Firstly, it seems on of the wires at the dett sensor conx is well not in the clip ??? i'm sure i read somewhere that this is normal?????

 

secondly, changed my plugs to 11b now the ones that came out turned out to be for a GTO and have a much shorter thread travel, is this gonna have caused damage as the ignition will take place higher up near the valve seats???

 

3rd, whats the best way to get on the top bolts to the down pipe on the drivers side, one is not fully in, ive tries from the top of the engine with various extentions ans so forth but no joy.

 

4th, is it possible to release the wires from the coil pack conx as i have six new ones, and i dont really want to cut and solder them, especially at the back near the balance tube, theres not much to play with there.

 

cheers all

1. If you are talking about the grey connector, (2 spade type) then it should fit snug into the other part, i would guess it has been taken apart and snapped in that case need to get hold of a new( i got mine of a nissan micra radiator connector of the same year at a scappy, fore a quid.

 

2.No idea if caused damage, but should be ok, only way to find out is put the full set of six plugs in, make sure its all 6, as you can bet the 2 at the rear havent been changed, to do this you need to remove the balance bar.

 

3rd, HUH? top bolts of what? if its the studs for the zorst, it may be that one was replaced and unable to be fully tightend, as long as there is a bolt under to clamp it up. Access from underneath

 

4th, The coil packs will remove, be careful as they tend to shatter, and to get the rear ones off, (cyl 5 and 6) you need to remove balance bar, it will make it much easier

 

When packs are off if re using, give them a clean with a small file and some electrical contact cleaner.

 

 

PHEW............................

right,

 

1. I was talking about the wires coming from the connector itself, 2in and only one out, other is broken, no fault code mind you ???

 

4. I want to know if you could release the wires from the coil pack connectors themselves, without just cutting the wires.

Strange??????

You can but its a total pain and very time consuming, easier to solder in new connctor

oh well, looks like im gonna have to dust the soldering iron of then, lol
