hi everyone ive nearly finished my 300 rebuild, rewire and bodywork,

replaced the temp sensor and gauge sensor today, ran the car for about 15 mins not driving it just letting it idle because its in my garden,

seems to be running a bit high on the revs so i tryed to adjust, but when i put the air con on the revs raised again, eventually i gave up with this and decided to relocate the dett sensor as this was the only fault that i was getting code {34).

relocated it now engine sounds as if its running on 4/5 cylinders, totally pissed off now as this was the last thing that i had to do.engine is hot from previous engine run , getting code {55} but running like a bag of sh*t...

 

please help ive had enough.......

 

:mad::mad:

could be the MAF mate

come on guys any more ideas ?

Maybe dodgy ptu wiring where it bends up or the connectors might need a clean, coil packs, injector connectors! they tend to corrode overtime and sometimes even pop off as the clips have a tendency to break. Just sounds to me like the typical behaviour after a rebuild or a engine swap, probably something very simple, cheap advice I know lol.

yea check the PTU,

 

also check the connections on the injectors!

 

ive jsut done an engine swap, had started, but only on couple cylinders,

 

its taken me ages to narrow it down to the conenctions on the injectors, they get heavily corroded.

 

 

can check them with a noid lighht. as mine were so bad, i replaced them.

ive just replaced the wiring loom also so it cant be the connections unless its the injectors themselves, went out and started it tonight and it seemed to run ok just wouldnt idle on its own, could it be something to do with the hot engine last night that led to the bad idiling, was hoping to get it in for mot soon, fk...

how do i test for boost leak ?

ive also ordered a new ptu coming soon..be better just buying another car lmfao..woulve been cheeper..

Hi well thanks for your help cleaned all injectors tps,cas,colis,took plugs out and cleaned and gave them a rub,tightened all hose clamps ,then found that the maf in my car was faulty the garage mustve been messing around with it,no gauze damp and dirty inside it and on removing black cover plate found it to be full of corrosion and various parts of pcb damaged,

replaced the maf and now running much better almost 100%, i think ive got a leak from the metal tube that goes from one bank to the other does this need a gasket or some sort of sealer on refitting, i think its were the air leak is...

once again thanks for your advise...

There should be some rubber o-rings sealing the balance bar, mate - It's been a long time since i removed mine, but from memory, one large and one small on the left hand side (from the drivers seat!) and one large on the right! These are the only 'gaskety' type of things you have there :)

thats great mate there is none of these in the balance bar i did notice that there were spaces for something just not sure what, well there you go the garage at their best again, can i use something else or must it be these rubber type washers/seals.

get some pics up mick. Hoepfully get you at a meet sometime

Some gasket sealer would do as a stop gap, but you should get some o rings long term.
