Hi guys,

Please excuse me if there is any misspelling in this post, cause it's my birthday and I'm drunk .

Anyway, because I was drunk tonight, two of my friends drove my car (one to drive me in to town and another to drive me back out.)

And both said the same thing..that the Z is very sluggish and not even remotely close to its usual performance levels. Both of them said that their cars were more responsive and quicker (and one of them drives a peugot 306!)

I have had the CAS timing checked, and it reads 15. BTC, the fuel filter has been replaced, and I have reset the ECU, but all to no avail. Please guys can you help me out, I really am at my wits end.

You've reset the ECU but do an ECU diag to see if there are any error codes mate.

 

Are you running safety boost? Foot down full and you should see no more than about 7psi I think if it's in safety boost mode.

 

I stand to be corrected though...as usual

Brian - have you had the actual *cam* timing checked yet? Not the CAS, but the physical positioning of the cam sprockets on the belt in relation to the crank position?

Happy Birthday, btw!

Hello all, thanks Ajay! I'm currently nursing the mother and father of all hangovers.

How do I go about checking the cam timing?

does anyone have any ideas as to what else could be causing this? the turbos are (according to the standard boost guage) boosting properly so I dont think its safety boost, It's so bad that the car cant even spin its wheels on a wet road (I've tried) and its taking about 9 seconds to reach 60!

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.

Brian.

Brian get that heep of shit up to Belfast and we will get it sorted out once and for all!
