If you go for a set of non-g6o clocks you'll loose the boost check in the MFA. I know mine doesn't work.... I'm not sure what clocks I've got but the fuel gauge is out and the revs only go to 7000rpm.

Any updates on this... sounds very similar to mine. Spoke to a garage and they said it's doubtful to be the fuel pump.... but then again these are the same people who fitted a PAS belt that was too long so maybe not the best source of info ;) How much is a new fuel pump out of interest :?:

Please, I'm getting deserate now. It took me 10 minutes to get her to fire up this morning and it seems the colder it is the worse it gets. So at -13 I'll have a nice big paperweight as it'll never start.

Tried the sensor change and no difference. Infact if anything it's worse when I change them.....

Well mines a German import.... and even going up at 75mpg it's annoying. It just reminds you that you've broken the speed limit somewhere on your journey.....

BTTT Please... any suggestions. I'm worried that if it's having problems at 3 degrees, it might not even want to start at -13 degrees (Austria Temp this past weekend)

Every 3K... damn thats an accident just waiting to happen.

Well the Bentley manual says you can test with a voltmeter across pins 1/3.. although it mentions removing the "power output stage harness connector" I can't seem to see this though... which is a problem. Unless it's the rubber seal around the plug, but that seems a little odd. Did some tests on the ISV and blue temp sender just now. If you unplug the ISV and start the car it idles very low (about 500rpm) the same if I remove the blue temp sender when the cars at idle.... So I guess both of these are working fine.....

Well if you send me a picture of your setup I might be interested....

Ok... just an extra bit of info.. but when it's warmed up it runs like a dream. When cold though the above starting problem occurs, and sometimes I get it reving high and then dropping down when I'm at the lights. Rather annoying as everybody things I'm a boy racer..... Also on starting it just now it started second time (car was used a few hours ago so not really cold) but whenever you pushed the accelerator to get it to rev it almost cut out totally (this was out of gear) Problem with the fuel pump maybe :?: how can I check this.... Also to anybody who's checked their hall sender before. Can you explain the process as I can't get a thing out of it on my multimeter on ACV or DCV.

Well I was hoping some things we did yesterday at G-werks would solve this, but today same problem. Basically, when cold (as in left overnight) the car takes 3/4 tries to get ir going. Sometimes it'll start and then die straight away. It makes no difference if you give it some gas... as this tend to make it stall quicker if anything. So had the ISV cleaned a few weeks back and seemed to fix the problem for a week.... but this could just be a red herring. So tonight I tested the hall sender. With the ignition on I got nothing from pins 1 & 3 on the voltmeter.... but the car refused to start with this off. So it must be working. Gonna recheck this later.... I also checked my blue temp sender and was getting 600 ohms. The black temp sender though (new from GSF yesterday) was sending 1400 ohms. Is this difference right or should they send the same :?: So, any thoughts on what this could be..... The cars fine except for this little niggling problem....

Saw a red Micra packed with people... smiling and taking pics as I was on the way back g-werks yesterday. Could be somebody on here, or just an admirer :roll:

Hiarspray makes things stick... at least people use it for holding things tight. Although I'm not sure of any problems it might have corroding the belt..... Have you experienced a sudden loss... or is it just done constantly....

Ah... we don't have that over here.... pity as I'm moving the car to a colder climate :lol:

Pictures ??? It could be the boost pipe that goes to the dash for your MFA boost reading.

*Hands GixxerUK some cough medicine*

Yeah he's got at least 2 G-werks stickers at 400bhp each.... Honda, no problems I'd rather cruise along a few seconds later not looking like a w***er anyday....

You went for a new 8V PG G60 :?: You didn't think of a 16v with a charger.. or a 24v conversion then....

It's odd that the previous owner did so much work.... but didn't change the oil :?:

You're sending it for a stage 4 rebuild :?: Can't quite tell from the pics but looks like it's already had some work done so might only need a rebuild.... No point in wasting you're cash....

You think it's bad here you should see places like Austria..... most cars are covered in salt from the road spraying this time of year.

Yeah I thought so as well pretty impressed overall.... Darren wanted to go round the block again. But I just think he loves that roundabout personally ;) Want to get it RR'd again in Germany and see what it's kicking out at the wheels now it's been tuned a bit more.

I stopped counting at about £3k.... it was best that way... I've only had it just over 2 months after all :lol:

Obviously he was a mad max fan..... Just out of interest.... how old is the civic your mates showing you ? It's hard to compare a 10-15 year old Corrado to a 2 year old civic and get sensible comparisons.

Ok.... back from a day at g-werks (thanks Darren, dong wonders as always) - New fuel lines - Knock sensor - SNS chip and 68mm pulley - RSR breather - Brand new shiney front indicators - Black temp sender replaced - Replaced boot struts Skipped a few bits incase it throws up some problems on the German TÜV.... It's pulling like a train now all through the rev range. Can't believe the quality of the new chip. Well worth it I'd day. It was pulling 15.5psi on the test runs so I'm well happy with it.
