Unburned fuel and lumpy idle sounds like you're down a cylinder. You can try individually unplugging HT leads (with the engine off) to see if one has no impact on how it runs to find the cylinder thats not firing. Thank can easily swap plugs, leads and injectors around to see if you can...

"If in doubt, check the earths" Is definitely a motto I live by with these cars. Ive replaced all the ones on mine for good measure!

Tiny update - she drove! for the love of god she drove! Only to the petrol station and back as it only has insurance at this current second but still! I did a poll somewhere on here about keeping the 15 year old discs and surprisingly the community suggested it would be fine, but after the...

Been working a while on just finding leaks and making some wiring updates. Not been very good at taking pictures unfortunately. Big next job though it to get a map that works! the current map was assuming 100% throttle and running quite terribly. Chris from EFI part provided a map that was...

Stuck piston ring meant no compression. That and some cylinder wall corrosion over aforementioned 13 years without running meant rebore and oversized pistons. back and almost running again now! at least you caught the oil pump before anything serious happened! I've heard some horror stories...

Did someone use sealant onto the block?! yikes. Why you have posted looks correct, i cannot confirm the pump PN though as I just bought the kit from PMS with the little bracket thing included. Windage tray you will 99% likely be fine if you have a ph2, which from the looks of your profile pic...

How much did you touch the engine? Was it full engine out or just drop the subframe, whip the old one off and put a new one on? A video might help.

Beautiful stuff! Haven't seen RonalTs in a long time! are they 15s?

Remember to check the shock top mount in the boot as well!

Is there a consensus on what the best company to get throttle cables is? I see a huge number of pattern parts available. I assume renault do not stock throttle cables anymore.

You can try swapping injectors around to narrow down the exact problem. Very easy to do if you're competent with a spanner. Black plug sounds a bit like an over fueling issue. Could probably look for some second hand plugs from a breakers if money is a bit tight.

I do not. It was never my intention to get into doing my own mapping so didn't think id need one.

Hello Gen90 enthusiasts. I have built my self into a bit of a corner here. I am running a second hand Gen90 ECU and have all the hardware/software to connect to it. It runs on the map that I have but quite terribly, the throttle response is terrible and the revs return to idle concerningly...

What kind of issues are you looking to resolve with this service? is your UCH broken? I am having a weird problem where my engine wont shut down with the key, I am wondering if its UCH related.

Horn is probably just the connector that's gone. It lives down behind the front bumper so in the elements. One of my jobs this evening is to wire a new connector onto mine to get it working again for the MOT!

does anyone have the spring spec they used for the pedal? I am having the same issue.

Do you have a multi meter? Probably going to need one! Might be a bad earth somewhere. It's normally a bad earth somewhere! I feel for the amount of problems you're having dude. My cars been sat for 14 years and it somehow seems to have less problems thank you!

Do you know which pin? Running a gen90 ECU? And if it's on the live or the earth? Immediate next question would be where the ECU gets it's switch live into pin29. I assume this comes from the UCH to go via the immobiliser check?

Had a bit of a go at dissecting this but it's pretty confusing. Is there anyone good at reading these to talk to? I basically want to know where the signal wire for the coil/pump relay comes from. Does it come from the ECU or the UCH? Alternatively is there a control on the earth of the relay...

Wheels up or down shouldn't make a difference, nor should the lack of box oil. Does it go up and down easily but not front to back? What about at the neutral height, can you push it back and forward for 3rd and 4th respectively?

Clutch is normally pretty heavy as they cable. I think, just to keep the peace, you need to drop the linkage and try and select the gears on the box manually. Just to shut everyone up!

what do you mean "on the floor"? If you mean with the vehicle on its wheels I'd say impossible. Never done one with the engine in, you might be able to half drop the subframe and get it out the side but someone will have to confirm. You'll also need to find a way to support the engine while...

I've always found FrogJam extremely quick if you pay express delivery. Normally next day. Alternatively them may sell you singles or just give you the length if you ask nicely. They've always been very helpful for me.

Sitting flush is what people have found you should not do. It should be a little bit proud. Here is my final installation. It has not leaked... yet

If it makes you feel any better I'm pretty sure my box is going to pop as soon as I get out on track, it's the only thing I've not rebuilt at this point. Someone is selling jc5-129 with LSDs on here 👀 If you do as much of the work yourself you'll at least be left with something close to...

You've really been thrown in the deep end with this car haven't you! Feel for you mate but you'll be a much more knowledgeable enthusiast at the end if you stick with it!

oo amazing, thanks! When i have time I will definitely have a full dig.

I don't suppose anyone has a wiring diagram showing the following wires: The 12v for the exciter wire into the alternator The 12v switch live into the coilpack/fuel pump relay I assume at least the second one of these comes from the UCH as it need to pass the immobiliser test.

Should there not be a simple switch live to the ECU that should turn off with the key turn?

So cleaned up the alternator earth so you now get >0.1ohm between the casing and the earth strap. The problem where the ignition stays on (engine off) has now disappeared. Ran a new earth for the coil pack relay and expected everything to be perfect but again, key off when the engine is...
