matthew_harwood 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Hi all I'm new to this forum but really need some help, My K reg corrado was having running problems. It would run like it was running on 3 then after gunning it it would clear, then the other day it died totally on a slip road theres no spark or fuel. So far I've changed the ignition module, hall sender and the coil but to no avail. Please can anybody help as i really need my car LOL. thanks in advance mat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mistrall 0 Posted February 19, 2005 could it be a bad fuel presure regulator or fuel pump guys? (i dont know allot yet lol) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted February 19, 2005 The ECU would stop it running. With no output to the coil, you'd have no spark, the ECU also switches the fuel pump relay which will stop the fuel pump. The pump would still prime when first turning the key, that would prove the relay and the pump itself. How have you checked for a spark? Check for a monster airleak, that would stop you getting fuel. Although it may fire for a couple of seconds on the cold start injector. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Is there an aftermarket immobiliser fitted that may have packed in? There can't be many links between fuel AND ignition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthew_harwood 0 Posted February 19, 2005 I've checked for a spark and no joy, Ive managed to get hold of another ecu so am gonna try that one later. the car has a clifford falcon 2 alarm fitted so if the ecu doesnt fix then this is gonna be my next point of call unless you guys have any other ideas. thanks for the advice so far regards mat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Most fitters would cut the starter motor feed and the fuel pump. If it turns over then the scource of the problem is unlikely to be the Immob. I blew an ECU on my 2 litre Passat in January. Backed out of a slot at work and it just stopped dead? Tried coil dissy relays etc as I had never personally come across an ECU failing, lo and behold............... Although, a mate had one go on his mk2 16V a couple of years ago.

matthew_harwood 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Hi all it seems the problem was an immobilizor issue, I still have a problem with my idle sometimes it just cuts out any ideas on this issue guys thanks mat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
