baileyr

got exaxtly the same thing, my starter motor was a bit dodgy, heard a fuse pop when i tried to start it, can i find the bloody 1 that went! cus its not in the 3 fuse boxes i can find. i just ran i new 12v feed to the ignition.

Rite, sorted!!! turned out to be the springs in my bailey dump valves! the 5psi i used to presure test for leaks wasnt enough for them to leak, but driving at full throttle was! did have another problem a few days later, car was a biatch to start when cold, as if it was only runing 4 cylinders, then seemed to be running hot, although the gauge stayed where it should, turned out to be the temp sender to ecu!

yeah, read it and re cleaned it!

wudt the cas show up on a diagnostic?? not tried the injectors, i'll whip em out over the weekend. the temp sensor connections are cleand regularly! had one go and melted my heads!

i did try one a while ago, and made no difference then, im startin to think it cud be a restriction in sum pipe or even exhaust. does anyone know wot tests can be done on an amf, voltage etc??

already ruled that one out, with 6 good ones i have

but, it had an engine swop at some point for a series 1, and it still has the egr attached the it. i disconected the hoses from it and made them air tight, but could this have somethin to do with it? again this replacement was done by zedworld

is the one thats on it rite with only 4 pins, but a 5 pin connector from the loom?

id have gone for dimented, unless he's the guy that sold me this pile of sh?t, then id go for absolute f?kin w?nker!!

wot r u goin on about?

ah???

theres no detination, but if there was it wud reduce my boost wouldnt it?? and its definatly not miss firing. 1 thing i noticed wen i was under it, the 2 exhaust down pipes didnt have the 2 smaller pipes that go to the egr valve on them, is this normal for a series 2?

yeah, it bought up 02 sensors, but that was a short in the wiring, which i sorted. it was an auto when i got it, but the box was kaput, so i did a manual conversion on it, dont know if thats got anythin to do with it, but zedworld did a conzult on it a shortly after which bought up nowt.

cheers for the reply chaps ive just re cleaned the conections to the maf, should it only have 4 pins on it? yet the cable has 5?? and is there another way to test if its faulty other then swopping for a known good one??

ive searched for hours and cant find much, so here goes. its a 92 j spec tt, has boost jets and chip, runs well under normal driving or if i build the revs up to 3-4k and then floor it, but if i floor it from under 3k its holding back alot! both boost gauges stay constant (0.9 bar) plus ive done a leak test, all filters and plugs changed, cleaned elec conectors afew times, decated it and by passed the carbon canister, i cant think of anythin else to try to stop it holding back under full throttle, but even when i let the revs build it still doesnt go as well as it should. any sugestions???

thanks for that, i can feel a difference in powere though, my old one went alot better then this one, but thats probly the after market exhaust it had.

hi, new to the forum but had a couple of zeds. can anyone tell me the differences in the turbo + bhp between jap spec manuals and autos? if completed an auto to manual conversion, but have been told the auto turbos are smaller and are only 280bhp, where the manual is 300bhp. is this correct? and would it be worth swopping them? cheers rob
