PS I've a tiny little stone chip next to my reg so I know how you feel mate[:'(]

[Dalthegooner]

Thats bollox mate [:@] I can't believe your bad luck! Maybe you should change mechanic, hopefully it will change your luck as well []

Been told its throttle sensor so hopefully 2mo with a new one were sorted? Its reading full throttle on start up so now wont start. When it was driving it was getting richer as it warmed up?? Sound familar?

[prodrive tony]

Got my new dvla documents today so J555PAN is going on as well as some replica wr1 alloys next week. Keep the faith and mod it more I say!!

Typical Bloke,  Car dont run properly but hey its got a decent set of wheels and a smart reg[]

Have you been driving round temple hill recently?

[prodrive tony]

Hi Scuzz, yeah thats me.  Give us a wave.  I live near the co-op in Joyce Green.

[prodrive tony]

What model you bought there Dal?? You going to the Wharf??

I had this the other night. It was a boost hose that came off so the maf was not seeing the right amount of air as the flow was interupted.

The car would restart, but felt like it had 10bhp.

Cheers Hol.  What have you done to your engine mod wise??  Who does your work??

[prodrive tony]

Ok, no visable airleaks, maf changed no better, throttle sensor changed no better. Getting a very lumpy engine and no more than 2000 revs max. Very black sooty exhaust smoke?? Getting fuel pressure checked has a new walbro pump?? Thanks.

Intercooler hose or something similar, it has happened to me three times exact same symptoms!

[prodrive tony]

Hello Tony

Sorry to hear your having all this s**ty luck with the [au] lateley m8, hope ya get it sorted soon, and the only popping and

banging are sweet sounding ones.

 

[prodrive tony]

Cheers mate..just waiting on a call to hear its fixed....but its not ringing.

[prodrive tony]

Blokes changed everything now and come to conclusion its ECU??  If anyones got a spare for sale or borrow let me know?? Dont really wanna change it and its no better. Thanks peeps.

i would check the hoses to make sure there isnt a leak, becuase under normal idle the hoses wont expand but with some boost the hoses could expand and there could be a slight hole or crack on the hoses, get a boost gauge and tell us a reading

[prodrive tony]

Thanks mate, it would idle ok though mate wouldnt it??.  It hardly runs, cuts out and i have have a very black sooty exhaust??

[Wee Jock]

You have black suity smoke because you have popped a hose, too much air getting into the car, maf sees this then dumps extra fuel in hence the black smoke! As long as its black smoke its nothing major!

[prodrive tony]

Got an ECU thats of same car as mine and already chipped ....Result.

[granby]

So is it OK now

[prodrive tony]

No mate, waiting for ecu fitting on monday. Probably make no difference. At least the ecu's chipped if it doesnt cure it.

[Wee Jock]

So is it OK now

Mibees he would like to buy a 20g?
