Garage said "there near certain it aint that"

But suppose its just their word, and wont harm getting a new one, as im guessing they aint that expensive.

its about £10 i think

So it may not be the ECU :(

O man im near to giving up.

So Could be either

ECU
Air Coolent Temp
Or maybe timing hasnt been done properly?
Or something to do with the inlet manifold?
Or the K & N cone filter?

:(

luke, i send you the ecu and transponder chip tomorow, u2u me stuff, but i spoke to someone he doesnt think that a chiped ecu shouldnt do that though check inlet manifolds for leaks, possible look into changing coolant temp sensor

Cheers Bieran


any more advice would be good peeps! ;)

i'll get on to him tonite. and could pss get it too you help you out.

the timing could be a cause if the ignition timing is out it will be leaving alot of unburnt fuel. henc HC's and guzzling fuel.

cambelt yea, just wondering if the timing was out.

no problem homie. like i said try an ecu if you get hold of one. i'll ask a mate if he has one. you in telford?

wouldnt apply to the test then if its only at cold.

best option is ecu as its odd that all 3 are so high. specially HC seems like loads of fuel is there unburnt.

timing belt been done recently? timing correct?

edit: you say its thursty too so definetly overfuelling. id say you have a mccains chip in there somewhere

could be a 'chipped' ecu as will just make it overfuel. hence HC reading.

CO2 - misfiring at all?

both will cause lambda reading to be out,
id go with trying a standard ecu first. maybe ask someone to lend you one for the test?

It aint anything to do with the Inlet manifold is it?

Or dodgy ECU? that may of been chipped?

Stuck what to do next :(

If it runs cleanly without oil or smoke then look towards the ECU but it sounds suspicious that the garage didnt check it for fault codes first to find a problem. If code 94 comes up start crying :thumbs: Quad Drive module in the ECu or something.

Or did you have a full system on it?

Ok, as some of you may know ive been having serious problems with emmisions.

At first --

CO2 - (max 0.50) Reading - 5.4%

Hc - (max - 200) reading - 547

Lambada - (0.97-1.03) reading - 1.25


Therefore i have purchased -

New Vaux lamba Sensor
New Standard Vaux Cat
Down pipe to fit Cat to manifold.
New valves etc

But just had a phone call to say its still a big fail, and the readings aint altered at all. :(

Now i aint got a clue what i should do now, the garage did however suggest that the ECU may be the problem, and did ask if it has been "chipped" i dont know. but may of done from the past owner.

So will a chipped ECU mess it up like this? hence me needing to plug another standard X16XE ECU in?

or any other suggestions. BIG help needed

Cheers. appreciate the help guys! :thumbs:
