most of which were in torrential rain. Then I left it at Heathrow last weekend and it was a bit grim. It was all sticky and that from jet fuel residue. Hard to get photos of how grim it was I caved in today...

Nice one thanks. It was either your truck or borrow a trailer and tow it but I have never towed anything before so would be a little nervious doing it as my first time. Not going to get any more time on it for a few weeks though now but the one thing to do it put the new ECU in.

I’ll take a read later. But I’ve been told by KTec that once I move the pins in the ECU connector about (gave me a diagram) then it should fire into life….should. Mine has a base map and enough to get it running to get it up to temp to check before mapping. I won’t be able to drive it but hoping...

Two more jobs ticked off the list this weekend. Didn't have a lot of time over the weekened but I could have done it in one day if I didn't have to go out this morning. Throttle cable now attached and works. Got a nice feel to the pedal too. Was a right pain to do! But that is what you get...

Spent some time this morning ticking off a few more jobs on the list: New throttle cable fitted (this definately wasn't done while I was on a work call with my laptop in the garage and just listening on headphone....honest) - although it isn't attached to the throtle boddies yet Wired up the...
