This looks fantastic, great work on the paint, I'd love to have the knowledge to get mine looking that good.

Cheers Luke. I'll be even happier with it if it keeps idling like this from now on: ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

I think the TPS plug might have played a part. I removed the plastic wire shroud as this really kinks the wires and removed the rubber shroud from the top of the plug and there were traces of oil inside. Removed the wires and plug and gave everything a good clean. Then left the battery disconnected over night for an ECU reset. Took a while to get the bloody alarm to turn off after reconnecting the battery though.But looking through my cars history I got with it, there is a piece of paper which reads: "TPS fault- Open circuit" Will be getting it down to the garage to get wiring checked next week. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

Yeah I'll be about. If you need someone to have a look over your car as well, I use someone who was Pug master tech when 6's were about so he knows his stuff.________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

That would be brilliant mate, I really need someone to look at it as I've never so much as seen another in person to make sure mine runs right. |

Glad it's running now mate  That stalling issue is one of the most frustrating things on these cars! ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13  Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |

Have you checked the wiring loom under the thorttle body has not got a spit wire ? Seen that cause eratic idling before, oil tends to leak from the throttle body to inlet pipe union on to that part of the loom which connects to the tps and map sensor and eventy causes the wire to go hard and then fracture. Hope that helps. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6 |

Cheers Stu, there are traces of oil under the TB so you're right. Will remove the inlet piping and have a look at the wiring. Has GOT to be the only problem now.Oh the joys of il-heat shrinked wiring. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

No worries.It can be an arsehole considering where the wiring loom is, it only a short length of loom before going into the main part of the loom. You can also test the continuity with a multi meter which will also prove if there is a break or not. Sounds like wires are still making contact with each other as you said it comes and goes. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6 |

I wonder what the previous owner had done when he had the 'Permanent fault- TPS short/open circuit' found on the diagnostics. Non of the TPS wires looked chopped/repaired when I cut off the plastic shrink etc.Strange. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

Not sure on that tbh. Might have been a fault code stored, sometimes the fault will be stored but the light will not come on.The ecu light is piontless on a 6, it never comes on , could be running 3 cylinders and still will not come on  If it has been repaired before then it is probs the repair joint, a weak soilder joint etc. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6 |

I might go and have a look at my wiring actually. Also the same cable that comes from the MAP sensor has another connector thats plugged into nothing, I assumed it was a spare unused connector but maybe not.Your link doesn't work for me by the way mate. |

Fixed the link now. Cheers. I've got 2 ununsed plugs from the MAP sensor plug I think. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

When the cars running crap it also has the problem like on your video with very slight throttle the revs will hang and drop slowly. Also sometimes when ever you'd set off with the slightest throttle the revs go straight to 2k. It's like the ECU can't detect the movement between 0k and 2k revs.Any way, I've got it booked into 'Carwurx' for the week for Chris to sort it. If not, it's Clio 182 time. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

Hope you get this issue sorted, as is a really nice car. On the paint thing, sometimes it looks OK initially as paint takes up to 6 weeks to fully dry, and there is some shrinkage as it dries which means flaws are not so noticeable initially. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

It's been 'ok' for a week and hasn't done the 3k start idle, but it has cut out a couple times when dipping the clutch.But it's driveable if I'm careful and drives spot on when it's playing ball. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

Right, been on a bit of a spending spree. First bought a new CTS from pug and the car starts ALOT better, no dodgy starts or revs etc.But also bought a set of Bilstein B4s, Eibach 30mm springs, pug strut bearings and metal drop links (thought I'd see how these are as I've only ever used plastic ones before). Got Carwurx to fit them all. Here's how it sits just after fitting:  Think I might have to have a play with the rear beam, the front right sits 15mm higher than the left and the left rear sits 15mm higher than the right. But my driveway might have a slight slant. Also I think the metal droplinks transmit a bit more road noise. But the ride is great on those billys and 'bachs. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |

Well not much has happened except getting the lower engine mount replaced a few weeks ago and it currently having its clutch changed. (GSF had a 41% discount code so brought Valeo kits down to £60!)Managed to find a set of cyclones with centre holes machined out on ebay for just £20:  And now trimming down centre caps so they push right in:  Will be sending them off to the powder-coaters when done. Not messing about doing them myself when it will just cost £60 for all 4. ________________________________________ Ph1 Cossack 6' |
