What next ????
 

Has some of you might remember over the last few weeks the scoobs not been very well was running a bit rough,jerking cutting out,was advised it was most likely coilpacks...


So i have

Changed Coilpacks (New)
Spark Plugs
Fuel filter

i thought i had cracked it,as for a few days there was nothing at all,Only now it seems to have come back,she gets to running temp,so gauge says,but is still a bit jerky at times and cut out compleatly twice yesterday,but engine had'nt been running long,but once has been running about 20 minutes and engine is quite hot,theres no stopping her,and she drives like a dream,for the rest of the day,with nothing

Any idea's

Maybe needs the map checking?

Re: What next ????
 

Ok,without sounding Blonde Why? :oops: and who best to do that?

Re: What next ????
 

could be air flow sensor. have a word with scott.

Re: What next ????
 

As Tone said MAF or Lamda was going to be my answer.But my brother had a few problems like this on his 95 wagon and turned out to be the water temp sensor.

Re: What next ????
 

If I rememebr right you have either changed of tried MAF, Lambda, Plugs a Coil Packs.

The lamda is unlikley to be the cause as it is only used at idle and cruise, the MAF is used for fuelling above 0psi boost and/or 3000rpm.

Isn't the car already chipped as I recall you claiming 300BHP.
If it is chipped (not one of mine, AFAIK) then it may be the socket that the chip is fitted to is badly soldered or developed a dry joint.

I have seen Jap ECU with Prova and Mines chips/adaptors and the soldering could be done better by my 8 year old....nah..make it my 5 year old son.

Worth popping the ECU out and checking.

taking to trace today when she poped in. sounds cranksharft sensor as the is also a poor starting from hot,also speed sensor code was on ecu.i have lent her some sensors to try.

big Question is has lee managed to fine the sensor on the gearbox :lol:

Re: What next ????
 

Sounds exactly like what problem we have on our wagon, I have removed the crankshaft sensor on front of engine and cleaned it, and the sensor on the right by the air con pump, had 3 coil packs fitted, new spark plugs and fuel filter and air filter. Still waiting to test the restart when warm now :doubleup:

Re: What next ????
 

Speed sensor , what a nightmare :splat: Took months of changing stuff , then Tone did it one night in about 5 minutes :doubleup: Been fine ever since

Re: What next ????
 

Yes he did you cheeky :whistle:

Re: What next ????
 

How have you got on? Is everything running fine now?

Re: What next ????
 

How has been since you changed the crank sensor hun

Re: What next ????
 

Re: What next ????
 

Its probably getting as annoying as ours is, we will be changing both the cam and crank sensor and maf and then see what happens, if nothing then lambda and idle control next, bloody scoobs sometimes :fool: :doubleup:
