  1. Unplugging the oxygen sensor made no difference. I´m waiting for a new genuine one, but not very confident. The spark plugs are very black (powdered), the exhaust is also very black and spits dirty liquid. I´ve checked and re-done all the grounds on the engine bay and have also cleaned all electrical contacts and plugs, no difference at all. Also replaced the ECU vaccum hose and checked for possible leaks. I´m almost running out of ideas... I can´t believe the ECU is fried (I heard it somewere). Getting Corrado parts here in Portugal is a pain. I usually buy second hand parts from Germany. The car has no power at all, not even enough to park. The engine dies about 2 minutes after starting. Meanwhile supercharger has been serviced and doing 11psi on a stock pulley. What a nightmare! :(
  2. I replaced with 3.2mm and works fine. You can trim the hose to the right size if you use some maths in order to calculate the exact volume vs. lenght and diameter.
  3. Hi Chris! My 1992 G60 is doing exactly as yours. I've tried the same checks, and no luck. Did you get sorted with a new oxygen sensor? They're quite expensive and I'd like to hear from you. Cheers in advance! Miguel
  4. Hi mate! I am having the same issues on my 92 G60. How did you get sorted? Cheers in advance! Miguel
  5. I would check the fuel pump pressure (4bar). Also the dizzy cap (clean contacts and rotor). Maybe some STP brand injector cleaning fluid mixed with the petrol (read the label on bottle) will help for sure! Keep posting!
  6. I guess the car is missing the middle exhaust to keep some compression... I know that it

  14. If the valver fan works like the G60 ones, it has 2 speeds. The start signal is given by a temperature probe which is located on the water radiator. You may disconnect it and shunt the pin 1 with pin 2, and then pin1 with pin 3. With this you
