hi again guys, had a few problems over the last few days wonder if you can help?

since i got the car, ive been wondering if it is actually making full power, its as if its holding back a bit, but as ive never driven another one, im not sure. and when i can it, it jerks about under full foot

any way, the other day i went out for a drive and it started running rough so i headed home and left. The following morning i started it up and it was running on 5 cylinders. after pushing various shattered connectors nothing changed so i lifted the coil pack connectors to identify the dud cylinder. after pin pointing it and ensuring there was no problem with the ignition i removed the injector connector and i was 'relieved?!' to find it was only a furry connection. job done, running shweeet! but still jerking at full throttle

after this, i reset the ecu and pulled the codes. i have a 34 and a 13. great i thought piece of p**s, and continued to clean the temp sender which was also green and cleaned up.

then i finally managed to removed the connector from the det sensor although im not if it was that i cleaned because theres another connector beside it at a right angle lying horizontally.

after this i reset the ecu again and its still showing the faults. RAGE!

can any one tell me what voltage i should be getting across the 2 pins on the temp sender this should test the harness, and is there 2 connectors for the det sensor or just the one.(its so damn hard to see down there.)

could these faults be making it feel slow?

cheers,

Fraser

Code 34 will put it into safety boost mate, will be running rich.

thanks, ive been doing a bit of rummaging with the search feature and found a good article on testing and bypassing the thing. although it looks like ive been playing with the wrong connectors. will have another go. theres been no noticable change in performance since i got it so i never thought to pull the codes. hopefully will be able to feel what the beast can really do!

just to check, when reading the codes, it IS 3 long flashes followed by 4 short, then 2 second pause and the next code. correct?

whats it spooling to mate---ie,psi should be 9psi iff its running normal,i would try to find out why its detting instead of just linking the dett sensor and covering up the fact,could be the dett sensor down but then again it might be ok and your doin damage,in any case make sure its drinking optimax

err, cant remember off hand its a jap so its in mm of mercury will have to work it out but i cant even remember where it was going up to.

im pretty sure it is the det sensor i measured across it and i got 548kohms and i get +4.8V on the ecu side. like yourself, i did think that it may be genuine detenation but that wouldn't be stored as an error code eh? only if its open or short circuit, so this pointed me in the direction that there was a fault

it runs like a supercar now !! reset the ecu and took it out of safety boost. turns out its an intermitting fault with the det sensor.i can live with it now as i know what it is, got some resistors so if it turns into a constant fault il just bypass the thing.
