Futher to my last thread (Poss PTU knackered) thougt i'd start another one with ohter little probs now!! :headvswal :headvswal

 

Well it's not the PTU, one of the Mrs mates is round, fella prob's by the sound of it!! So used the time to nip out to the garage, changed one more spark plug, and conected the coil pack to another new one and it sparks.. so thats ok,and then she started!!!! but was running like shit!! only ticking over with my foot onthe gas.... and i mean only just... about 3 - 400 rmp, oil pressure gauge showed nothing... then it started to move very slowly and settled at just under half way, which seamed strange, as normaly it's straight up there, but might have take a while to build the pressure as the low tick over?? but as soon as my foot was lifted it died popping and banging..... could this be a case left over fuel, from the air leak?? does it just need a good rev to get it all burnt out?? i did rev it a bit, upto 1500-2000,didnt sound quiet right, but the fumes started to choke me! does that sound normal after a massive over fueling?. Gonna try and move her out the garage tommorrow and rev her up... good idea or not??

any other suggestions??

This has only started happening since the BOV install, could the BOV's be knakered? can i take off the BOV's and bung up the hole??? (i have removed the recirc's and BOV's are in place of them)

Cheers

Try starting with the air flow meter disconnected.

Sounds like a faulty MAF to me too, Id disconnected mine a while back when I had the filter off for a clean, forgot to reconnect and had very similar symptoms!

won't be MAF - you'll get a pretty good idle with it disconnected - just won't rev above 2k (ish).

 

Are you sure the BOVs are plumbed correctly?? You haven't left a bung out have you?

Cheers Guy's got round to changing the restof the spark plugs and she fired straight up and is running sweet, seams there was another broken plug (which made 2) so she was running on 5!

 

After about 10 mins the smoke cleared... unburnt fuel, and all is now all good again......except the BOV's make no noise at all,but its rainning and cant be arsed to look today, i'll have another gander tommorrow.
