Well Noz sent me a connector for my injector, so decided to change it over, started the car up, and its even worse than before i changed it, although the number 1 cylinder now has a non dodgy injector, for some reason cylinder 4 has decided to stop firing, so far checked the injector (ear test) thats firing away happy as larry, changed the coil pack over, still the same, and tested the coil pack spark, which was sparking away happily against the plenum, arrrgh, about to go out and change the spark plug for a known working one, hopefully that will sort the bugger out.

Nvm, found the issue, damn wiring loom is falling to bits, its too frail now, need to change this as soon as possible before damage starts happening to the engine.

you have been putting off for 6 months now!

I had that problem the loom is years old when i got a new loom from states car ran so good til the headgasket went the joys of Z s

Not sure how you have come to that conclusion, not sure ive owned the car that long and only had the injector issue for around 2 months lol

this is the same problem i had with mine last year

 

ended up making a new loom up for her

 

yet to fit it yet oo and put some of the connectors on lol

I had the same issues replacing all my injector and coil pack plugs..worse thing you can do with these old looms is start un-winding the black factory tape:death: took me weeks to sort some kind of calm out and no missing

hrm, I was wondering about doing that and whether its cheaper than buying a new loom complete.

Wide arch enough said lol

Im so glad the first thing i hve done to my new z was to change the loom :-)

I meant the loom change. I remember you saying a JAE that you needed to get it done.

yeah that was before i realised just how bad it was, now wondering if i can change the loom with out taking the dash out completely to get to that metal plate that covers the loom going through the fire wall, need to be able to change it in 3.4 hours

I got no further with mine. The pedals are in the way so need to get them out somehow, no time until Saturday do look at it again, but that will give my knuckles the to recover a bit

trust me, you can get that fuse box out with removing the pedals, well my interior is in bits, just need to get that damn aircon box out the way, but its giving me issues, doesnt help that its now freezing again out side, think i might just cut through the damn Aircon pipes and remove it that way. found a neat little security thing, if i unplug my boost controller the car fails to start lol

Would i be able to reconnect the tagra drain pipe with the pedal in place?

yeah, remove the front drivers seat so you can lay down in the car. makes it much easier and more room

its on paper cheaper to buy a new loom with connectors but due to me running link i making a custom loom without all the garbage

That was the first thing out.

 

after i stopped yesterday i locked the keys for not only my zed but also my Clio in the dam car! At last i have rac home cover

Yep the whole project lol

Hmm my car has mysteriously fixed its self? sounded like a bag of nails yesterday having fiddled with the wiring loom, today was dreading driving it with out the time to sort it out, got in and it purred like a kitten? :blink:
