Help limp mode !!!

[CRAIG R]

Firstly hi to all
Been around sometime now and finally purchased Frameys auto fd which is in limp mode.
Does all the usual unresponsive pullaway ,backfires if you even breathe heavy on the loud pedal etc
Oil metering pump is mentioned more than once in the searches i\'ve done so can anyone post a pic of its wiring plug location so i can check wiring etc.
Many thanks in advance from someone on a very steep fd learning curve.

wiring plug for OMP is srt of behind the power steering bracket... to the right of the alternator as you look at the engine bay

Cheers for that :god
Have checked wires for chaffing and plug for corrosion but no luck:3Confused
Will have to look elsewhere.

why dont you pull the Error codes from the ECU so you know whats cuaseing it go into limpmode. unless you know 100% whats causeing it to trip into that mode

Tried that Leon and don\'t seem to get any:Hammer

Did you get any Light, you get a single light when you key on, then that extinguish\'s if you dont. you  might not have it connected right. I ended up having to ground the two connectors on the diagnostic port, and connect an LED to the correct terminals in there also. To read mine i had to use a NON flashing LED (IE not the type you find on your allarm as i freaked first time around with one of those. )

[CRAIG R]

Didn\'t get anything but only linked the gnd and ten in top plug not both plugs.
As for using flashing led:Talking1

Leon your a genius Grounded both and came up with
9 short flashes = Water thermosensor
5 long flashes = Double throttle control solenoid
Can anybody give me locations of both of these.

Would either of the above put it in limp mode???

I think the water sensor would have more of a prority to the ecu.

i have both parts for you if you need them.

email me if you need any more info.

best of luck.

Edgeing bet would be the Water thermosensor, as far as i know the double trottle is only for safety when the engine is warming up! (controll\'s the 2nd set of butterflys on the uim) if i remmeber its there just to stop you booting the engine when its cold and doing damage, it may well have been removed though! as some people do that to make the air tract more free :mmmm

Double throttle is for the purposes you say but most will know not to boot it when cold so not necessary. you can remove the butterflys if you wish but that involves a bit of work and it doesnt make much of an improvement unless you are running big power. if it is broken it will just remain in the open position and wont affect anything.

the water sensor is necessary and as far as i know is located in the back of the filler neck/thermostsat housing as there are 3 sensors in there.

Sensor located has green plug with two wires in it , checked for continuity across plug and ok so possible sensor fault??
How much is a sensor???
What info would this be sending or not sending to ecu??

[CRAIG R]

Doh found another sensor underneath the one with green plug and two wires is another with a single wire on it (is new looking) Both of these are on the back of the water filler neck casting.

the black single wire is a fan override switch
