shame its a left hooker !

cool,youl see phase 1 before new front end goes on

Whos going this week,im going to try and make it.

Its every week ?

Im going, but on two wheels,you gotta have a bike over there !!

Theres a bar underneath the car,across the floor pans in the narrow part of body work,is it the exhaust hitting it. Mine did this so i remove the bar.

Try smaller plug gap,mine did the same when i changed the plugs,i run 1.1 bar of boost and found smaller gap improved it.

give me a pm and ill pass on my phone number.Im on holiday from 1st-10th June,so after that.

Yes,we must get together sometime,go for a run,not to far,Maldon or something,find a pub and have a good chat.

While your at it change the water pump as its right in the middle of everything,worth doing while you can get to it. Belt,idlers,water pump cost me a little over 200 and did it in 6hrs.

yeh,probley me.i sometimes just go for a drive.

Well Smithy,checked sensor ohm this morning(cold) and reading good.Went for a drive and fault gone.

Cheers Smithy,off tommorrow,maybe ill get it sorted so i can go to Z2009.

Hi zx-eyes,how long ago did you have spark plugs,if running higher boost the gap needs to be smaller,maybe gap has got bigger.

Yes Smithy,i agree,i still think its temp sensor related,either faulty sensor or wiring. Who can check for error codes,i live in Chelmsford,Essex. Dosent look as if ill be at Z2009 !

ok,but would that bring on engine light on dash,raise tickover and bring on electric fan ?

Just been for a run and it will rev above 2500 sometimes,sometimes hesitant,jerky but if put foot down smooth acceleration. Its as if have a missfire,did put new iridium spark plugs in 8 weeks ago but been ok till now,although that wouldnt bring on engine light. Any more suggestions please.

After changing the plugs on my car in only ran on 5,had a fiddle with wiring to plugs and its been fine since.

would it do any harm to drive like this,i could unplug fan so that wasnt running,I know i have enough oil and water.

well.cleaned temp sensor plug check wires,have 1000ohms across sensor and still doing it as soon as you start or after about 10 secs. I havent touched cooling system since doing timing belt and at the time got rid of air in system so cant see that it would be that.

cheers StellaZ,ill try that,i thought it might be someting like that,diid pull it off but didnt clean it !

Maybe some wiring,with vibration looses continuity or coil pack,have you checked them.

So i can go to Z2009 Went for a run to warm up oil for oil & filter change. All of a sudden engine light came on,revs increased slighty to 1200rpm and electric fan came on. Changed oil & filter,so i know there is enough oil,checked water ok. Now on starting all is fine for between 10-40 seconds then same thing happens,engine light comes on,revs increase and electric fan on. Please help,want ot go to Z2009 this weekend.

And me !

I ll be there.
