BeavisJem 0 Posted May 31, 2004 Mine is a bit dodgy, got a new one to replace it with (haven't done it yet), but my car has been running pretty bad for a while, rubbish fuel consumption, a bit gutless below 2k, but idles and starts perfectly everytime, could it be the sensor? What else should i check for smooth running. Charger done 20k ago. Oil change 300miles ago. Am going to do Dizzy and rotor tomorrow. Cheers for any advice.

beavis 0 Posted May 31, 2004 If still no joy check the ECU earths that terminate wither on the top right of the rockercover or the water outlet on the side of the head. If these look suspect clean ehm up and if you have the inclination to do so run a secondary earth from this point directly to the battery negative. Check with a volt meter to from the postive pole of the alternator to the negative of the battery to see if the alternator is kicking out a good 13.5V plus, anyless than 13 and the car will be dipping into a failsafe mode where it overfuels as a safty parameter. You may also have a failing lambda, you can check this by unplugging the lamba from the harness and seeing if fuel consumption improves. Check all vacume hoses for leaks and splits, replace anything that looks suspect or perished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
