How's the running in coming along mate @robthedoc ?
Things haven't been going as smoothly as I hoped for guys. Been crazy busy trying to get it to go properly to run it in but... It's been problem after problem.
My s300 started playing up and wouldn't recognise the wideband on analog 0. Managed to get it to work on analog 7 but then had issues with it seeing an eld signal even though the wire had been cut.
@jesse888 is a hero amongst men and sent me his s300 to try as the other one I had turned out motto be a hondata ecu as the sticker on it and seller of the car had us believe lol.
Anyway jesses got it working a bit better but still having issues. Originally when electrical load was switched on lights, heaters, rear screen etc the afr would lean off. Strange as the eld had been cut and it shouldn't of been having such a dramatic change in fuelling. Strapped the sh*t out of it. There are literally earths everywhere. Some management adjustments and the problem reversed! Started to richen up massively she load was applied.
So... New alternator and battery went in yesterday. Seems to run ok but.... (You knew it was never going to be that easy) when driving at part throttle the wideband gauge leans off to the point that the car should be undriveable but it's not it seems fine. So I've borrowed a wideband sensor that will hopefully fit in place of mine today to test. So will update with how that goes.
Seriously stressed with it. But can't thank Aonghus enough for the amount of help and time he's put into getting it going. I'm probably not helping matters as I've got so much into this now I'm doubting myself at every step. But in all seriousness the mans a ledge and we wouldn't be this close to getting it sweet without his time and help. Cheers again mate!
Gutted for you mate... hating cars today.
Damaged by the guy doing the MOT!
New one looks the mutts!
Will be burning the midnight oil for the next couple of days then! What do you have left to do?
That sump is glorious!
