Hi

 

If anyone is taking a laptop and conzult to Billing would you mind hooking it up to me zed to help diagnose my possible TPS/autobox troubles?

 

Thanks in advance :)

 

Pete

what probs are you having pete? im only asking as im also having probs with power mode constantly switching and holding gears for too long.

Hello Pete,

 

If I end up making it to Billing, then yeah I'll bring mine.

When starting up the Power button flashes 16 times :confused:

 

When driving the engine note sounds whiney and holds 2nd gear for ages. Kickdown only works intermittantly. When booting it the gears change upward too soon ie about 5000 revs.

 

I think the TPS connector wire was broken when fitting new PCV hoses, I've got a new one but want to confirm the TPS signal is what is upsetting the autobox, before I get the wire cutters and soldering iron out and botch it before Billing ;)

 

i've tried the autobox diagnostic upteen times but cant get it to work :confused: The power light just flashes 16 times agin, half way through the procedure :rolleyes: :confused:

 

Cheers

 

Pete

Yep - I'll be selling them from the DTA-motorsport stand (next to SE Nissan & opposite the 300zx.co.uk plot - I think). Will have one to demo so time permitting can hook it up to your car to have a look see!

 

Cheers!

An update on my problems: The conzult at Billing confirmed the TPS was the fault (Thanks Jeff :), and Danny for the offer on the day :) )

 

Went to John Dixon's to fit rear suspension and play with the new TPS and wiring. When the new TPS was on, the autobox fault was still there - so must be the wiring we thought. A multimeter pointed to a problem with the loom wiring to the TPS :(

 

First of all tried the ECU end, wiggled the loom-ECU connector and *click* - the revs immediately change note and drop to normal idle! Woohoo! :D:D Car runs brilliant now, no power light flashing or odd gearchanges. And the ALC works too :D:D

 

So check your ECU connection :o :o

 

And a big thanks to JD for the work, again!!:)
