Checked battery voltage when turning over and the battery despite showing 12.6v wasn't cranking enough. Sometimes the voltage is OK, but current needed is not there. I had the same situation with my honda. It was giving 12.7V, but not turning the engine. Tester showed it had 120 Amps out of declare...

It won't turn over and when the key is in the third start position the needles don't run round the dials?

If that was the case, that was the sign of a flat battery. Is the battery OK?

Not done yet, but all planned for!

I would recommend using the EHPAS from Toyota MR2, the later model. It is all in one unit with ECU incorporated and you get to keep the steering rack as it is. Check my thread for details on that

afaik it needs to re-perform the test to put the light out

Yes, you need to reach 20 kph for the system to perform self test and then it will put the light out if all is as it should be

Wrong button, no post!

Yes, the system monitored that front wheels have been spinning, but the rears not. ABS does not know that the car was jacked up and so concludes that the rear sensors are potentially dead. Hence the warning light. Once you reach 20 kph speed, the ABS will trigger self test and erase the DTC and put ...

THE PAS switch is normally open, I believe. Only when steering opened to max, it should close. So it is rather straight forward test. See with multimeter what is its state and them with wire short the connector pins to see if the engine revs rise a bit

I would start by looking out for a major vacuum leak...

It's now rocking a TD04HL-19T Turbo from Kinugawa with a custom made manifold by someone local. The rest I made custom myself. It's already running for 6.000 KM's without any problems. It's currently running around 0.7/0.8 bar of boost and making around 200whp/350nm torque. What is the response of ...

https://i.postimg.cc/Z08pBL3q/020520204324.jpg Barry, I will just hijack your thread a bit. Seeing the engine from this angle I have a question: if you wanted to get rid of the PS pump (as in this image there is none), but wanted to keep the A/C compressor (also not here on this image) what sort of...

Thank you Wild E Coyote your an absolute star! Been doing a bit gardening work to keep the wife happy. Managed to make a couple of shims to lower the front of the gearbox. Currently have a jack under the engine to get he engine, level. I am now able to closee the bonnet without having to cut too mu...

Have you checked the brakelines? I would disconnect them one at a time at both ends and check them for blockage or internal collapsing points

Does this answer your question? The camcover is not flat, and the level is not 100% horizontal, and given the line of thought I would pursue and go for a roundish number, I'd call that inclination of 12 degrees....

Hope that helps

The copper is not as strong as steel. And when ABS modul activates, pressure pulsations can get very strong. I guess that is the reason

Don't know how it is with you, but here the brake lines can not be made of copper. Subject to MOT fail...

Hi, are the taillights and the grille still available? Would be willing to post them to Croatia, please?

I tried them as well and they were horrible. Put stock HB3's back into the car and they work better than the LED's I tried. Not worth the hassle, IMHO

On the back side of engine block there is M10 bolt, just next to the driveshaft bracket. Unscrew that and insert the locking pin. Be advised, it is only for positioning the crank, not to hold it against when undoing the pulley on the front. For locking the crankshaft there is a special tool that gra...

Only 2.0 liter option is listed now. I am almost 100% certain the 2.0 liter kit would work on 1.6 as well with different PCM, but... Anyway, it is water under bridge now, as I have collected everything already and will be sticking to SCS Delta option for now. Cheers for the link. Makes you wonder wh...

Iv got a puma 1.7 and wanting to fit a lsd. Dose the escort rs turbo series 2 8 bolt lsd fit into the gearbox without any modifications. If someone could help and shed me some light that would be awesome 😎 Hi Fatboy, It fits. You will need get about a mm or so shaved of the crown wheel and that is ...

Yes, I got myself one as well. Although, would love to crack down the canbus thing and use the stock Ford one for peace of mind regarding the cold start performance etc... But can't find a good how to on creating your own canbus. There are books floating around mainly adressing the reverse engineeri...

Hi there
Did you ever get this going

The brakes are working perfectly. If you are reffering to the ecoboost engine swap project, it is waiting for the weather to warm up a bit: all the bits and pieces are there. Now it it 'just' a matter of bolting it all together...

Way to many colours for my taste, but admiring the effort!
Looking nice soooo clean!
