850 t5 difficult to start when cold

[960kg]

Been looking at Engine Harness and part numbers differ between 4 and 5 door!! why?...who knows!

You have to keep an eye on chassis numbers

[theflyingbrick]

Good luck with that, I hope it's not that orange t5 on flea bay as I spoke to him yesterday and within a 3 minute conversation he changed his mind 3 times about things and mods.... And I can't get a HPI report for it.

i asked him whats been done to get it to 300bhp.........he said i dont know where just traders!!! lmao lovely colour though

Try finding another 850 as good as your's

YOU! have given me the last bit of inspiration tonight and may have just saved her, I have Hard wired the Cam and Crank sensors to the ecu, and she starts as she should. Ive tidy it all up and left her outside for the night.

If she starts in the morning after being left out all night i'm going to run her about over xmas and see how it is.

If she doesnt start I will continue to break her. Sorry if this has put peeps out who have asked for bits but i really dont wont to break this car! REST assured she will be broken if she dont start in the morning. and mats and panels etc which peeps are intersted in will still be up for sale.

I Promise i will update this Thread at 9.00am tomorrow so peeps know

So James you may have just saved her

I'll be logging on at 0900 Gav, fingers crossed that she starts, NO ONE on the forum wants this car broken mate.

If she does start, and it was down to James, we all owe him a pint !

Just to ask have you ran a meter ,ecu plug to engine plugs is there a high ohms reading.
Also are any of the pins / connectors in the plugs look bent damaged,have you opened up the loom the full length as they some times fit splices inside it can be a problem if water gets in ,was it left outside with bonnet up water gets in then gets corrosion in then freezes and parts the copper strands in the wires.
I do hope you can fix it ,as it's a nice motor.

Hoping to have a good start toz wiv the good news

Answer : Yep

Pins: Pushed them all up in the connectors tbs, Have done away with the Cam n Crank wiring as this apeared to be shot. I've wired them directly to the ecu including the pulsing lead to the coil. She started tonight the best she ever has done. finger's crossed.

This car was scope last weak by a prof auto electrician. No fault found, other than a hazie crank sensor, This has bin replaced, and hard wired to ecu since. ive left no stone unturned.

You'll be leaving soon then, if you want to be at High Wycombe by 9.

Well, She has sat outside all night and its been chucking it down to. Went out side started her up... She took around 7 turns

So, i'm going to give her a reprieve run her about over xmas and NOT break her just yet we will see how it goes. Sorry to all those who were interested in parts.

[Kingsford G]

Don`t be sorry Gav.I`d b gutted to have parts from her where is some don`t care.Glad she`s on the road

[V70 Graham]

Good news Gav, there is obviously something still not quite right, glad your sticking with her though.

Thats 7 cranks/revolutions which she has always done so hopefully all sorted, obviously the slight raise in compression wont help either.
fingers crossed

Think your being a bit over kind there mate but ill take it lol

There are very few sorted 850's around nowaday's and im a big fan of them so hate seeing them broken, YOU done the hard work we on here just threw some idea's out there and gave some morel support.

Think 960kg deserves a mention learn't alot from him during this thread

[merc85]

960kg certainly has helped, Not sure if the car is right or not tbh, Although she is starting but doesnt seem much of a pattern to how many times it takes to crank and fire. Only time will tell i suppose im leaving it outside in the bad weather to see what happens i need this car to be reliable and trustwrothy as ive lost all confindence in her.

[Kingsford G]

Just chill,give more time to yr family,if she is ok than great if not wiv a fresh mind after the new year get her sorted.U`ve seen how much rubbish ones out there as no 1 selling a good one.

[theflyingbrick]

im glad its sorted gav....if it helps my dads never starts the same way twice,i reckon along as it starts then sod it lol just enjoy driving it and dont stress too much about the crank count
