I have a thread in the South East section.

 

Basical engine is coughing and I dont know how to work out what the Datascan is telling me. Need Help

take a log and post it up on here, that way anyone with a datascan can play it back.

 

edit - coughing in what way? under what conditions? From this ultra vague decription i'd start by looking at the o2's

ill get it off the laptop. It used to smoke, then it stoped, not if I floor it the damn thing chugs, stutters and then finaly gets going.

 

0-60 takes me 10 seconds to give you a idea.

if i put teh peddle down slowly it does it in 7

Do the O2 sensors still seem to be working, Chris? It does seem like a decent place to start looking considering the problems you were having before the high speed runs seemed to get them working again.

My car did the same not so long ago, i took the connector of the TPS (throttle position sensor) and the contacts were covered in cr*p!. Cleaned them witha good quality contact cleaner and some gentle sandpaper.

 

Solved the problem straight away! HtH

sounds to me like a fueling issue, either electrical cause or mechanical, could be seriously overfueling

im thinking the same. was hopeing teh datascan would show some light on the sugject.

 

does have 555's in there

Could be TPS, temp sender, AFM - all will cause overfuelling and irractic behavior. Take it for a run and post up the datascan log.

Any error codes ?

Seriously try cleaning the TPS like i said, datascan is great software but doesnt replace sensible engineering/fault diagnosis.
