Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Changing to Blaupunkt head unit - Autoleads?

« on: 24 September 2007, 10:00:27 »

I work in the in car entertainment business, Autoleads do a blaupunkt wheel lead called the pc99-bla if i remember rightly and is available off the shelf in halfrauds for £5.

Most Blaupunkts have the facility for it except the really cheap ones. The 66 should be fine! if you can have a look on the back of the unit, it plugs into the mini-iso port above where you plug your car loom into. The vauxhall leads the expensive bit, bit if you already had you Sony wired up providing you have the new style multi-part system its a £5 swap over

hope this helps.

to sort your memory issue, switch the red and yellow wire over. Most JVC's go from they're own connection to iso so the wire change over is easy This will cure this easy peasy and save you £ on a iso lead. However if the loom plugs straight in the back of the unit then you will need iso adaptor

Well Ive replaced the sensor to no avail. The car again now fires and then cuts out instantly, takes a wee time to fire but im thinking thinking thats because the ecu hasnt had time to reprogramme since i reset it....?

But yes the EML flashes when on ignition click... how/why would the immobiliser go all of a sudden coincidence maybes??? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to test the moby? Im fairly good with electrics, so im gonna study the wiring diagram tonight see if i can bypass it!!

Also as matter of desperation tried unplugging the AFM as suggested no difference.

Pulled the codes and got a wierd one of what appears to be 145 and of course 31, the 19 has disapeered now.

Help me please Im sick of thinking of intuitive ways of getting to work!

Thanks for your replies guys, crank sensor is now ordered.  Also when i pulled the old on out theres was some metal filings on the sensor which worried me as i always try to keep my engine mint! i thought it might be a build up, but popped the sensor back in after i cleaned it tried to start no joy again, but was covered in filings again?

Hi Guys, got a 98/99 mv6, the problems started the other day when i left the car idling for a while to recharge the battery because im a lazy git... i switched her off and then tried to restart her about an hour later. It turned over no problem at all but just wouldnt fire.

There was no smell of fuel or attempt to fire. I went back the following morning and no problem at all... wierd. Didnt have any problems for a week then it cut out while driving and wouldnt restart again... then 30min later fired up and didnt have any problems. So I ran a code check and got 19. So i think its the crank sensor>

However cannot afford to get a new sensor till tuesday thought id put up with it and go steady.... Now the old girl wont start at all, but whereas before she would just turn, now it fires then dies.... and the ecu light is flashing now whereas before it wouldnt....

One of the guys in the garage thinks it maybe the immob kicking in as it fires then dies...

Anymore ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks
Matt

Omega General Help / Very Strange ECU related problem...

« on: 22 November 2007, 11:58:41 »

Hi guys. a few weeks ago i went to start her up and the she just wouldnt fire. opened up the bonnet and heard a solenoid/relay click. after a while i gave it a technical tap... sure enough started ok, and was fine for a few days. its now doing it more regularly and even cut out when driving the other day.

So a friend and I armed with a screwdriver and test light attacked the fuses and relays, no fault found. thinking it was a dodgy relay i began to tap them all. nothing. It wasnt until i caught the ecu with my arm that it cut out! appears that if i move the ecu up or down (started or not) it causes what i will assume to be a lack of spark/fuel... Now the ecu has been chipped, do you guys think it could be the chip or the whole ecu?

any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Matt

PS I have checked as much of the wiring as poss, and cant see any obvious faults..

Its a bit of a bugger eh! Im off to the scrappy today, typically its raining, but heyho! time to get wet im just going to replace the full thing! pump n all! better safe than sorry, dont fancy doing this again!

On the bright side, I was very impressed at how easy the drive belt came off ( just a shame you have to take the intakes/rad etc off to get to it lol!)

Thanks for your help again guys! hopefully the beast will be running again by the eod!

hey kevin, thanks for your reply. The pipe looks as though its been rubbing on something, but dont know what! do you know if you can buy just the rubber bits?! I have a friend whos breaking a 6cyl so can get a hold of the full thing which is why i pulled the whole car to bits to get the pipe out!!! but my what a job!

As with the other issues, thinking back at one point just the tc light came on and i switched off and on again, so maybe a sensor has gone faulty.

back to the pump issue, just before the thing blew up, it was making a lot of noise on the locks, would that be the pump or
something more serious on the rack end?! thanks again, a few photos of my day for you to laugh at

what a mess!



better make some space!



The problem pipe



To take the full copper pipe out, off comes the bumper :s



and the joy of putting it back together again on monday looms like the bad weather over head.

update--- got the pump out... looks ok, but have no way of telling, but the pipe that feeds the motor? had a big slice in it! however what still worries me is all these other "side affects"... any help is appreciated.
