help needed with hicas
hi there, had exactly the same problem you had, but i managed to find a really good low millage second hand complete hicas rack with all the arms, fixed the problem straight away, mike feeny at mj parts in the traders section sell the arms for about £55 each if i remember, then you have to fit them and set the end stops that are underneath the rubber boots on the rack, you will find that its the ball joint at the end of the rack that wears and causes the wheels to go there own way lol!! but can also be other suspention parts as mentiond by the other posts. hope this helps

iacc valve wiring loom short !!
been having a slight missfire on the zed on the drivers side, cant for the life of me find the fault tried everything, so i unplugged all the injectors and coilpacks and pulled back the wiring loom, just as i opened the connector to the iacc valve i noticed that the red wire going into the connector had worn through and was making contact with the earth of the plennum :shock: would this cause my missfire at very low revs ???

damn this bloody miss fire grrrrr
ok story so far, have removed ptu & cleaned all connections, i dont get the missfire when i first start up the engine only when it has warmed up !!!, i also swapped all the plugs and coil packs from left to right side and the problem is still there when i rev the passenger side throttle body, so its not the plugs or coil packs, could it be the ptu, or an injector?? i can try a commpression check but it seems to be ok when its cold!!! :cry: :cry:
