when accelarating slowly say 3rd or 4th at about 2000 odd revs car feels like it holding back,then when cruising can feel something not right,kind of like surges or something,boost gauge doesnt change,only noticed it after changing thermostat!but while back my knock sensor wires were damaged so i rewired it,any way of checking knock sensor?phase sensor gap ok,new plugs .65 gap,rotor arm and cap cleaned,running msd closed loop for 803's on standard baby board,t34 .48,so wondering if any thing to do with my dodgy wiring of knock sensor?if i boot it it seems ok but just not right then feel it when cruising.thanks col93saphcos

 

sounds like she needs an hours diagnostic time and a good setup,

but your a bit far from me

 

he would not make it back after he had been to you james!

 

strangley, other peoples cars seem to do ok with me, its only mine that causes problems

 

lol,everywheres miles from here!lol,away to set tps with the voltage,thinking now it wasnt doing it till i set tps with the resistances,getting wasted spark conversion after new year so if still no better will book her in somewhere,col93saphcos

 

tps voltage was .12v set it to .3v ,cleaned iscv and throttle body,set base idle,checked emmissions,seemed bit lean so set at .9 was .3 will see how she goes in a wee while,col93saphcos

 

Mate take it to MSD i went in october was only 3 1/2 hrs from perth.

 

un plug the knock sensor to see if its better, i wouldn't have tryed repairing it as your join will probly cause interference as the cable is screened. have you checked your fuel pressure? cleaned the crank senor? with the tps take the throttle housing off when the flap at the closed position bolt the tps sensor up. have you changed the ct sensor? these cause problems...

 

unplugged knock sensor,didnt make any difference,still disconnected,fuel pressure was ok in summer,and cps replaced then aswell,will get new coolant sensor and knock sensor,will give crank sensor clean before i go,do msd set up suspension as well?get the handling finished off at same time,it actually sounds better just idling,will go for blast and see,thanks col93saphcos

 

Don't think they do suspension set ups m8 but they will sort out any engine/running probs though.

 

it seems better now,dont think quite right tho,but might be better once coil packs on as distributor cap really could do with being replaced,if can get the handling sorted out il get her booked in to msd as soon as,be a fine blast!thanks again col93saphcos

 

It was this time last year i bought my wasted spark kit as it was missing like fuck with the coil .

 

sending ecu away on monday so with bit of luck have it all converted by the weekend,then i know that side of things is sorted out,im forever spraying coil connections and distributor cap to try and get rid of as much moisture as possible,think it has helped this year,well until i tinker about with bits!lol,cheers
