PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME

cossie has developed a problem, when driving on a small amount of throttle its fine,
but, when i give it some boot, it starts to run weird, boost goes all over the place,
and get this....... my rev counter goes mental, i'll be doing 3500-4000rpm
and the rev counter goes of the clock, the actual engine revs stay the same.
thought it might be ignition coil, so i tried a new one, no change.
any ideas guys....... pretty please

GOD

i know the actuator is soft, so that might be the boost prob,
but not the rev counter prob

please help me, please please please

you have to check the connectors at the back above the engine. give them a good clean and connect them real tight. i had this to....it turned out that the inside of the connectors are a little wide (because of the age).

good luck

God, have you searched the forums for previous posts ? I remember someone else having similar problems - dunno how it was fixed m8.

Good luck.

wimwerf

maybe you have to buy a new -31 actuator from garrett.

GOD

what do they look like, i have no idea about cossies,
i know my rs turbo like the back of my hand but not the cossie

GOD

the connectors i mean

wimwerf

you can't miss the connectors. they are four of them. if you see my pic below. you see the blue hoses above the camcover. behind the hoses there are hanging the connectors. the connectors are hanging on the same place on your car.

GOD

they are all tight, car still not working right

alright jon its bob that sold you the q plate turbo! hows it going! does your rev counter shoot off the clock then go down to 0????? i had this prob with my car! was told it was the distibutor phase sensor(the wires break down with age) or tdc sensor! so changed both! they cost about Ł20 each! sorted the problem! Also theres a sensor on the inner wing beside the battery remove this and clean the terminals! hope this helps!

GOD

i'll try that then bob

wimwerf

what about the amalvalve, throttle position sensor

maybe you could go to an expert to read your computer.

GOD

i thought it was the amal valve to start with, but was told by ford mechanic that it could not be that,
but i still suspect it might be

bob s2zvh

the distibutor phase sensor is actually in the distributor!!!! the wires on this are very hard to see! your problem sounds like the problem i had which turned to be the this phase sensor!

GOD

you'll never guess what the problem was............


a manky rotten air filter, swapped it for a nice new induction kit, what a difference.
thanks anyhoo lads

tdc sensor is at fault ...this is also a pickup for the rev counter ,the other sensor in the dizzy just tells the ecu where the pistons are
