I have been checking various sensors today and evrythings seems fine except the throttle body heater it should be reading 2 ohms but mine is reading 50+ ohms, can this be causing the problem? |

I'm not sure how to check the exhaust. That has given some people problems. One guy actually took his head off trying to diagnose the problem.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

I simply cant understand why they would need a heater as the cooloer the ait the better. Do you mean the tb? Since the first engine sucked in air, intake air has been heated to some extent. Remember on cars equipped with carburetors there was a large tube that connected to the air cleaner? Well the other end of that hose was connected to a heat collector around the exhaust manifold. This is how warm air got to the carburetor. There's two reasons we want to heat the incoming air. The first is that the atomized fuel will mix with warm air better than cold air. This was actually more important with carburetted engines rather than fuel injected engines. The second reason is to keep the throttle chamber from freezing. Yep, that's right. I said freezing. As in ice forming inside the throttle chamber. Anyone who lives where it gets cold in the winter has heard of "wind chill". It'll be 30 |

Lack of power problem sorted, the timing was a tooth out. The garage that did the timing belt before i got it made a royal c*nt of it. But i still have the starting problem but i think that may be due to the imobiliser and its playing up at the moment. |
