well i was driving back from tenby today and after putting my foot down i had a misfire but after about 5 miles it cleared its self! the zed done 3 more times and everytime it cleared on its own?!?? any ideas? its a twin turbo manual with i belive a serious 2 ptu fitted

i am from wales im in the vallies

best way of getting good MPG

just pulled up at tolls and this was in front of me

umm i thought using the brakes on a rolling road effected the BHP reading?

yeah i know but the car waz running fine before i serviced it so when it pissed about a couple of days after the service i thought it was something i done and didnt think the weather had any link to my problam

i would say knock sensor to while you have engine out! also turbo's refurb them or get them checked over and tested, guessing its a turbo! also check clutch and thrust bearing and silly things like engine mounts and anything that looks a f***er to get to with the engine in really

ok will do i think i may of found my culprate today i noticed that im missing the rubber seal under the passanger wiper to engine bay earlier! also gave the maf and air filter a good clean and touch wood she is running sweet at the mo! any recommendantions on replacement maf and air filters?

pcv valves take 500 miles to clear the smoke and i belive you can get condestion smoke if its been parked up for a while also how did the other engine blow? would it of chucked a load of oil iton the exhaust?

leave the baby and push chair at home with the other half and take car out with a mate lol

no to a vented nose. and real bad hesatation miss fire no boost will also stall on idle but clears when car warms up but still is a bit lumppy on idle

well following a few posts im working throught faults on my zed! i have come to the conclusion that my running fault when cold only happens when we have had rain! what would be most likly be getting wet?

what wheels are yours jimmer i really like the look of your zed (im guessing its your zed in your sig)

to be fair the back seats in a lwb base are only good for the targa roofs or kids! there pretty point less really les your snow white and know 7 dwarfs haha

hi im trying to get hold of you to ask if you still have your conzalt as i have a running fault on my zed and im not far from cardiff? i cant seem to send pm's off my phone so im hopping this will work thanks dave

sorry mine was aimed at tubZ i thought he started this topic! opps

well i would offer him £35 and him to return the tyres to you as you will be out of pocket due to his lazyness in not cheacking what he bought! i have been on the other end and i dont expect a refund when i buy something i shouldn't of also do you have a consalt still i need help diagnosing a running fault on my zed and im not far from cardiff oh and i have only just bought my zed off ebat and im not going to the seller asking for refunds hahaha

thanks i will use that search page! and do you know what colour wire goes where on the temp sensor as it has also been chopped and bodged in the past which i have now re done also what im guessing is the idle control at the rear of engine just to right as you look at engine 2 pin plug has also been bodged do you know again what colour goes where and also how does the idle control valve come out?

ok i found the det sensor and the wire, which has been chopped and bodged by the look of it! i have re done the connections the best i can with the wires and code 34 has cleared i now have code 55 but the car is still the same! wont run when cold and lumpy/really low idle when warm, about 750 -850 rpm also the det sensor plug is missing so there is only 2 wires one goes to wiring loom one goes to earth on battery which is how it was!

ok im looking for my det sensor and im pretty sure it is not there???? also i think the EGR valve is missing to? can you see the EGR valve from above/below the car as i cant seem to see it anywhere!!!! also the wire for the det sensor should be in the middle of the engine bay yes?

thank you!! that does not look fun to change! im thinking of dropping the engine out soon as im planning on doing the cam belt and removing the egr valve and the other valves as i belive less is more! does the engine and box come out from under neath easy?

hi guys can wrong plugs (bosh) bring up code 34? also plugs have been in for less than 1000 miles and are black so its over fueling and has bad running when cold! will this all be caused by det sensor? or will wrong plugs cause same faults? im changing to ngk plugs as we speak! also my phone wont let me use the search function so could someone put a link up for det sensor link or a picture where it is!!! thanks its a tt manual with no mods other than air filter and back box's and is a 1992

ok sensor it must be as its been fine for 2 days but now starting to piss about again! why would changing the oil stop the problem for a couple of days? would that suggest a certian sensor to look at first

anybody else find if your not cleaning it your fixing it, and if your not fixing it your filling it up an ocasanlly you get to drive it haha :wink:

problem solved started this morning no problems so wrong oil seems to be the issue not the idiot owner that put it in honest! thanks for help guys much appricated
