if you are able to turn it off with the key its alternator side of it
ok so i fitted he new alternator today and after much dicking around i got it running fairly ok.
the fans are clicking in and out randomly ( wired into the ecu ) sometimes even when the ecu is powered off so theres deffo some issues .
however.. it does now turn off on the key.
starting it is a ball ache now ...itll run on for a good few seconds with the fuel relay fuse out lol
when i did get it running eventually i had to take a load of fuel out of the part of the Map where it was hovering ( im no tuner).and it sort of ticked over ok for 10 mins. Im getting afrs of 11:1 etc.
anyway..some progress at least. Deffo some electrical gremlins but also now it seems to be more about the map as well.
after running for 10 mins at idle i shut it off on the key, went to restart and it wouldn't . So i went indoors and had a beer.
