I see what you did there. OK the aircon man has been and he was just the sort of guy you want working on your car. I only rang him on Saturday morning and he came tonight at around 6:40 - didn’t leave until 8:30. Before he came he’d downloaded the classic retrofit manual and read up on what was need...

Dropped the ecu off this morning and met David. Nice guy - he said he’ll do what he can to turn it around quickly for me which is great. I’m just hoping that it is the ECU - that is the problem. Every thing we did points at that though so fingers crossed.

The AC guy is calling around later on today

Have a look on impact bumpers - I seem to recall there’s a thread on this

Ok so while I can’t do anything more on the engine (I’m going to drop the ecu off at David’s - Canems- house tomorrow ) I thought I’d attend to the little jobs I was going to do once I’d got it running. The first was the front left indicator not working. Unusually for me I approached it methodically...

Once again Bruce you are way beyond my pay grade but I know a beep when I hear one and when I don’t. Thanks for your help!

OK I’ve done that now - disconnected all three on a bank and then tested for continuity between the two pins. No continuity on either bank which is good

Ah so I should disconnect all 3 of them and then test?

I’ll try that later.

I actually heard back from David at Canems late last night saying he’s away today but if I post it to him at home he’ll aim to get it back to me in time. Excellent service.

With the ECU plug disconnected, there shouldn’t be continuity between the injector plug pins. The ECU injector driver probably links the injector signal wire to 12v via a resistor when not firing the injector (a “pull up” resistor) and a semiconductor will sink it to ground when the injector is ope...

Not really sure on this continuity idea now. I’ve unplugged the injector loom and I get continuity between the two pins on every injector - even with the main injector loom unplugged. The only thing I can think of is that the two pins are connected somehow inside each plug - which I just don’t under...

Thanks Jon - no it’s modified too much I think - not entirely sure though. The distributor has been replaced and it’s got a MAF instead of the barn door, and a new/different WOT switch Just tested across the two pins in the injectors plugs and I’m getting continuity from each one. Looking at the dia...

Ok so he didn’t respond to that last email so I’m not going up today. I’m going to post the ECU to him (after I’ve checked the injector boots for a short) and hope he can fix it and get it back to me on time. With regard to checking the injector plugs for shorts, thinking about it I should be able a...

Yes - he's been good to me in the past too. I've said that I'm going to drive up on Monday as I don't work Mondays - might be easier if I see him face to face. Even if he can't do it there and then at least I know he's got it and he appreciates the urgency EDIT - now I've found he's on holiday next ...

Ok this morning I got a response from Canems! First he's suggested checking the boots under the injectors to make sure I haven't got a short. He's suggesting this on the basis that I've done a bit of work on the engine and they may have been touched/knocked. I didn't touch them or disturb then durin...

I’ve gone through the software manual and there was a test to confirm that the crank sensors are both working. I ran that and it confirmed that they are
