Pweeeeeaaaaseee! Anyone help?

Don't all shout out the answers at once now!

anyone?

Can someone confirm for me the order that the ht leads are connected to the dizzy? I've got them as - ____________Engine_______________ 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 With one being closest to the engine if you know what I mean. Cheers

Ok. I ran the car (like a pag o' poo) for a bit. I then disconnected the lambda wiring and it continued to run like said bag o' poo. Does this mean that the lambda is either- 1 - FUBAR or 2 - Needing a good clean? Need to get this sorted asap so speedy responsess appreciated

Just been out to check the plugs. After cleaning them about a week and a half ago (they were all black) they are now the same black state they were then. So there is deffo a fueling issue. Question is, what is causeing it to overfuel? Answers on a post card to the usual address.

Good Idea crasher but there's no one I know with a G60, only VR's. Trying to figure out the problem is going to be a nightmare. I hope it's not the ecu though cause they're not cheap.

Ok! Checked the lambda wiring to make sure everything was ok and everything seemed fine. I crimped the connections some more just to be sure. Blue temp sender is working and vac hose to ecu has been replaced by a new 1m length of hose. Also replaced the dizzy and rotor arm. Took the car a run last night and everything was fine untill the engine temp hit 100 deg and coolant started to pour out the expansion bottle. Someone forgot to tighten the lid properly :oops: . Anyway, let the car cool down and topped up the coolant. Sorted. Or so I thought. Got in the car this morning to go to work and was back to running like a bag o shite. Anyone got any idea what is going on????? Please?

Will do that today at some point. What if when i did the lambda wiring, i didn't do it right and have a dodgy (or non-existant) connection. What's this limp mode that the ecu goes into?

Does this look humped to anyone???

Replaced the hose from tb to ecu. Exactly 1m in unstretched length. No difference. Car starts to run fine then after 10-15 secs starts to run like a harley. What the hell is going on???

They are currently going skanky as we speak. Bloody Scottish weather!

Here's mine!

So the drive home from work yesterday was a great laugh!!!! Car cut out on me 3 times sat at traffic lights and just before it died sounded like it wasn't firing on all cylinders (or at least how I imagine that would sound). Decided to pop into Halfords and replace the dizzy and rotor arm - no difference made. When I got home I took the vac hose off the back of the TB and ECU and measured it - exactly 1m in length. Will replace it tonight anyway just incase it's got a leak. Funny thing is, when I was on a quiet bit of road and gave it some right foot action as the car climbed the rev range there was a whistle/psssht noise just before changing gear. Possible boost pipe leak? And when it was idling (well spluttering) in the drive there was a little black smoke coming out the exhaust. Could the dodgy lambda wiring in any way make the timing jump out of well, time? Getting quite worried and annoyed. Had to get a lift into work again today but I'm gonna need the car sorted for the start of next month so I can do my job. :cry:

Good call supercharged. Picking the vac hose up on Friday hopefully. Driving the car just now sucks cause it looks like i've not yet mastered clutch control.

Is it just jubilee clips to hold the vac hose on between the TB and the ECU or should I get the VAG clips?

Unless you park near a microwave ;)

It's on the same nipple it's always been on matey. Could just be buggered I guess. Worthwhile spending £6 at the stealer for a new length of hose then? Cut to 1m and good clips at each end?

Update- Fixed the Lambda wiring. Still running like a bag o' poo!!!!! A slightly better bag o' poo but a bag o' poo none the less. Seemed ok to start, but was hesitant through low revs, then picked up, flat spot at around 3.5K then just flew. That was last night. The drive to work this morning was a tad kangarooey. Should I have disconnected and reconnected the battery when sorting the wiring? Does the ECU learn after runnung like a bitch? Have I missed something simple when sorting the wiring? When I checked the dizzy and rotor arm they were both quite dirty. After cleaning them the best i could, the rotor still had little black bits on the contact as do the contacts on the dizzy. I suppose changing these might help sort my problem? Any other suggestions? Bad earth? Lambda wiring not quite right? AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHH!!!!!

Cool Henny, ledgend. I'll give it a go tonight hopefully. Hopefully I'll get the wires the right way round and not make a complete arse of it. I'll keep you posted.

Anyone? Can't have the car off the road for too long as I need it for work.

Ok, looks like I've made a bit of progress on this front. Had a read at a post Henny made a while back that listed 4 common areas that cause G60's to run like a bag o' dung. 4 - Dead lambda. Well not quite. Had a look at where the lambda plug goes on the engine mount and look what I discovered. The black wire had completely corroded away leaving no connection and the brown one a broke trying to figure out how and if I can get the connectors out to re-wire it. I take it that this is the most likely reason for my recent running problems? So I have 2 questions. Can I re-wire this myself or do I have to buy a new loom? Can I run my car with the lambda unplugged without killing it? Cheers, Grim

Cool, cheers guys. Will dig out my dads multimeter and sort it.

Can someone tell me what the above part number is please? I think it's maybe the M.A.F. but not sure. It's out a 92 G60 and it came off the boost pipe. Think I might have adjusted the screw too much. DOH!

Still having the same problem as before guys. It went away after a few days and ran fine for a couple of weeks. Then when the fuel tank was getting low, it started to run bad again. I've checked the plugs and they were a little black so gave them a clean. Made no difference. Unplugged BTS and car stalled so I'm thinking that is ok. Checked dizzy and rotor arm and they look a bit dirty so cleaned them up best I could but still no change. I'm now having trouble starting the car. Any ideas.... I'm really stuck? Cheers
