Hi, I had my car vagcom'd today(thanks elliot) to see if i could pinpoint the very slight hesitation i have at low revs, got 2 faults, usual speed sensor and this one. From the search i found its carbon canister related(i think), and i see that the previous owner(JoeM) also had a similar code when he checked http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?17045-Got-my-car-vag-commed....&highlight=00735 and http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?9878-More-VAG-COM-Errors&highlight=00735 , both were 31-00 - Open or Short to Ground where mine is 63-00 - Temperature Shut-Down . So my questions are , why would this be, what is it, and would/could it cause my hesitation? VCDS-Lite Version: Release 1.1 Sunday, 18 September 2011, 16:09:12.

Welcome back...............not that you were ever really away :lol:

I agree with the above, had a great day, looking forward to the next one :) ...............and the Dundee Cake ;)

eh......oops :lol:

No, late ones(late 92' early 93') are clip in and early ones(88' to late 92') are screw in

Dishwasher?

Worth giving the wiring a wee check anyway, my poor running, erratic idling, occasional kangarooing was instantly gone after i'd repaired that plug, that was after replacing fuel metering head , fuel pump , distributor, isv , leads , plugs , potentiometer , throttle body , ignition switch.........and it was only 2 broken wires :)

Were the 2 plugs connected or loose?, Only asking as it was the engine side plug that was at fault for my poor idle, kangarooing etc.................2 of the 3 wires were broken but the plastic sheathing was intact

Ok, Here are a couple of pics which might help............The yellow arrow shows the wire coming from the potentiometer(you cant see the plug) and the green arrow shows where the plug should sit on the TB, the big red arrow shows the plug the potentiometer plugs into.........phew :) Pic 2 is TB removed from car, showing the wire better but not really showing where the plug should locate

No you DO have one...............its the black box attached under the TB , the black wire in pic 2 is it. The male and female plugs you have shown should be connected, the potentiometer end should be housed in the gold bracket on the side of the TB

The plug for the potentiometer should be in the gold bit and the cable for it should be through the top bit, its the other end of the black wire in picture 2..................I remember taking this plug out when i swapped the potentiometer on mine but couldn't get it back in...........looks like that might have happened to yours?

Aqua blue is a great colour.........here is a pic of my old valver

Don't laugh..............its a skoda felicia :lol: , glxi model..............for the pricely sum of £160 :)

I know what you mean, i was lucky with the frontera i bought, didnt have any issues with it, only got a flat tyre which i filled with tyreweld or whatever the foam stuff is called.............I was prepared to scrap it the first time it broke down, but it didn't, so i kept it until march, when the missus decided to run into the back of someone , very slowly, but it was a sign that it was time to get rid and get the corrado out of the garage............already got my winter banger lined up for this year :)

I bought a Frontera last winter for £250, drove it for a few months and scrapped it for £200, was really good in the snow :)

Been there too..............but look how happy the new owner is :)
