    if your engine is obd1 then you will need 109 relay but if obd2 then the relays in your fuse box is fine. when you say you have no spark it wont be a knock sensor as this just picks up any knock in the engine and will adjust ignition timing to stop the knock, have you tried checking the crank position sensor? this could be a possible culprit

    well that was a PITA to find this problem but think ive finally found the cause. the bit of pipe that joins the 2 exhaust manifolds together is leaking so one can assume that the lambda is picking up more oxygen in the exhaust , so that is telling the ecu to dump more fuel in to compensate the extra oxygen, hence the lean misfire when warm.just need to try seal it at the weekend ? any ideas on how I could seal the little nuts on the exhaust manifold the the joining pipes go into? cheers

    hope someone can shed some light on this. when the car gets to operating temps I get a sputter/misfire when I rev from idle up to about 1.5k revs. This doesn't do ths when engine is cold. I have replaced very recently the following parts. coilpack dizzy cap rotor arm fuel filter lambda sensor battery idle air control valve relays took out plugs and gave them a good clean. im guessing its something ti do with open/closed loops, hence the reason it happening only when warm? could it possibly coolant temp sensor and would this cause the problems im having ? ive just ordered a genuine coolant temp

    I have exactly the same problem on my 94 obd1, sounds like it coming from piston one area. after 30secs the engine is really quiet? my oil light started to flash as I was turning the key with coil unplugged to see if I could build up oil pressure to prime the lifters. ive also noticed my oil temp doesnt get past 80 so im guessing my oil is possibly too thick on cold startup hence the knock? im not sure what oil is in it but I know its at its required level and been recently replaced by the previous owner. should I try 5/30 or 10/40 im in the south of the uk and wondered what would be best for

    just recently done a obd1 vr6 engine conversion and im having problems with a battery drain. i replaced alternator , battery , checked for current on the exciter wire which was all good . checked the alternator was charging and getting 14v. now when i done an amp test i was getting a battery drain of 1.62 amps which is killing the batterys. so i started pulling fuses and still getting the same drain. i then pulled relay 109 and it dropped to 0.16 . the relay is new (non genuine) so im going to go for the genuine one. but what i wanted to know was what would cause that relay to drain. could it

    it might help to pour a little bit in the pump. when I done mine the pump was bone dry, when I started the engine the pump got really hot to the point where it was boiling the fluid as It finally reached the pump. after that I would always put a drop of oil in it before filling the reservoir.

    So the time come to do my vr6 conversion which was started on the 1st November after 18 hours of hard work (over a period of three day) the vr6 is finally in and running. After start up there was a high pitched squeal coming from the engine so I took the water pump out and found it wasn't in the best of conditions. the plastic blades had also come off so it was time to order a new on. I took the aux belt off and started the engine again and was running sweet so I knew the problem wasn't coming the engine and was come from the pulley area. I got the engine 3 weeks ago and gave myself plenty o

    Does anyone know if my 16v abf throttle cable will fit to the vr6 ? or is the vr6 cable longer? only reason i ask is the throttle bodies are in a similar position. Just sorting the last of the bits i possibly need before i start the conversion.
