It's a serious misfire with my car though, it's running on 3 cylinders when it goes and it's all the time.
Coil pack was replaced and made no difference, so they put the old one back on :(
Right ok update, lambda sensor checked, no good. Auto Electrician's been out and can't find the fault.
I have nothing left I can think to do, can anyone help me? It's costing me a fortune and nobody can fix the bloody thing :(
Just an update a friend of mine has mentioned that he thinks it could be the lambda sensor? He says that as I drove without an exhaust for a week or so it messed up the sensor signals and that'll have shot it.
Ok firstly when driving along, my exhaust began blowing, before getting home to look at it, it had fallen off. I ordered a new one and continued to drive for a little over a week without an exhaust.
Once replaced when driving a light came on, on the dash (The one underneath the petrol light)...
Hi guys,
Had the Engine management light come on the other day and then the car running like crap. If you put the power down it's as if the power is on and off all the time. Took it in to have it checked and the fault's coming up saying it's the throttle sensor.
How easy it to replace myself...
Which cable is the one that tells my car it's moving? Basically I want it so it will play dvds when I'm driving too so I can impress my girlfriend with Micheal Jackson Numbers 1's... Oh yes!
Apparently some cable tells the player I'm moving and needs to be chopped?
I don't think the add or take away any BHP although mine feels diff since putting it on, I think mine was more to do with the fact that my old filter was a bit blocked and only noticed when I took it off.
They sound gorgeous though.
It remaps your current ECU settings to a different set of settings which basically makes it go faster and rev higher.
BHP diff - Not much.. maybe 7bhp?
I have it done and it drives a lot smoother and Revs right up to 7800 rpm.
He's going to ask tomorrow. He doesn't think it's all of them, just one bit's broken or something, so I guess I'll find out. Well gutted, but what can you?
Just spoken to a guy up the road who's a mecanic. He's had a look and he thinks it's the engine mount. He's cheap on labour to fix it as i know him, but how much the engine mounts cost?
I was driving home from work, not going mega fast or anything, just 30 and suddenly i feel this weird thing at my feet.
so i switched of the music and there was this weird shaking feeling. Anyway I put my foot down and "bwarp" comes from the front. Sounds like a sport exhaust, but like from the...
