Well, just eliminated the throttle switch from the equasion, tested it with a multimeter and tis working fine!

Wipped out the ecu and everything was looking fine there, however, i do not have any vacume pipe as mentioned earlier in the thread? is this correct?

Still think its those knock sensors!!

well at least thats another thing thats woth trying!

gonna b a busy day on sat!

cat, lambda probe, throttle switch the list goes on...

i love vw's!! :lol:

IMHO I would not touch sony in-car stuff with a barge pole!!

I used to work for a reptuable car audio supplier and we used to get LOADS of sony's back faulty!! They def have build quality issues!

Alpine every time!!

she is on around 80k

I have just picked up a whole 1.8 KR head in reasonably good condition.

Would it be more beneficial to fit the kr cams in the 9a of to fit the whole kr head onto the 9a using the 9a anciliries?

mine is really intermittant, has no pattern at all!

i really dont know what 2 try next! knock sensors? throttle switch? lambda probe?

any suggestions?

Green? Mine are black with a blue plug!

How many did u replace?

No improvements at all? Starting to think it might be the lambda sensor!

ideal!

i have no red tag so i guess its gonna be re-program!

cheers

both the same!! are they supposed 2 be different?

Hi!

I have a 1992 2ltr 16v fitted with what appears to be the standard alarm manufactured by META.

I could really do with getting another alarm fob as i only have one!!

Does anyone know where i can get one??

Its the green and purple one...nice!!

Had my Knock sensors off 2day, they are looking in kinda sorry state i.e all the plastic has cracked and broken off.

However, gave them a rub down with a bit of wet and dry paper and the car did perk up a bit!!

Now trying to find someone who will sell me a set on new ones!!

Bought a set of kr cams 2day! Gonna fit the inlet cam next weekend and watch it fly!! Woohoo!

This is amazing, its almost as if u have been driving my car!!, i have the knocking 2, got a feeling its the big end...doh!!

gonna wip out those knock sensors and give them a good clean!!

will let u know if this sorts out my problem!!

im super glad i joined this forum...been trying to sort this prob for over 4 months!!

Cheers guys!!

Its great... it only shocks my girlfiend!! obviously prefers me!!

I love cars with personality!!

I have a 2ltr 16v 9a with exactly the same problem!!

tried all sorts to clear it:

oil + filter change

fuel filter change

new ht leads

new plugs

new dizzy cap

new rotor arm

new air filter

all with no joy!

gonna try all the electrical stuff posted above!

if u ge it sorted let me know coz mine is driving me nuts!!

stupid question... where is the ecu located on the corrado?

I dunno, been looking at those myself!!

I believe that these are not a plug and play item and may be fiddley to fit!

interesting!!

thanks 4 that!!

do u reckon that it would be a significant increase in power?

Is it true that the cams from the 1.8 16v (kr) engine offer more lift than the cams in the 2.0 16v (9a)?

If so, would fitting the kr cams in the 9a offer any reasonable power gains? Is it likely the increased travel will cause the pistons and valves to collide?

How about fitting the kr head in the 9a?

I dunno, just want more power on the cheap!!

Anyone got an exhaust manifold for a 9a?

Cheers Now!!
