i had this exact same problem last week, cleaning the temp sender connector fixed it and it was all fine again :) well, until this week and now the Zed wont start :(

Can someone please link me to that page in the manual with the PTU continuity test? I have the PTU out now but running in circles trying to find the right page!!! maybe just me being an idiot and looking in the wrong place! Thanks.

Still on the lookuot to buy a S1 or S2 PTU or someone nearby to loan one to make sure its the problem. Thanks.

Yeah i saw that, im pretty confident i can do it, i just dont want to open it up if it isnt broken :) Thanks for the help by the way keith!

That is as i suspected. ECU code gave me 55 no errors and i dont see one listed for PTU. Just going to find an assistant and re-check for spark. Anyone have a PTU for sale, id prefer the series 2 version? Or even one i can borrow to try out, im located just North of Gloucester. Thanks.

My Z is 1990 TT SWB Manual. I went out to my zed last night and it wouldnt start. The starter turns the engine over and over but it doesnt catch. (The starter has a habit of just grinding on its own sometimes but thats another story.) Checked fuses and connectors (had history of connector problems) still no joy. Took coil pack out, there is 12v on the middle connector pin but i dont think im getting a spark. Although i have a worry that the spare spark plug i was testing it with wasnt seating right, do zeds have longer spark plug ends? About to run ECU diagnostic to see what it flashes. The main purpose of this post is: is there any way of checking my PTU (its series.1) is working without opening it up, or borrowing someone elses? Also is it worth checking the CAS with the above symptoms? PTU and CAS seem to be common causes of starting problems, no? Another issue: since the Zed is a new purchase and i am about to do a full service on her, is it worth, in your opinion, changing all the coil packs? Many thanks in advance! Ollie
