Title: TB1 Misfiire - bit of fun
Post by: TheBoy on 05 September 2006, 12:29:52
A bit of light hearted fun, why is Proj TB1 misfiring.

No prizes, not even extra posts added to your count.

What d'ya reckon?

(BTW, at this point in time, I haven't even looked at why its missing)

Not voted as I think maybe both the leads and the dis pack only am I right to think the dis pack came from a scrappy so could be on its way out. :)

Edit -   Just voted for the leads you never know. :)

Leads and DIS are from scrappy, due to 'holding back' (but not missing in same way as now). Changed DIS first, no difference, changed leads for slight improvement. Real problem that time was knock sensor...

Knock sensor would this cause the EML to come on.

Any EML coming on at all at the moment?

Don't get excited, it was me. ;)

Just hoping it is the plug as they are the easiest to get at.

You ain't put the dealer option in the poll.
Change the ECU.

But I'm gonna guess at the DIS, and I emphasise GUESS.

In my honest opinion, I think it could be none of the above suggestions, but then again it could be any one, or all of them. ;)

You'll be pleased to know that I don't think it was DIS. Seeing as I haven't touched DIS, and its running well today (touch wood)
