is there any way of bypassing the sensor temporarily to get the car running as i'll need to use it to go get the new sensor..... other thing is when i was out at it yesterday the fans weren't coming on when i was trying to start it but she still wouldn't start......... would the sensor show up as ecu fault code???

is there any way of bypassing it...for fault verification purposes???

i've never had warm starting issues with her its just since this cold snap she's started to play up... does anyone know how to test the crank sensor???? if the knock sensors gubbed would that stop my knocklink from working??? its been spliced into the original sensor for some reason but doesn't appear to be workin???

i'll defo check the maf and coilpack in the morning and hopefully come to a conclusion on what the problem is.... here's hoping all is well and easy enough to sort....... thanks for your help mate its much appreciated

me personally... i prefer the classics...they carry the original definition of a scoobie....most modern cars just don't look as sporty...

tell me about it...... is there any way i can test the possible causes??? i blame the weather...its only since we ave had the ****ty weather that i ave had problems.... she's a decent enuff car for her age... beginning to think that i've bought someother feckers problem... would any possible problems show up on diagnostics???? if so has anyone got an obd2 cable for laptop that i could kindly borrow for a small fee??

just noticed your response stuartyboy...would a faulty crank sensor cause similar problems????

yeah gus its been sitting for about a week....due to missus not being to keen on driving scoob in snow...lol. thing i cant get my head around is fact it started perfectly 2 days ago....20 mins later wouldn't start no matter what then half hr after that started / ran and boosted perfectly....now its jus givin me headache lol

yeah stewartyboy i was havin issues when coming on boost....... narrowed that down...if going through the gears and high revving all is fine then if just cruising in say 4th then put foot down she kangaroos... thing i have noticed is that with new problem when i turn ignition on.. (dash lights) the cooling fan comes on straight away.... from cold... if i put my foot on throttle slightly while cranking she tries even harder to start but won't.... i know feck all about scoobs hence reasom i'm asking.... anyone local with diagnostic cable i could borrow??..... i can hear the fuel pump on initial activation and car turns over but she just won't start..... that and when she won't start i'm getting cloud of unburnt fuel out of tailpipe....

Got a bit of a problem here... went out other day an me uk turbo started first turn of key as always.....let here heat up till cooling fan came on then went off... 20 mins later she wouldn't start for love nor money...was trying to though.... left her 30 mins went out and she started first turn of key...left her to heat up...cooling fan came on then went off..... then i went out this morning and she won't start same as last time she was trying too but wouldn't start......left her 1 hr and still won't start.... she's getting fuel and is trying to start but for what ever reason she just won't catch and keep running...any 1 any ideas??? all and any help will be much appreciated...

here's me thinkin wiv size of my new scoop that i was threatining low flyin birdies....lmao nice 1

true enuff ... you could have disturbed a dodgy lead while fitting BOV...

i've got a similar problem could be few things.... could be the dump valve. could be wastegate creep. or dirty/clogged boost control solenoid/problem with piping from said solenoid.. just out of curiosity..did it start playin up immediately after the dump valve was fitted??? if so i'd blame that

may well be mate...think its the breakers in mossend.... haven't used him yet but i have heard that his prices are pretty decent

mine so far is... uprated turbo FMIC REMAP some new wheels some body bits n bobs..new rear spoiler/bonnet vent etc.

where u based mate??? there's a scoobie breakers near me...scooby spares bellshill ml41qz 07877865792 he might be worth a try

Gutted for you mate... .hope you catch the spineless barsteward that did it an cut his feckin hands off..... better still give him the paint stripper treatment to his eyes..that'll do the trick... lol.

gonna try make the hillington meet...work depending she's running standard airbox/filter...... have noticed that she dumps pressure from 2000 rpm an upwards.....dunno whether that means anythin... ave heard that bailey valves are poor was thinkin forge valve?? anyone else run them??? i don't suspect the turbo cos if giving it beans from standard start all is fine its only when cruisin in low revs then flooring it she give the fluttering feeling also have knocklink fitted which doesn't appear to be workin??

t shirts etc still available???

tidy lookin motor mate...

dumb ass gets run over during saudi drift lmfao lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9LYPCaqf0E...feature=related

its a my98 uk turbo on a private plate (m++ tsb) its had a full engine rebuild using sti parts (pistons etc...) its got a full stainless with decat...still running cat behind turbo..other than that she's got a bailey dumpvalve. the guy i got it from said its running bout 240bhp but am just wondering whether thats true or not...i know that at the moment its overboosting (kangaroos like **** when coming on boost 3rd an 4th gear) but as i know feck all about scoobie turbo's am just wondering how to tell whether this is accurate or not.... anyone close to me (blantyre) who wouldn't mind coming round to mine and giving her a look over??? in exchange for cuppa??.... cheers lads CLASSICS RULE ..... LOL
