Yeah dont remind me :cry: ;) I'm sure I'll be in another in a couple of years at most :cool: Hopefully mine again lol ;)

Cool - thats a cheap fix, nice one :D Result. A dodgy TPS connect really messes around with gearshifts and performance, dunno about the funny boost readings tho :confused: Cant see how they're related? Maybe there is a boost leak too?

Me too :eek::eek::D::xxx:

No probs :) Probably quicker to fax him :D

SRRAE RAPES SPARE PEARS :eek:

SPARE ;)

Yep :D A little fishtank in the back room ;)

http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/autodiag/autodiag.html Procedure: 1. Have the engine at normal operating temperature, in P with the overdrive switch on. 2. Start engine. The AT light (1.) should go out after 2 sec. 3. Turn the ignition off. 4. Move selector to drive D by using the Push Release button (2.). If not equipped, use the brake pedal 5. Set overdrive switch to OFF. 6. Wait 2 seconds and turn ignition switch ON. 7. Wait 2 seconds and move selector to 2. 8. Set overdrive switch to ON. 9. Move selector to 1. 10. Set overdrive switch to OFF. 11. Depress accelerator pedal fully and release it. 12. The codes will begin to flash. Theres one long flash that signifies the start of the sequence. Following should be 10 short flashes. Then it repeats. Error Codes: All 10 flashes the same = No error codes detected. 1st flash longer than others = Revolution sensor is shorted or disconnected. 2nd flash longer than others = Speed sensor circuit is shorted or disconnected. 3rd flash longer than others = Throttle sensor circuit is shorted or disconnected. 4th flash longer than others = Shift solenoid "A" circuit is shorted or disconnected 5th flash longer than others = Shift solenoid "B" circuit is shorted or disconnected 6th flash longer than others = Overrun clutch solenoid circuit is shorted or disconnected 7th flash longer than others = Lock-up solenoid circuit is shorted or disconnected 8th flash longer than others = Fluid temperature sensor is disconnected or A/T control unit power source circuit is damaged. 9th flash longer than others = Engine revolution signal circuit is shorted or disconnected 10th flash longer than others = Line pressure solenoid circuit is shorted or disconnected All the same with no long start flash = Battery low, been disconnected, or control unit has just been reconnected.

The 16 flashes only tells you there is an error, you have to perform the diagnostic procedure then read the flashes that happen then, I'll find the link ;)

Just a thought - the slowness feeling could be due to the autobox error, is it kicking down properly? And does it sit in too high gear, that would obviously make it feel slow. First port of call would be to do the diagnostic, and check the autobox ECU and engine ECU connectors are properly seated (mine wasnt some time ago and it stopped the car kicking down and changed up ridiculously early, thus feeling slow and sluggish). A simple plulling apart of the ECU loom connectors in the pass footwell sorted this out. And it costs nothing, so do this first ;) Pete

The light flashing 16 times will be the "power" light and is telling you there a stored error code within the autobox ECU, the diagnostic he needs to do to find the error code is somewhere on AndyP's site http://www.300zx.org.uk or do a search on here. The boost gauge - :eek: Doesnt sound too good, maybe a huge boost leak?? Should be very negative at idle. Although if its boosting ok, which 9si suggests :confused:, then it could be a simple problem withe the gauge, sender, or wiring. Either way, it should feel fast ;) Pete

BTT YGM ;)

Excellent idea :D

Will the washing machine turn sideways as some are deeper than they are wide? :)

Ajay, I've not sent my cheque yet sorry, will wait until I know if and when my car will be sold :( Should know soon and will post in plenty of time for a reserve to be sorted :) Thanks Pete

Great stuff TC :cool: :D:D Sounded like he needed showing. What do you reckon we ask the local plod to close of the 2 roundabouts either end and use both lanes, for drag racing? :D:D:D

:cry:

Could be, dunno yet. Been taking pics today, and she's purposefully looking gorgeous :(

Red auto? Thats just unfair!! :D Give the new boy a chance FFS!!;)

Can you imagine if it had been a red 300ZX :eek: They'd have needsed a much wider lense to capture the 300 victory! ;) Pete
