KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 That is great news persistence payed off, look forward to seeing the progress now it is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Bought new leads, dissy cap and rotor today, made very little difference. Next thing to try is ECU fault codes. Anyone have a list, or know where to find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hallelujah! The end is in sight. Took the POS back to Jonny and did some tests and fixed a couple of small things. Car got better and better as I drove home. Car is now about 75% right, so good to finally make some progress. Thanks heaps Jonny, UR a legend. Funny story that happened today too...http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=21921&st=1020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZ Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Was in hobart sunday and saw this car RACING through town, weaving in and out of traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Was in hobart sunday and saw this car RACING through town, weaving in and out of traffic. Its absolutely flat out doing 110 km/h down hill and has very poor throttle response, I might have been trying to keep momentum up. It didn't start running better until I got to Sorell, then it magically came good. I very much doubt my speed would have been more than 10 km/h over the limit. Sorry if I scared/offended anyone.

machg Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Likes: higher revs, partial throttle, lower gears. Dislikes: lower revs, full throttle, higher gears. Interestingly, it will tolerate full throttle at high revs in lower gears. Still very soft throttle response. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It sounds like a load issue, like a faulty MAP sensor. But you don't have one do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yeah, no MAP sensor, still have more tidying up to do, and some wiring to double check, thanks for feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Have fiddled with the airflow 'mixture' screw (actually a simple air by-pass) and car is running a bit better again, still not 100%. Had a wierd problem with it spitting the HT lead off number 3 plug, but that seems to have come right as well. Have a set of 2nd hand 195/50r15s to throw on the TRX rims, hopefully the local servo will let me use their tyre changing machine, LOL.

Â Start with a few basics again compression test, HT lead Resistance, Plug gap,spark intensity, fuel age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Start with a few basics again compression test, HT lead Resistance, Plug gap,spark intensity, fuel age. 150 psi on all 4, 'new' leads, new plugs, average, new fuel. Because it is running "O.K." I am thinking of pressing on and turbo'ing it, hoping that using a microfueller can compensate for incorrect fuelling. The only thing I can think of checking that I haven't yet is fuel pressure at the rail. Is it possible to get spark plugs that are the wrong resistance or something? It keeps spitting an HT lead off number 3 cylinder! If plugs were too high resistance, I could imagine it might cause this, and maybe the other problems too....The TRX alloys with 195/50R15s look fully sick, no scrubbage except for absolute full lock. Will post pics when I find camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Plug gap is the closest thing you'll get the a resistance rating. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Nah sorry mate, not for a T series. It doesn't have the sticker under the bonnet to tell you? Surely somebody here with a T series will still have the sticker to tell you. :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
