Stevo - I ordered my Adaptronic E420C last week for my Clio - should have it in a couple of weeks time. Going to be running it in conjunction with my new Jenvey throttle bodies. Would be good to bounce ideas off each other should we run into problems.

they dont really have a cam sensor
only a depahser solenoid you may be confusing it with and it runs without this

Oh ok then, thanks for that. i thought the Dephaser ran off oil pressure similar to the Honda K20/K22 engines.

You learn somthing new everyday lol

Im Guessin your a Renault Tech Ditz?? or somewhat linked to them?

Re: 80% complete 172RWD! - updated

its activated by oil pressure but the solenoid just opens and closes a valve to allow it to pressurise the dephaser

actually work in a jag specialist garage, renaults are just my thing if you like.

yh well sorta:)
think i shoult change fuel pump as its over fueling even on prime up?!?:S
Click to expand...

Mate....a bigger fuel pump wont cause overfuelling - after all it only provides enough fuel as the regulator allows!! ;)

Good to hear its nearly there though mate.....expect to see some sideways action soon! LOL :evil:

Still wont cause it to overfuel at idle unless your injectors are stuck open? Is your MAP sensor conected up ok? maybe the ECU isnt seeing the vac and running on the 100kp section of the map?

Re: 80% complete 172RWD! - updated

found out half my running problems was down to the fuel pump!
iv now ordered a 12mm inlet 8mm outlet facet high pressure(fuel injection pump lol)not a redtop facet for carberretors!
also had to get my swirl pot fabricated with a 12mm outlet!
will still run crap because of the map tho.
