I cannot get this car going.

 

In fact ever since it came back from Grasshopper it has run like a nail and wouldn't even run above 3,000 rpm. The airflow meter was checked out and it was put down to knackered engine loom. New injector loom, Injectors and ECU chip and it just floods like a drunk on a binge. Check Chip not blown and find spark disappearing.

 

Changed PTU, coilpacks and cleaned all terminals it fired and ran then stopped. Back to no spark and flooding its tits off.

 

Anybody near Warrington got a Z diagnostics like Dannys who can come and see what the fook is going on because this car has taken root at dp.

 

Totally ready to take a sledge hammer to it.

 

Somebody help

Checked the timing?

 

What about water temp sensor?

Water pump sensor supposed to be brand new, Timing!! how do I set it up? Crank angle sensor?

mark have you checked the fuel pressure regulator ?? and throttle position sensor

Mark on the top water inlet pipe going into block is 2 sensors, check the left hand one is okay, both sensor and connector as this can make her run rich.

Timing can be done by using a HT lead looped in the no.1 cylinder coil pack and turning the crank angle sensor very slightly if it's not 15 degrees.

Rc are just around the corner from DP and have worked on quite a few Zeds, i know DP have asked Hi-teq in the past for advice when working on the odd Zed.

cheers

They went bump.

Ouch! That's bad news. I know we have a traders forum but it might be worth setting up some sort of FAQ which basically contains a list of reputable Z specialists who we don't think are likely to go belly up if ppl think this is a good idea? (Sorry, somewhat off-topic).

TBH I do not thing that Grasshoper or any other garage for that matter set out with the intention of going bust sometimes shite happens and its out of your control thats what running a business is all about , also how do you know if a business is sound in order to be able to make the above judgement , there are a lot of business which look like there doing exceptionally well when in fact there not , also bare in mind due to the tax laws in this country in makes no sense to keep profit in the bank but to run in the red as you pay less tax this way the downside is that it does not take much to send you under

Some of what you say is true. However I've run my own business for 9 years and you do have a duty to your customers and your self to ensure that you insure against bad debt, theft, accidental damage, + all the usual liability's and officers and directors liability will even cover you or your staff against just plain cocking up weather its willful or just idiocy. Also i don't think for a minute that GPS wanted my car cocked up, but circumstances more to do with my concern that It I left my car there any longer it my become an asset of a liquidator or underwriter made me take the car before it was thoroughly tested.

 

The thing I want to know though is how do I download this online manual so I can print it off.
