Hello, I've recently had a not that big crash (allegedly) on a roud course, and the passenger bag blew, also the car turned off immediately. Since i've also cracked the oil pan, took some time to fix it and now the car won't start. On my launch it throws a code for the ecu locked after crash...

Hello. I'm in the process of swapping the old epas with an electric epas pump, in the trunk. I Have the same one as pictured, from a Ford, but it's a generic TRW unit. It has 2 connectors, with 5 pins in total. Two big gauge wire ( suppose positive and negative) and a connector with 3 smaller...

Hello! I've already posted a couple of threads for this, and also used the search function extensively, but it seems I can't get a solution to this, and I'm slowly going mad. -Temperature gauge is ALWAYS(ish) at 0, since i've bought the car a year and a half ago. Tried 4 sensors both new and...

Hello folks, Quick one: How likely is the ac compressor to fail internally? Having some weird noises from it when turning on, can't build too much pressure either, and i'm seeing the clutch slipping very hard, like it's easy to see it turning much slower than the rest of the pulleys. Ac...

Hello. Having some issue with a misfire that started suddenly after the car sitting for a few days. Injector 1 (closest to gearbox) was shot, when unplugged it made no difference, so i assumed its that and ordered a new one ( already changed the other 3 a couple months ago) After putting a new...

Hello. my car is acting very weird and its very annoying. It takes 10 minutes of cranking to start it when it doesn't work, very fuely smell, and misfiring horrendously, while not displaying the right temp, the gauge drops to zero. When the temp gauge chooses to display right( jumping from 0 to...

Hello. I have a problem where the car sometimes won't start. I turn the key to start it, and nothing happens, then i back the key and start it again, and then it starts fine. Sometimes, if it takes more that 4 key turns to start, the immo kicks in and it cuts off after cranking for a couple of...

Hello. All of a sudden my 172 ph2 started having problems with 5th gear. Gear engages normally, but when throttle is applied the gearstick moves back a lot ( only in 5th) and the 5th disengages with a slight crunch. Anyone had any problems with 5th gear syncros? Or should i be looking at the...

Hello, it's me again. Front wipers work only when i pull the stalk to wash the windscreen, doesn't work when selecting the 4 clicks. I've swapped the stalks completely because the clock spring nuked itself, and it didn't fix the problem. Is this just a french car being weird as always?

Hello. Ran into some gremlins a couple of days ago. Car was running on idle for about 10 mins while i ran some diagnostic software just for the sake of it. I notices the rev gauge was a bit weird as it jumped from 500-2000-1000 etc, while the car was idling fine and running great. I shut it off...
