Guest El87cabi Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Well further testing has revealed that has been cured but now the car, not too sure how to explain it, at times you'll be getting to top rev's and the car will feel like it stalls but it hasn't, it's more a total loss of power, sometimes preceded by a misfire. It happened before the new ISCV too so i'm expanding the fault finding to the engine speed sensor and the DIS module, if that don't do anything i guess i should swap ECU's before i get a new ISCV, which will probably cure all the faults and more but if a patent 1 is £92 i dread to think what ford will want. Oh well, have a nice sunday everbody, i'm off to tinker with the cars Edited September 25, 2011 by El87cabi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El87cabi Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi all, short hand tonight, New crank sensor (intermotor) no choice, might be faulty New gen ford iscv (mine was hf cabi mk4, hf xr2i) Swapped altenator for spare, found tensioning bracket not connected to bracket on block due to snapped bolt Swapped entire bracket Sunday Took out lady friend, car ran like shit. Monday Turned up at ford parts for the 2nd time that day now with entire spare throttle bodies and inlet manifold Ordered ACT sensor, almost fell over when i was handed the mani water temp sensor they had in stock?!?!?!? New Bosch Super 4's And 1 Honking great Exide Battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El87cabi Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 No more jump starts for me Have done a few other bit n pieces, Fitted the heated rear screen cables from Bulldog Fitted an electric ariel using the mounting parts from Bulldog once again Have finally this evening fitted the water temp sensor, not before flushing the system and dropping the heater box again?!? Totally knackered, can't even be bothered to refill the coolant and run her up, deal with it tomorrow, if this doesn't do the trick i think i'll do the inlet mani gasket 4 new plus iscv same, then b4 or after the edis module off bulldog to see of that does nething. Oh well, we'll see tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El87cabi Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I figured it out Dodgy earth to TPS sensor caused by plug refitting (not me) with single crimp connectors near to loom Don't i feel a prat, never saw the bulge in the tape til i jiggled the wire and the revs shot up But her ladyship now works correctly, and as the fuel tank got dropped alan and i found 2 kinks in the fuel feed pipe from the fuel pump too Sooo........ :banana_dance: :banana_dance: :banana_dance: Now to drop 2 engines, possibly 3, cut up the spare car and get her ladyship jigged, still a fair way to go.

Guest Lee81 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 watch out for the bosch super 4 plugs i've ran those and come across others. They affect the tune of engine slightly over normal plugs timing wise. Also seen a few coil problems after they have been in place for few months.

Guest El87cabi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi all, finally got some spare time so i thought i'd add the bits i've done to the SE since my last post plus add today's update the engine is finally out of the donor car Finally got the correct airbox lid from the donor cars previous owner plus the spot brackets and a brand new rocker cover The dodgy cabling that was causing my running fault The fuel tank Alan and i dropped before i found the dodgy cabling (we did this on new years day) Top mod for mk4 mfi or efi You know, i get the sneaking suspicion this car has not lead a very law abiding life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El87cabi Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm not holding my breath, lmao Still have a Stealth to be repaired, My mechanic John is going to drop the lump on the SE and leave it as a rolling shell with interior n no front bumper Then comes the jigging bit nervous about that If all goes well and i can afford it her Ladyship will be off to have her bodywork looked at and well, i don't know whats going to happen there, the paints not standard, car has most definately had a full strip down and respray at some point in her life and i have no idea what the colour is, paint code is SX0 i think and i can't find it on the paint code info on here That's the plan at this point up to engine's will be interesting to see how much i stick to it, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El87cabi Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 1st bit accomplished Who says you can't get lower chassis legs? Took the other 1 just in case How to take the top off a cabi - and the front and most of the sides Now i had told the old man this was going to be weighed in, but now i see it like this, a train of thought has chuffed its way into the station and a little idea has got out.
