Spoke to some Renault techies today and they are suggesting I check the APS (MAP?) sensor, so that's next on the list.
Getting pretty fed up now and if it isn't sorted this weekend I shall be putting it into dealers next week!
No, to be honest I've discounted fuel as a problem now as the car has burnt off a quarter of the full tank that I put in after she conked out. To be honest I think the RAC man was stuck for ideas with his limited OBD reader.
If it subsequently emerges that fuel is to blame then I shall be back in touch with the garage.
I've not read all the way through this but when you say it won't idle or acceleration does it just refuse to do either completely and die or does it missfire/splutter?
It missfires and splutters till you get past I would say 2.5k-3k then it will accelerate fine.
On idle it stutters all the time and the engine is shuddering and the exhaust pops.
Still smells as though it's running very rich when you stand at the rear of the car and is still turning my tail pipes a nasty colour of black :dapprove:
If you rev the car whilst idle then drop your foot off the pedal the revs drop right down below 500 and it will often cut out, but sometimes it regulates itself and will pick back up to around 1100.
Are both o.e lambdas the same? Ie could you not swap pre/post cat round? Being as the second looks if the cat is working it will only bring on the emissions light?
Also could you not check for continuity at the plug and to the ecu to rule out broken wires?
Yeah both exactly the same. They can be swapped no problems.
I am just sat in the car now with the RS Tuner hooked up, the ignition is on but the car is not started. I am getting very sporadic readings from the following parameters;
Throttle pedal limp home input
Throttle pedal track 1 input
Throttle pedal track 2 input
All three are reading up and down from 14.43 to 14.51 and they are flashing green/red simultaneously.
O2 front sensor reading a constant 409.92mV and O2 rear reading exactly the same.
