    Hi I need some help. I cannot unscrew the 13mm nut on the weight as it turns. Am I turning it the right way? Do I need any special tool to hold it. What torque do I need ? Only want to push the grommet back into the eye at the end of the gear change cable. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Do the 2 hoses going into the matrix get warm. If they do then it is definitely the flap.

    Hi Welcome to the family. Put some pictures up of the car and a birds eye view of the engine compartment. look through the service history and find anything about the ISV, as it probably needs a good clean. Happy Corradoing.

    Hi Thanks for the update. Hope the repaired ECU does the trick.

    Hi If you have a multimeter, take off one connector at a time and measure the resistance of the sensor. If they are identical sensors as people are saying, then the resistance should be the same on all of them. Right ?

    Hi How good is the battery When was the ignition switch last changed

    Hi Well done. Hope you are taking some photos especially of the cracks in the coilpack. As regards the starter a good idea to disconnect the thick cables and give the connectors a good scrub with wire wool and vaseline.

    Hi Most likely an air lock. Which matrix did you go for ? How did you top up the coolant ?

    Hi Thanks for the reply. With the tip of the key in the new ignition switch and turning the key, how many positions can you feel, 3 ? By the way put the battery on charge as well.

    Hi The clicking noises are a good sign BUT you do not say if the engine did turn and fired up. You should check this before fitting the new switch in. Some members suggest bending the screw driver to reach the screw. can you put a picture of the switch and also the location of the hole

    Hi Well done for the photo. Cannot see the pin in the hole near the arrow on the left. Can you lock it in one position.

    Hi The current to the fuel relay will go through the ignition switch, so yes the ignition switch does affect the fuel supply.

    Hi Replace the ignition switch. Repair the badly frayed earth wire.

    Hi Check fuse 16
  19. mattkh
    Hi Did you put a new ISV or a used one. Can you hear it buzzing when the ignition is on ?

    There is a misconception about the fifth injector. I think the fifth injector only squirts fuel when the engine is being cranked with the ignition key. Once the key returns to position 2, the fifth injector stops squirting.
