Project Manual

[LiamT4]

Funny enough mate yes, Smithy popped in for an hour yesterday and finished off a bit of wiring and lucky enough i had an early finish yesterday so picked up the "young mechanic" and he helped me bleed the brakes and fit the inlet mani, cheers Jack

So tomorrow only got to do the dp up and put a couple of pipes on and the fluids and it's turn the key time and pray

Hope all goes well, want to see it when we go trax.

I did look for you mate but did'nt have my camera on me, basically the whole off the loom for the auto box has been cut off and just 2 wires remain which are plugged into the little plug on top of the box, i said to my mate when he done it are you sure about this as it looked brutal but within 5 mins and 1st time it started, will get some pics tomorrow for you.

A couple of pics for you mate, under the end of the auto loom covered in tape im sure a couple of wires were joined together but you will have to check what ones on that link posted earlier, i did'nt want to undo it for obvious reason lol.

[Jamest5r]

Nice one James looking fairly "normal" under there again. Bad luck with the non starting, are you still getting fuel? If not maybe fuel injector relay fault?

[leet5r]

are all the relays plugs in ontop of the rad m8

[T5frankie]

no joy today james? whats the plan then mate?

Yeah plenty of fuel.

Yep.


This effing car always throw's an electricl fault everytime the block's been in and out and they are bloody hard to trace, last time it was a loose realy up under the steering wheel, time before that it was the crank sendor plug connection but on the loom side so no matter how many different sensor's i tried they did'nt work cut the plug off the loom and connected a different one and fired 1st time, these faults were solved by a very talented auto elec mate of mine not me lol but the gits abroad somewhere at the moment.

[Jamest5r]

A quick update, still waiting for my auto elec mate and a code reader to appear so i thought i would have another play and see if anything come's up, changed the crank sensor for another one i had lying around(4th one ive tried)but still nothing, so shut the garage door and on my way out lent through the window just for one last try and left it cranking for about 10secs and the bitch fired up, i nearly ££££ myself with shock lol, left it running for about a min they shut if off and had a quick check around the bay and under and all looked good so went to start it again and no start..bitch, left it a while crankrd again and it fired after about 10secs of cranking again??? left it running for a while and all seems good a bit noisey but it is a new engine so i hope everything quieten's down.

Wont start again now so could i really have 4 duff crank sensor's?

[JelT5]

Oh that sounds more positive mate. Glad she's fired up and run now! If they were all 2nd hand crank sensors then it's quite possible they were all shagged...

[JT]

ooooo nearly there!!!!

[T4Rick]

Keep it coming

[The Flying Moose]

Very interesting that James, out of interest have you removed the HT lead and looked for a spark again, Im wondering if there is a "delayed" spark somehow?

[Jamest5r]

Well i bit the bullet and forked out £30 for a new crank sensor.....still the same, starts when the ££££ing bitch feels like it, twice out of 20 tries left it running for 10mins on one of the starts then gave up, seriously considering dropping the whole front end into the saffy might be quicker

Edit got 4 crank sensor's for sale lol.
