Urgent help needed

[Munchkin]

I've just fitted a polished 182 plenum to my 182. All the pipes reconnected correctly. Gently cleaned the throttle body while it was off. and replaced the gasket.

Started the car ok but when I press the throttle there is no increase in revs and the electronic fault warning light comes on - box with zig zag lines in it!

Can anyone help me out as to what I have done wrong asap?

Thanks

could be loose connection somewhere try wiggle'in wires?

 

[pete_clio]

there was a trhead by a guy who had this problem a few days ago, have a look for it. it was a connection or soemthing that was "hidden"

 

[gregwilliams333]

ave you put all the leads back in the right order

 

[Munchkin]

Right I have solved the first problem - the throttle body connector hadn't clicked home

Now it runs/responds to the throttle and the above warning light has gone off but now the engine symbol is illuminated?!?

Is it possible that it has logged the fault and needs clearing??

 

[Munchkin]

Will disconnecting the battery for 10 mins do it?!?

 

[Munchkin]

That didn't work

Would it work at all if it was a 172 plenum?!?

or is it simply a logged fault now?

The fault will probably be logged Joe, have you done the dashboard diagnostics check as you can reset stored faults in that?
I'm not sure on the whole disconnecting the battery thing but personally I would give it at least 30 mins to see if it cleared.

 

[Munchkin]

No Daz - I don't know how to do the check - I will do a search now - thanks

 

[Da]

No worries, it's in the FAQ I believe? Posted by edde, who else! lol!

*edit* see here Joe.

 

[Munchkin]

I'll try that in the morning

If that doesn't clear it will it be ok to drive with it on?

 

[Da]

Yes, it shouldn't be an issue as long as the car's responding correctly and hasn't gone into limp mode?
Can you clarify which light is lit?

 

[Munchkin]

It would appear to be the exhaust gas monitor warning light!

I'm going to do the diagnostic dash check now.

Could that be lit if it is the wrong plenum?!? Everything is connected as it should be

 

[Munchkin]

It showed a t--- which I have now cleared but the exhaust gas monitor warning light is still on (2nd light up on the right). Car is running a little rough now too.

Is there something I can clean/check?
Is it worth me putting the old plenum back on?

 

[Munchkin]

Removed everything - checked the part number - reconnected it all and the light is still on - bite the bullet and book into Renault?

 

[RichMcc]

Thats bizzar... are you sure you've connected all the breathers correctly?
How does the car actually run? Does it idle at the correct speed?

 

[Munchkin]

Driven it to work - car runs fine - the garage doing my service tomorrow have diagnositcs and said they will have a look. I checked all connections again this morning and all fine!

 

[Munchkin]

Logged fault cleared now and light has gone off - thanks for the advice fellas
