New toy WILL play :-D

[FD3SNuttah]

id be willing to use the other car as a parts bitch to narrow it

swap that round relay
swap the crank angl sensor

see what happens and then report back ere.

id be lookin at the alarm too. cos when i disarm i only have a little time to start the car otherwise it will start up initially then cough and die.

hiya - not had chance to play today - got shouted at off the better half for spending too much time on it already

SOOOOOOOOO

1 - pulled the plugs agin
2 - turned the engine by hand and you are talking cup fulls of petrol coming out the plug wholes
3 - then i walked away from it in a huff !!

i need to check the TPS and the crank angle sensor to see what they are thinking

it sounds like as soon as you go to start the car it thinks its running at full tilt and pumping loads of fuel in

im assume that the clicking noise might be right at 7000 rpm ??!?!

who knows eh

had no contact from mick - so i assume he was busy

been reading this : http://www.teamfc3s.org/info/articles/errorcodes/main.html

and i must admit - the TPS ( code 6 ) - sounds about right .... just need to work out how the hell to build one and not flood the car straight away when i put the key in !!

it does sound about right - The ECU assumes 100% throttle position - if thats the case - then yeah i can imagine it would dump that much fuel in ??

but why do they relays click like hell ??

also came accross this : http://www.teamfc3s.org/info/articles/idle.html

from reading this - it would seem that the air con relay does come into play ??

blooming heck:eek:
you must have square eyes reading all that.:Typing
it all seams like gobley gook to me, as im used to old mgb\'s with with carbs.

my son say\'s i look just like this:wiggle [not as yellow] and he\'s not far out.:spank :yes :Nono! :yes

[grinder]

its a learning curve - thats all

im happy to spend on it - just not a vast amount

just waiting to hear back from mobilemick to be honest

[Mobilemick]

I would have thought the ECU a more likely culprit than the tps - even if the throttle was reading full open by the sensor youd assumedly still have to have a signal saying it was at high revs for large amounts of fuel to be dumped in.

I had an xjs once which had ecu failure and locked open 7 of the injectors due to the ecu failing - that behaved similarly to what you describe. have you tried pulling the plugs on the injectors and cutting off the fuel supply to see if thats whats clicking away?

[grinder]

there is lots of stuff clicking away - and its all hinged round the EGI side of stuff

[abmunro]

You know when I put new battery on it started right away. None of this carry on your having...

[grinder]

this is what i dont understand tony - it was running fine for you - it stands for a few weeks and now this ??

the only thing i can think of is when you said that you reved it and it cut out - maybe something was on its way out at that point

did the headlights work for you ( up and down )

keep up the ideas guys - im gettin nowhere with this and the better half isnt a happy bunny

stu

[abmunro]

They worked when I bought it but didnt work the week before you came..

Did you get a look at the Manual off Mike
