Chris has a serious problem where he just cant leave the car alone even when its running perfectly. Its more of a problem with the owner not the car . Also he refuses to buy tools so he has pretty much built the car with tools which he has whittled from wood and bars of soap.

Can you not do pin out checks with the ECUs?

MrCapriScort

Needs a proper technician to have a look at it, probably something really stupid. As ever looking mint

Danny @ Enhanced Performance

iTrader: (3)

as i said on your other thread and a couple of others have said on this one i still think its the blue water temp sensor ...


cheers danny

jacko

mint car mate dont for the life of me know why you wauld get rid of it

pm me y7our address and ill post you a new blue senssor monday morning

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Cheers Jacko pm sent

But can someone explain how the blue sensor can play around with the way the car fires?

Cheers for all the advice

jacko

it makes the ecu think the engine is stone cold so makes it overfuel realy baddly and it will flood its self and can be bad enough to run out of exhaust usualy smokes realy bad when you can actualy get it to run

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Cheers for that jacko, seems logical

I know a ladd local who's had cossie's for years, he knows a yb inside and out

I'll get hold of him tomorrow and see if he can come and look or even advise over the phone - he's a good ladd/enthusiast

PM me what the problem is, your spec and what you've tried/replaced

I'll ring him tmorrow with the details and get back to you late afternoon/early evening tomorrow if he can help or advise

Chris ive had that problem with the petrol coming out the exhaust. I had put the ISCV on Inj one and caused it to overfuel & fire on 2. This was on a standard loom before i got one of Ryans.


Hope you sort it soon mate.

is has got to be doing your head in now mate

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Just a bit mate because i know it will be something simple but it's just finding it, like Adam says above i have lets say a SHIT tool collection as i spend all the money on the car then when it comes around to fixing i'm struck

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

can MSD give you the pin outs on there loom for the wast spart loom to make shower its as it should be . all so have you had all the plugs on the rocker cover so you can see them and then turned the key to see if they all fire

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

I'm gonna give this blue sensor a go first mate as the ECU has been visually checked and the board and chip tested. I'm starting to think the lads saying blue sensor maybe right.

Gav Diamond

iTrader: (6)

You will have fun with that one mate as its a bit of a pain to get at.
Worth a try though as its a cheap one to replace and can cause all sorts of problems.

Just out of curiosity when was the last time you changed all the sensors?

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

if you do go to do this blue sensor undo the hole fitting of the head and take the sensor out when its off the car as GAV said its a pane to do on the car

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

2009 apart from that blue one

Is it just easier to remove the inlet to get too as that comes off in 5 mins to save pissing on from underneath etc

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

it up to you mate as its only 2 allen bolts and 1 clip

If you have no joy mate, im in Cockermouth on Tuesday & could have a look?

Im no expert but 2 heads is better than one.

Stu @ M Developments

Quickly scanning the last couple of pages of this topic i would be looking at these, in this order.

1) Map sensor and pipe.
2) ECT Sensor
3) Phase and crank plugs not inverted?
4) ECU Babyboard / Chip encryption circuit failure.

Worst comes to worst James and I will come up with some diagnostics and look at it one night this week pal.

A quick way to check if it's a injector fully open is to take all the spark plugs out and crank the engine over if one is 100% the fuel will shot out the spark plug hole and hit the underside of the bonnet (it did with mine when no.1 was fully open due to the wiring being earthing out)

as I had said - blue temp sensor at the back of the head - is it properly conected withe the two pin plug ? as this was overfueling mine massively - to the extent black fuel coming thru the turbo and outlet gaskets !!! shat me self thinking the turbo was knackered.... its a pig to get at but well be a simple swap job and hey presto.....

good luck and keep the chin up - the hard bits done - only small starting probs now ..... as was mine but i know its massively fustrating...

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

iv just read wot STU put up you have not put the Phase and crank plugs on the rong ones have you

Spax

Very nice gesture

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

I'll give the blue sensor a go - i do have black coming out between the exhaust housing and downpipe, thought it was oil but not

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

As suggusted by Stu

Try the Phase and Crank plugs as thats easy to do and will take you seconds

Steve

gazm

yep and also itll stink of fuel - so you will prob need to change the oil in the engine mate also as it will be like water and full of fuel as was mine... changed it about 4 times ffs !!! mobil 1 an all !!!

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Really that much gets in???

Steve can you remind me quickly what the gaps should be

gazm

did in mine !!! - I had cranked it over and over so many times in the end that i fucked the starter up and the battery flat - so hooked it up to charger and melted the starter live wire!! like you know - when it goes pear shaped - everything seems to follow suit !!!

if you can get at a little oil from the engine - without draining - see if its thin and smells of petrol - if its new oil ion the block that is .....

adam151082

Shame to be havin all this trouble. Did you get the wing mirrows on yet?

Richie.

iTrader: (5)

I'm having similar problems on mine as well


Removed engine complete with loom from Shonkey when i scrapped him. Fitted into new shell and now only fires on 1+4 or 2+3, never all four together.

With spare plugs in HT leads they all spark when cranking, but then with the leads connected to engine it drops to 2 cylinders when it runs


1. Checked on IAW and no faults indicated
2. Coilpack changed
3. New CPS fitted and gapped at 0.6mm
4. Swapped ignition amps
5. Phase sensor on cam so not connected wrong.
5. SECS monitor reading correct ACT + ECT temps.
6. Tried it with another L8 fitted with wasted spark board and problem still there.





I'm close to setting it on fire

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Not yet mate, i didn't know which backing plate i wanted standard or carbon but in the end i choose standard but to be modded so at the bodyshop, hoping to get them back thisd week and fitted

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

Pointless is you would of set the car on fire by then

Steve

Stu @ M Developments

iTrader: (12)

CPS = 0.8mm
Phase = 0.3mm
