Help limp mode !!!

[CRAIG R]

Would a problem with the temperature thermosensor (assume its the 2 wire one) cause the car to go into limp mode
Anyone??

Can anyone shed any light on this??:Thumbs-up

Well i seem to remember that Error code is remembered by the ECU meaning it wont clear unless you fix the problem then reset the ecu. -think- since it being a remembed code it would throw it into limp mode.

Makes sense Leon
Are you able to confirm that the two wire sensor at the rear of the water filler neck is the water thermosensor.

me personaly no, im not an expert on these cars! but if you havnt done arleady have a look at the service manuals (they are for the american car) but it can help you track down what sensor your looking at

yes it is mate, i would try to reset the ecu and then repull the fault code if there is still a prob.

Bah humbug!!!!:(
Fitted temperature thermosensor which after an ecu reset got rid of the 9 short flashes code
and..............no bleedin different:3Confused . Still got the 5 long flashes (double throttle solenoid) but general consensus is that it would not cause the problem (car revs to cica 3-3.5 and cuts out)
Any suggestions chaps

[CRAIG R]

Right even though the double throttle control solenoid appears to be working ie opens the flaps as car warms up ooh err its still showing a fault code for it and car still seems to be in limp mode.
Can anyone tell me if having this fault code will affect the running of the car???

[CRAIG R]

Latest. Fitted another double throttle control solenoid today and the code for it will still not clear, checked continuity of wires at plug and appear ok.
Since doing this i now have another code:mad:  four long flashes (purge solenoid) .Pipes are on it have continuity  accross plug.
Even tried a power fc, this makes it rev a little higher annd it actually shows some boost but still reacts like a tortoise with a wooden leg.
Starting to think a gallon of petrol and a match maybe the answer.
Any suggestions?:confused:

hang in there mate i am all to familiar with those moments hence all the extra parts left over from my exploits.

i have the pruge solenoid if you need it but as the fault is not disapearing from the double throttle im not so sure replacing solenoids is going to solve it but for once im stumped. i cant think of any things that would cause it to behave soo bad!

perhaps o2 sensor dieing or something along those lines as they dont show faults when dieing as the ecu just tries to compensate so perhaps yours is compensating too much? im not actually sure and i sold my lambda yesterday to mikey. if there is anything that you need let me know and ill have a think about this and see what i can come up with. sounds very bizare but itll end up beingan easy fix i think but just a pain finding it.

only things that spring to mind are ignition wiring (have you had an alarm fitted recently?)  or related items ignitor or coils? check them if you can i have replacements but things like that are worth a look.

are the leads the correct way round? earthing etc?
