Zeldoz Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Fuel pump? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 i went out tonight with the great help of jezza and changed the fuel filter,(BALL ACHE!) that got it started again which was strange! but then i noticed a wire loose on the throttle position sensor , could any one tell me if this could cause my issues? or what this wire is for? i know its getting supplied 5 volts so maybe that wire provides the power to the sensor?

akyakapotter Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 dose it clear up after 2600 rpm ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 yeh i think so or it gets better..but its pretty bad below that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Unplug the lambda sensor and take If for a drive 95% sure it will not missfire report back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 seriously? the tps wire wont effect it u dont think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 well i tried a temp repair on this by wrapping the cables together and clamping them dow, STILL NOT BETTER! i tried disconnecting the lambda, NO BETTER! i changed the fpr, NO BETTER changed the leads, NO BETTER i checked the plugs and they where black though they have only covered like 2 miles if that! so i cleaned them up but still, NO BETTER! Whats left? so to clarify, if i try accelerate away in say 1st gear it splutters and if you dont dip the clutch quick enough it will cut out. Please people come on!

white-gt Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 well it turns out it looks like the wires on the top connector at the coil pack is slightly exposed.. it was shorting against the intake pipe, so i got it moved over and it runs much better but still has rather bad missing when you try accelerate harder.. would wrapping insulation tape around it help prevent the spark shooting out? im not sure what else i can do..

akyakapotter Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah it will or a while until it makes it way through the tape Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 does it misfire when you rev it in neutral or only when driving, the TPS can cause all kinds of erratic rev behaviour which sounds like its misfiring if its knackered, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 It only seems to be happening when under pressure.. so accelerating , it's fine in idle .What's my best method for sorting the issue ? What about using a glue gun and dripping it over the wires and that would act as an insulator ? No rbz I'm in ek.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

white-gt Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 I've done that but it's still pretty bad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
