another bloody problem

Grizzly · December 22, 2006, 01:11:40 PM

What mods are on the car? Does it have an Aftermarket ECU?

Maybe it could be a Problem with that?? But if the Plugs look ok (oviously one pair will be wet) Comp test it and go from there. It may not be a seal but there is not much point buying Plugs and leads etc if you have a Apex down?

Who knows you may have a Stuck Apex? If it was Running rich and it was Sticking to start with it may have just Pushed it over the edge?

compresion *sounds* to be okay, it did pop and bang ALOT on the way home and it cut out pullin on to my drive when i restarted it it back fired the loudest i have ever heard it do woke the neighbours up accross the road lol
gonna take a look at spark plugs this weekend though check coil packs and other things got some new plugs to try in it to see if we can get it running. this has been the final straw though am gonna sell it once this is fixed

Ok if you have good comp then start looking at stuff like the Map Sensor.

When you took the plugs out was one wet and the Other Dry? (i.e. was one rotor not working?) or are they both clean (I.e. its a Fault with Both Rotors that feels like one is out)

Also when the Plugs where out what did they look like? Where they Black and Carboned up? Where the electrodes Burns away and Rounded off or where thet in Good order (Electrodes Square at the end and the colour of the Plug was a Dark tan?)

Are you still running your stock ecu? I ask becouse there are a few things that would cause a problem like this (Water temp sender,Air temp sender,Map sender, O2 sender etc) and if you have a stock ecu you can get the error codes off it.

You need this http://www.fd3s.net/engine_codes.html and Down load this http://www.wrex-racing.com/html/fd/...shop_manual.zip

Out of intrest, Did you Comp test it with a Proper tester or did you do the One plug out and spin it over method?

When you say it sounded ok did the front and back sound the same? And was there alot of White Smoke coming out of the Plug holes when you spun it over?

That defo sounds like a Ignition/Compression problem, but if your Compression is good Try putting a Plug in a Plug lead and see if you get a Spark on Both Rotors when you turn it over.

Have you had any Joy with the car?

Little_ant · December 27, 2006, 06:07:55 PM

forgot to post on here, yep its running again it was just insanely flooded, no more leaving it running on idle, just unplugged the ignition amplifier and cranked it over untill it had full comp the plugged it back in and it started straight away ran one 1 rotor for about 10 seconds then the second rotor kicked in, have come to the conclusion its that ****ty mines ecu so wanna get a stock one untill i can get a power fc.

chris i will give you a ring friday to pick that decat up. would of been tonight but got carried away with the spending and now i am skint untill friday :rollin

Grizzly · December 27, 2006, 06:27:19 PM

Unusal for it to flood that bad where driving it does\'nt clear.

Little_ant · December 27, 2006, 06:29:32 PM

Grizzly · December 27, 2006, 06:32:23 PM

I\'ve got a stock ECU you can try if you want? Its of a 94 R2 if that makes any diffrence?

Little_ant · December 27, 2006, 06:46:09 PM

will find out if it will work cheers mate

m4drx · January 25, 2007, 06:28:15 PM

can i have the mines ecu off you mate? i have a stock one but i am running a RE-amemiya intake and a cat back 4.5" i think and i want a decat so i think i need something that will provide more fuel if thats right?

why do most not like other non mazda ecus other than the apexi, is there a problem with them>?

Little_ant · January 25, 2007, 10:55:47 PM

would recomend it unless you got the money for a rebuild, mines run far too much ignition advance 20 degrees will **** **** up well fast
