What is the ALC I/II? :confused1: sorry for being retarded...

If it is just shells, then i'm sure you can just support the engine, remove the cross member, and drop the sump, but you wont really be able to examine the crank very well, and if it is cream crackered, then it's engine out anyways...

I'm not sure mate, can't say I've ever heard of it, but that doesn't mean anything! Have you tried it with them unplugged? I think that would be safe to do, but better wait and see if anyone confirms that...

do you mean the 2 solenoids (VVT) on the back of each intake cam cover, with the whiteish braided cover on the wires? As far as i know, the solenoids are identical, only difference being the length of the wires...

Thanks mate, is the EGR not working detrimental to the engines performance?

it's only a paper gasket behind the oil pump, so not very exspensive, I'd personally change it, it's cheap, and you may as well do it whilst your down there, but it's up to you pal...

bumpingtons?

I used a grinder on mine then split it, you only need a tiny crack in it to free it, my engine was out at the time, as said above, don't loose the woodruff key, i think the new crank sprocket was about 38 quid from nissan...

I've fitted a new loom for a LHD, and can't seem to get the plugs for the AIV's to reach, however, they are no longer in use as they are bunged up on the exhaust, so leaving the plugs off wont make any difference? And, there is another plug, i'm pretty sure it's for the EGR solenoid, which i can't seem to find, so i have 2 grey 2 pin square connectors, and 1 black 2 pin square connector, which i presume is for the EGR solenoid, what would be the consequences of leaving them disconnected? EGR is still in place by the way... Cheers...

Aaaaahhhhh :censored: :censored: My subscription has run out, bad times being snowed off too! Who would've thought a musician could be snowed off, raid the piggy bank time me thinks!

how about a race to 70 mph then? (joke) :) :) :)

film it matey! ;)

Have you tried your new spark plug yet? Could well be that, I've had the same thing.... But if you have, then sorry I'm not much help!

Hey guys (and gals), just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year, and all the best, and give a massive thankyou for the immeasurable amount of help and advice you have all given me this year! Thanks y'all!!!!

I 'think' i heard a while ago, that if you disconnect the auto box ecu, that effects the power steering?

you got one hell of a sense of humour mate! :)

well said groover....

As far as know mate, the kph/mph converters are prone to problems, that'd probably be the first thing i would change, they're pretty cheap too i think... HTH...

I think the speed sensor is the same, but the cog on the end of the shaft is different, although i might be wrong! :)

yep, i had that with my old loom too......

haha, nowt wrong with a few beers mate :) i doubt that method will do much good, i'm afraid it's gonna be a remove each connector, inspect, and clean kinda job, might as well do them all, tedious, but necessary.... the coil packs are the six black square-ish things with 2 bolts holding each one in, and about an inch wide oval connector in each one, they go to the spark plugs (via the coil packs), and in front of them you'll find the injectors with smaller square connectors, just be sure to pop of the metal clip on the injector connectors, and be very gentle, no doubt they are very brittle by now.... you'll need to scrape any gunk off the metal contacts on the connectors, i'm sure there'll be a write up or thread on here for the methods etc.... HTH, i've had a few beers too, hahaha...

Have you got a kph converter on it?

yep, i'd agree with Quavey, coil pack connector, or possibly an injector connector, but likely to be a connector anyways! :)

i've just put my cam cover back on after sorting the oil leak out! :(
