As above as mine is running like a bag of shite and could do with swapping a couple of sensors to see if it makes a difference!


Cheers craig.

Rather than spend a lot of time sensor swapping, have you tried putting a error code reader on it?

craig2016

yes mate have tried the latest snap-on one, and it just wouldn't give any reading, even got the snap on guy to try and he phoned his technical helpine and even they fell out with the thing, so I put a new air flow meter on it and it still runs but like a bag of shite. so rather than buy all new sensors would be easier to try and swap a few over.

It's eec-iv enhanced 3 digit so it should work with any scanner that'll read, say, a '94 Mondeo. e.g. Crypton ACT II

craig2016

don't have access to one though.

rapidcossie

when you say bag of shite what do you mean?

no power?

doesnt idle?


uses fuel or oil?

craig2016

difficult to start and once started misses and backfires.

sailorbob

Is it chipped?

craig2016

yes it has a graham goode 305 bhp chip.

Cheers Craig

sailorbob

Have you tried removing the chip to see if it makes any difference?

Might be the Edis ignition module, mate...
These are said to cause what you are experiencing if they are fooked...

I have had this problem 3 times now,first time was a coil pack,it still worked but like yours was difficult to start and missed when running etc.Next time was due to a combination of plug gaps and air filter and the third time turned ot to be water in the fuel filter.Best keep small turbo standard really for reliability as they dont like you fookin about with them too much

Stoo

Things are good mate, how's you? Be great to see the car when it's finished, you've put alot of work into it. Hope the fault gets sorted.

Tac's my mate, had the grey 2wd Saff. Andy fitted all the stage 3 stuff to it
