DId it start up or just turn over 16 times?

 

started up but the power light flashed 16 times and the engine sounds lumpy

I Think the power Light Flashing is indicative of a fault code on the auto box.... Jeff@zedworld can confirm if that is correct

Think Tony as almost right, it's to do with the auto box but it's not for an error, can't for the life of me remember what it is though................

Paul is this you?

the auto light is flashing coz the auto ecu is still in place and its looking for the autobox which isnt there.

the running lumpy prob a poor connection somwere etc.

daz

Thanks for the replies guys... will be checking the spark plugs n connections to em 2moro hopefully. Thats what it seems like, cause its 'popping/chugging' under acceleration and is idling rough

yes its me could the the lumpy bit be a spark plug gone

it most likely just a connection problem. i dought its a plug.

chect the connectors on the coils and injector plugs.

it will be somthing simple im sure mate.

daz

Will do, no doubt you're right, she drove all the way home beautifully, cheers matey :D

Sorted!

 

Checked all the plugs and connections and seem to have had a problem on the 5th plug/connection... running like a dream again... thanks for the replies guys.

 

And a big thanks to Daz for a superb job :D

To stop the power light flashing remove the redundant auto box ecu.

hi, i have just bought a 300 tt which came with a reciept for 1700 quid from zedworld for a new engine, belts etc. all this work was done only 5000 miles ago but just over a year ago. could anyone tell me if it will need to go back for a "check up". to be truthful i know very little about these great cars, as i have had rs's for the past 1 years. don't even know when service schedule's are! could anyone help please. thanks in advance.
