Riley, I feel so sorry for you mate, i log on everyday to see if you have fixed this yet...please please please keep with it, you just know its going to be something silly and when you fix it you'll still smash it to bits for being so naughty. - Big applause for your efforts so far man. P.s G60Dub sounds VERY intellegent...didnt understand a word he said
Riley, when you find the offending part, send it to me and I'll take a video of me shooting it with my rifle
ok,big thanks to everyone who has tried to help me sort this really,i appreciate it. ive given up now,im just putting up with it and leaving it. neil.
[cough]VR it[/cough] sorry to see this is still causing you trouble riley-you must be at you wits/chequebooks end [:^(] I'd tell you to persevere but i know i'd have given up ages ago-well done for sticking with it I have read the whole thread but only in bits and pieces so apologies if i've missed/forgotten something, but didn't it all go wrong with the fancy charger and chip?? If so, have you spoken to whoever did the work (again, sorry if this is covering old ground)
aye,cheers m8,ive done my best but ive just lost interest now to be honest,i could go ripping the loom out and messing about with that but i really cant be arsed any more it did all seem to start after all the new charger/chip etc,and i fitted it all myself.it ran for the day with no probs though and ive run it without the charger and it still does it. i better stop now because im starting to think about it again cheers guys,neil.
just thought id update this for the crack well,its running as crap as ever,feck it. and erm,its now got a 4th or is it the 5th?(lost count ) fuel leak! again!! and,the power steering is dying,its making a loud droning noise on left lock,suppose its the pump,but i aint fixing it. really sounds like a looked after/cared for/enthusiast owned car dont it? cheers guys i am trying to get rid of the feckin sportline so ive got some room to work on the mk1. neil.
cheers m8 i think i need a miracle now,the car is...fucked. just been laughing in disbelief at the 27 page thread on the rado forum!
mmmm,this problem started at the end of august. in july i fitted the duostyling afr gauge. and ive just read on dubforce that people are having a similar problem to mine after fitting one of these. nice. edit:also ive noticed recently (as well as other things fecking up-fuel leaks-p,steering etc...) the problem never happens when the cars been left overnight,always once its been driven within the last few hours... nice.

Put it back to standard, completely standard if you can. Then if it's running right change the parts over 1 by 1. At least this way you can illiminate them as being f**ked if things start to go pair shaped. Thats the only thing and modifiying everything in one go. If things go pear shaped you have to try and source the problem from quite a number of changes. Stick with it matey, you'll get there!!
cheers m8,id put it back to standard if i could be bothered i dont really have much time at the minute either,but ill find time to smash the afr gauge out of the dash
That sounds like a likely culprit actually - I've always read that an AFR gauge should be run from a separate o2 sensor, as they can throw the readings given to the ECU off. Try just clipping the wire to the gauge......
Crikey, totally agree with TSC. Have you had that AFR connected to the factory o2 sensor all this time?
yeah,connected to the lambda wiring near the plug,is that not right then? ps:trev,i forgot to ask,did you get the ecu back okay? tsc,ill try disconnecting it from the loom,but i cant remember if i tried that somewhere along the line thinking about it... cheers guys.
It should run off it's own sensor, as I said some gauges will throw off the reading the ECU sees.....
