Followed both the write ups by AlFo (FAQ 3rd July 2007 17:17) for adjusting TPS and then the Base idle. TPS set to 0.46V. Then, Using the ConZult to monitor revs while adjusting the base idle switching on and off and removing the batterery in and out to get at the Base Idle Screw. However, when i put the yellow plug back and restarted her, she idled at about 600rpm and then cut out. When i restarted she's now back up to 16/1650 rpm....When i select the idle adjustment in ConZult she drops back to 900rpm .....Leaving the battery off for 30 mins to re-set the ECU, but anyone got any other thoughts???

As in picture... Not an electronic expert... But fuse smelled burned and felt like it was broken... Is it possible to just change the wire on the fuse or to I have to get a new one? And will the cars electronics work without that fuse??

I was next to you in the Black one. Gave you a wave when I went past.

Hi Can anyone tell me how to access the passenger turbo coolant hose. I don't really fancy doing a bypass, sounds more complicated. The only problem I've got is that there is a tare in the rubber hose right next to the jubilee clip and is leaking water pretty fast. If anyone can, could I get step by step instructions on how to do this. The easiest way the better and of course what tools I would need. I've been 2 weeks without my Z now and I'm getting some serious withdrawl symtoms. :hyper: Can't wait to get back behind the wheel again! Thanks

Jim, Just thought I'd update you, just had a look in the tank and discovered the little Tea bag type filter on the pump was tottally clogged with a brown shite!!! The stuff was hard and when it dried out just crumbled away. Cleaned it all off and wiped tank around but it is really rusty inside. I can only assume this is where it stood for 4 years with no petrol in the tank and the damp air has got in. Worth looking at before spending loads of money,its easy to get out, this would explain starvation and my noisy pump. Its a lot quiter now its not struggling but I haven't tried it on the road yet to see if its cured. It won't help anyway. Also found leak on fue…

For those that may be interested in travelling to Cornwall. This is a copy of thread placed in South West Meeting. 22/23 September is Run What Ya Brung weedend. Event takes place at RAF Portreath near Redruth and is over both the Sat and Sun. This might be a good venue for the Cornish meet (Sunday 23 most preferable) and an opportunity for some of our more daring members to push their cars up the drag strip - no pun intended as I know most cars were being repaired at the last meet in Exeter. Although no "official" notification has been given, it has been advertsied on the local motorbike site and also on the South West Scoobies site so suggest it is a starter. F…

Have just changed my alternator. Filled up with water and so on. Connected the battery. Flat battery So had another car and hooked up the wires from each car. Did hook up ground first and the + last on my Z. Got a small spark. But instanly as I had hooked up the + there was smoke around the battery. Checked the fusible link. The only weird thing I could find was that the fuse to the left with the wire smelled burned.... Everything is black when I turn the key in the ignition. Only thing that work is the main beams. But that is also wrong since it should be normal driving lights when lights is turned on. Other than that everything is BLACK:( Any ideas on where to…

Right i'm looking to wire up my front and rear lights to flash with the indicators when the alarm activates/deactivates or is set off. I know i'm going to need a relay, but need a bit of help with what pins to use on the rlay, iirc i'll need an 'or' type relay as in alarm powered 'or' switch powered, is this correct? is it possible? i open the floor up...... Cheers Neil

Ive just got my 99 spec bumper/spoiler and headlamp scoop panel back from the spray shop, it looks blooming lush, BUT, its the wrong shade of yellow. I took the car to a paint specialist (supposedly) to get a match, and although they said it was a pig to get an exact match the closest they could find was Hello Yellow. Put the headlamp panel up against the car and its a mile out, great colour, just wrong. The bodyshop told me to go back to the paint specialist and have a moan to get some money back. The paint specialist told me to go back to the sprayer as he should have done a sample piece to check it was a match to the car. Seems to me they are passing the buck to…
