Can you confirm you cranked the engine (on the key) with the spark plug base against the engine - and no spark was observed. The distributor has a 3-pin connector: pin 1 - 0v pin 2 - timing signal from the ECU pin 3 - 12v The hall sender is also a 3-pin connector: pin 1 - 0v pin 2 - signal to ECU pin 3 - 12v Check the power is present across pins 1 and 3. The distributor is powered by the ignition (terminal 15) and the hall sender is powered through Relay 3 - the ECU power supply relay - sharing power with the injectors.

Cheers Pete, thank you. I really should have been more active up until now. I've learnt a wealth of knowledge from being a vr6oc member and should be trying to put something back! Maybe a build thread once I get it all together again.

Hey guys after a 7 year build my mk2 is on the road so I thought I'd sign up and say hi to you all

Hi everyone...after 3 years of membership I suppose I better introduce myself to keep using the forum. Got my 98 highline 4 years back and since then it's had nearly every bolt undone/cleaned/renewed over 2 rebuilds. Currently still in garage, on rebuild number 2 ( all the things I missed/couldn't afford first time round!). Pregnant Wife and a 2 year old make this list rather large! Down in Stranraer SW Scotland so well out of way. Anyone swinging by or catching boat drop me a line (I work on it)

I finished up a full rebuild to my 2.9 VR6 and now it will not get spark to the plugs. Coil wire has 11.8v to distributor. Crank sensor shows 900 ohms Female plug that connects to the distributor shows 12v on one pin and 5v on the other. Unable to get any ohms reading across the hall sensor male connector pins. Did my hall sensor go out or could it be a fried ecu?

hi ive just got round to getting the car running and testing things that work, the engine runs fine no issues at all but the temo gauge in the car doesnt show anything even when cars been running for awhile ive done the fuse box jump from d8 to e2 as it says but still doesnt show anything? ive also connected the aux pump wire into d3 as says to but that doesnt work either its brand new works fine with it wired straight to the battery but not when engine is running or when youve had the car running and then turn it off doesnt kick in either is there something im mising out or is th

@VR6Pete ok thank you ill give this ago tomorrow after work and have the 3 sensor in the thermostat housing coming tomorrow so ill fit them and go from there trying all the little ways youve said and let you know my findings thanks

The yellow sensor on thermostat housing what you need to look at. Yellow sensor also controls aux pump after run. You can bridge the wires on the plug and you should see temp gauge move.

Got the switches installed in the dash And used some flock to make them look nice [emoji23] Soon as I get the leds I'll get them installed into the centre for indicators etc [emoji4]

Heat shield I made for the new loom Just welded to bolts to the car so the heat shield is now removable

Anything from a £20 flashing tool to £200,000's worth of equipment really! There's various elements to tuning and variances between ecu's/brands so you start by what market you want to do it for and work from there. Cheapest way to tune a car for yourself would be to get a cheap ebay clone like this; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MPPS-V13-02-Interface-Cable-OBDII-OBD2-VW-AUDI-BMW-Citroen-ECU-Flasher-/201620158317?hash=item2ef17f776d:g:zkgAAOSwRJ9XgQc0 I've used that exact tool on a mate's 20vt as it's all we had to hand at the time and he'd already used it

Soooooo this is the car at the moment ahahha now installing emu standalone and have it running roughly but running bmw dbw now installed more options on stamdalone this way ripped out tons of wiring and have run complete new harnesses inside and out lol new brake lines and abs removed became unsafe ? Soon be building 3" exhaust probably this weekend

Cheers Guys ! and thanks for the great comments! Yes has been a long time and I still get a lot of enjoyment out of the club and the value it gives our many members and visitors. I have no intentions of letting the club slip, lets hope we get some willing people who want to help to take the club to new heights
