aye the spare one ive got is on the end of a broken pb fuel rail,same to look at but probably not good for the g60? cheers keith.
ah! suppose i should check the part numbers,would be the best bet eh? but i dont reckon itll sort it,like everything else ive tried just no confidence in anything i think of trying. cheers guys.
Keep at it Riley! You'll sort it in the end. You have to, there's a Mk1 needs sorting I have no technical advice whatsoever to offer, but blimey if ever there was a thread on here that demonstrated the depth of technical knowledge and willingness to help others that this community has, this is it...
aye the mk1 needs me and i need it and as for the guys here sticking with the topic,thanks again i think its getting a bit boring now?,but after countless threads as big as/bigger than this,there isnt a lot left to try and ive run out of ideas/determination ive never hated a car so much in my life,really got me down tbh. neil.
Just a thought here, but have you ever tried changing the coil at all? and the coil - dizzy Ht lead? I may just be p****** in the wind but they are valid suspects methinks. Again, keep at it riley, you know it's going to be the best feeling in the world when you try something and it fixes it.
yep,swapped the coil and all leads/dizzy cap/rotor arm over from the cab,ran it for a bit and it was just the same. cheers m8,neil.
I keep watching that video and thinking how much it reminds me of when the condenser went on my old 1.1 Mk1. I'm SURE your problem is electrical, but feel free to poke me in the eye if i'm wrong.
im sat poking myself in the eye for not getting anywhere with it m8. not sure what else i can try leccy wise,apart from the injector loom etc,ill really have to be in the mood for messing with that again though,relays etc too i suppose? oh,forgot to add i fitted more new throttle body gaskets which i forgot i had,thought it best with having had the t body off a few times tring to sort this problem. i de-wdged it too still runs exactly the same though.
i think at this point Riley you`ve got to try the injector loom and ecu loom by swapping out with another one, or build one up from scratch? I built a G60 loom from a digi2 loom and it wasn`t that difficult. I`ve seen plenty off loome where the sheaths on the individual wires were ok but there was a break in the actually wire inside, very hard to pinpoint and gives all sorts of faults..
aye i dont really want to chop into the wiring to keep the original connectors etc,i have got a near full loom from a 9a lump... just wondering if most of those connectors will do? not sure the ecu plug is the same though,motronic i think? ive also got the injector loom from a pb golf,ill have to try that when i can build up the enthusiasm to do it oh and ive checked out the fpr part numbers,theyre the same for the pb and pg so ill give the pb one a try at some point too. cheers,neil.
Can't beleive this is still not sorted Neil. I don't come on here much, but I followed your thread on the Corrado forum. Just assumed it was sorted now. Keep going, its a beautiful car.
mmmm,ive got a 9a sat doin nowt,and a set of 45's and all thats needed to get it running mmmmmm,think it would devalue the car though? ps:havent tried anything else as yet,probably try this spare fpr ive got next,keep seeing looms etc for sale but im feckin skint through owning the feckin thing in the first place aye,still! going on m8 it just gets a bit much using so many forums and having so many threads on the go about it. thanks for the beautiful comment too,wish i could agree! ps:does anyone fancy trying my old ecu? with the superchip in? just for the hell of it? dont know if it will help confirm anything like cheers,neil.
