akyakapotter Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 why dont you try clearing the codes its thrown up and take it for a spin see if it dose it then :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 how do i clear the codes?and because we think my pcv valve was leaking oil into the intake, would that confuse the ecu into thinking it was fueling wrong, thus giving the codes it has? because my car is burning oil. hopefully stopped the oil going in now gunna give it a few days to burn whatevers in the exhaust system and still in the intake passing through.just checked the earths and they all seem fine :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Cancelling Diagnostic Fault CodesAfter the repair of a troubled area, the diagnostic fault codes retained in memory by the ECU must be cleared by removing the fuse "EFI 15A" for 10 seconds or more, depending on ambient temperature (the lower the temperature, the longer the fuse must be left out) with the ignition switch in the OFF position.Clearing the memory of the ECU can also be done by removing the vehicle battery negative terminal, but in this case, other memory systems (clock, radio etc...) will also be cleared.If diagnostic fault codes are not cleared from memory, they will be retained by the ECU and appear along with any new codes in the event of any future malfunction.If it is necessary to work on any engine components that require removal of the vehicles battery, it is recommended that a diagnostic check is first carried out to identify if any diagnostic fault codes are stored before the ECU memory is cleared.After clearing the memory of the ECU, perform a road test of the vehicle to check that no further malfunctions have been detected and then check that the system normal code is read from the "CHECK" engine warning lamp. If any of the previous diagnostic fault codes have appeared, it will indicate that the troubled area has not been repaired sufficiently.taken from tgtt so its thanks to them mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 i havent been able to re-check it since, but will do in the morning, had trouble figuring out which is the efi 15a fuse, because i didnt have a diagram on my fusebox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 just disconnect the battery for abit same thing, reset it take it for a drive to warm it up then give it the usual abuse (you know the type ) and re-check for codes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 fault code 41, which i believe is TPS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 think you tps needs calibrating i assume it was taken off? whats your idle like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 yeah, ill have to have a fiddle tomorrow, ive got the glanza tb on there, so think it needs a fiddle.will deffo get onto it tomorrow, then its just the smoke that needs sorting then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 still not sorted the smoke issue? what have you tried? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 no still not completely sorted, ive blocked off the pcv valve and it seems to have got better, gunna give it a few days incase its just left over oil in the exhaust system and ports.but if it continues then it can only be the valve stem seals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I have a feeling it'll still be oil, Craig's GT was smoking for ages wasn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Were the valve stem seals not replaced!? you need to let the engine breath normally, any oil in the ports will have gone by now if theres any oil it will be in the exhaust itself of which there cant be much (how much did you have to top it up by?)how much is it burning on a daily basis? Were the valve guides removed/cut short? It may be they are letting oil past? Just a thought... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah they were replaced, but it was ported so yeah the guides might be letting some past.ive had to top it up twice in 3 weeks so not burning that much tbf, hopefully chris can get down here in the next couple of weeks to put a new head on or replace the seals in this 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Think this happened to mine if its the same thing.when you change gear does it sort of back fire and the gearbox looking switch warning light flickers?I adjusted the throttle possition sensor clock wise" and this stopped.so might just need slight adjustment on the TB and TPS.hope its just as simple as that mate!

ryan lang Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah thats the sod luke, but its the orangey yellow eml light aint it?like this:http://www.google.com/imgres?q=engine+mana...366&bih=563 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah thats the sod luke, but its the orangey yellow eml light aint it?like this:http://www.google.com/imgres?q=engine+mana...366&bih=563The link just sends me to google images main page mate.might be becasue im at work and the websites blocked.before ive adjusted the tps so its on the bare limit to cutting out, and it would be poping and banging everywhere with that "EML" light flickering evertime it pops. adjusting it clock wise stopped it all together, when adjusting it anti clockwise, it would cut out the engine and would not start when the key was turned upon re-starting the engine.From what i can assume the TPS has been hit or nudged by something to rotate it in a anti clockwise direction??????(happened to mee too as its quite fidily to tighten up) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
