I dont think its dead, it wouldnt idle properly if it was??

Thats a good idea, once i get my mot and tax next week i probably will. Thanks for the advice smithy.

Wow reminds me of those beetle drag cars with the exit straight of the turbo. Hell they are sooo loud.

I miss rainbow zed already :( looks much better. Are those fog light ducts smithies product? im after a set of those soon to vent air to my aftermarket smic's.

pointy ones :D ngk pfr6b11c

Went for a spin today and i got a fooking flat now on the rear :( im a walking jinx.

Ive actually tried that mate, no difference.

Basically coz i know the problem is just a real simple one but hard to isolate, The garage is 50 miles away from me so not exactly a short drive. I paid for a complete internal rebuild which is what i got, id rather try to sort this myself as i know my mechanic will just fob me off with some excuse as to why its down to me and my ecu/chip etc so i juat cant bother with the hassle of getting all the way down there for him to just tell me oh its probably a bad chip/spark/plug fpr etc.... Il just end up buying more parts which he thinks may be the prob, il be out of pocket, call me anal but id rather do this myself :D

plugs were gapped by garage who did the rebuild they are new. Boost is on standard at the moment :( plugs are however coked up coz of rich running. and im fed up of taking them out and cleaning them, and before you ask, no i havent dropped and decreased the gaps on the plugs i was very careful. :D

yellow one just sends a signal to the ecu to tell it where the idle valve is set at i think. Will cause engine stumble without it connected though. Your prob could be a dirty idle valve screw bit of carbon in there or something or maybe a jammed air regulator??? or air leak?

Yeah but it over fuels once warm too. I have previously read the last three links and have actually done most the stuff in the bottom two links a few weeks ago :D The first link is a long read think il look 2mow.

Yeah which is running rich then? Gota do a fuel pressure test soon. is it suppose to be about 45psi? anyways still doesnt explain miss fire on boost :(

ah bugger ya.

7psi is standard boost 10psi extended ;)

Put a smile on my face made me happy. :D

egr is bypassed. Possibly, but its a black colour. suppose it could be mixing with the old carbon in the exhuast.

To be honest from the beginning i knew it wasnt chip or ecu related. Its got to be a sensor or fuel pressure problem. But why would it start missing on boost now? could it be a faulty maf or ptu now?

Ok my car is running rich and im getting black smoke when blipping on idle. today i noticed a nice black damp spray on the ground where my drivers side exhaust is not so much on the passenger side. which means im getting loads of unburnt fuel spraying out. I just changed the 555 chip to JD one and now it seems to be miss firing on boost I also get hesitation when blipping throttle which makes it hard to pull away Ive had it on conzult (thanks Vjay) and lambdas were buggard so ive changed those, everything else seemed ok, running temp etc. tps i think is reading fine. Ive done a boost leak test and all is fine. I havent done a fuel pressure test tho. Would it be worth removing the carbon canister as these can sometimes get blocked although i doubt this has anything to do with my problem. So what else to check/do?

Will need it chipped if running over 11-12ish psi though.

Thats bloody nice hay ;)

damn it you got 15mm over me :( Nice one ;)

Think he means change the left to right tyres on the front so the wear is on the outside ;)

All done and changed, passenger side was loose!!!!

Does anyone know which man decided to put the ac pipe right ontop of the passenger side lambda sensor restricting access for socket? If you do know who please tell me so i can shoot them dead thanks. If i remove the pipe all the gas will escape right? What can i do?

ahhh what a save hay?
