So if I check for voltage at the TDC sensor when it's being cranked, it should measure 12v? Or do I need to measure it at the ECU?
172 Race Car
it wont read 12volts, it will be about 0.5volts a/c on cranking.
You can measure at the sensor but all that will do is confirm the sensor is ok, it wont help if there is a poor connection and the signal isnt getting to the ecu. If you know what pins the crank signal is on your ecu then you can check it there.
Ive no idea if it will be the same signal that comes out of the tdc sensor tho, sometimes the signal is changed by another ecu to d/c before getting that far. Im not familiar with your setup

Ben's coming up with the schematics for the VEMS so I'll check it then. At the minute I've stripped the whole ECU loo back so you can imagine what state the inside is in. Without andy wiring diagrams I'd be guessing what to test
Such a pain in the arse because I know what I need to check, I just cant, lol.KEV? wanna buy a 1500 honda civic LSI? 12 months MOT???
Kev price?

Will do mate, It's being sent somewhere first as a template
Old idea tbh...
Just first person stupid enough (other than renault for the super1600 rally cars which use the K4M) to go through with it
Its a fair solution and quite resourceful though. Ghetto or not it did the job....but if it wasn't completely sealed there is a chance moisture got in?
I don't know though, I'm a lass. Just hope it gets sorted soon

No, inside of the box is bone dry. I drove to work, stopped, then it just cranked over when I tried to start it a few hours after. Literally has happened within 2-3 hours of
standing still at 10am, so it wasn't even humid.
The only condensation I get is on the inside of the screen when its -tempratures outside!

I got that yesterday when I jumped in BAGS to take it back to Kevdown... I switched on the wipers and was like 'eh??' when the spots of 'rain' didn't wipe away... Then realised they were on the inside! :dapprove:

Noooooo, It was in the footwell for about a week (only drove to FCS and back on the motorway) then its been in the box since then which is waterproof and fixed down. Just randomnly stopped, as in, ran completely fine, then just wouldnt start.
Need a trailor and I havent got one so will see what I can arrange with Ben.

Sign up today, ring them on Sunday or Monday 'Hiya, my car won't work...'
I think some of them have a 24hr initial delay for this very reason...
3 years ago I picked up a V8 caterham-tyle kit car from Glasgow between Xmas and New Year... Set off home at about 9pm, got about 30 miles in the freezing fog and called up the Breakdown service I had got free with the insurance (I put the car on risk at 5pm!
). It wasn't even 'broken down' rather 'unsafe to drive', they recovered me back to Cheshire in a toasty-warm lorry Driver said it would have been £300-400 normally, the insurance was only £230 for the year! Also, this year, BAGS has been brought home from Hull (after th'Ring killed a d/shaft), Croft Race Circuit (recovered 2 days after a crash there, didn't have number plates on it or anything!
) and FCS at Rockingham, after cutting out on track... I won't say which nice service but, trust me, that's what they're there for!

Right, dropped the ECU off with Ben for him to send off and get sorted his end. Decided to keep the car here because a) Finding a trailor was a nightmare b) Ben's confident he can sort it without touching the car c) I have LOTS to do on it and some time off work.
Did a 600 mile round trip to pick up some goodies after I'd dropped it off so I'll write an update tommorrow!!
