would a dodgy gauge sensor cause me this many problems though ? Just spent last 2 hrs cleanin all plugs and connections I can find under bonnet, dont really know what else I can try now tbh gotta admit it's grindin me down now. If anyone has any more ideas please shout out.

:down: well had to nip out and tow it home again...:blush: No time to play with it now. its the one day i work these days. So back to square one 2morra unless the ecu needs to settle in as you say. Does car need to be running for that frank or as long as its all plugged in it sorts itself ...

so what would you recommend now with the fan Frank ?. Should I have it bridged so its on all the time or do you think I still have a problem from ecu not switchin it on when needed. I just found a old post about the connector on temp sensor having grease all over it and it caused the guys...

Yep well im mad that way :laugh: daughter was gonna scrap it when mot ran out but I took it and had new xmember on it and got full ticket.Car was a lil cracker till all this started and besides it's a learning curve, I know a bit more about the thing now :p Anyhow I just changed the ecu and so...

Right well I just swapped em over, cap.. leads everything so will I have to open it up to adjust something ? it is running real rough but that could be to do with my main problem which I have not cured yet ( as in other post) Cheers Ian

Noddie, Big thanks for your offer of the ecu I appreciate that but I have one organised in the morning and breaker is only half hr away plus he only wants a tenner (same as the guy today).Might as well try that at least I can have a go tomorrow. If there are any problems or it turns out to be...

it's a 94 micra dot. 1.0 16v

Well when I went the breakers the ECU he had was a lot bigger, more square where mine is oblong shape. Helet me try it anyway but must be nats or just totally different cos when I plug it in it dont even prime the pump. Not been able to get another today but have found one a bit further away...

well cant see anything wrong with that connection at ecu , just rang breakers an he has one for a tenner so can I just swap the ecu and try that or are they coded for each car or something.Sorry if that's a stupid question but Im lost if its after 83 and doesn't have fiesta on the boot :laugh:

How much you asking for it ? not sure what kind of budget my daughter has but will show her the pics, have you any more of inside etc. I like those wheels btw thought they suited it, what they off ?

I would be well chuffed if was the connection, will check again in morning but looked ok last time I looked at it. Frank that's a nice toy to have and would be tempted once the car is sorted as I may need the cost of that for more bits first.:laugh:

looks nice..why break it. Sure you would sell easy enough or does it have problems.

cheers fella's will have another go at it tomorrow.

Well seems ur right Frank :( updated my other post but replacing dizzy didn't work.grr

Nope not solved it:down: think it's time to buy a new pump maybe, as I got the last one from breakers so could be faulty too. When RAC fella tested lekky side of pump he said it was at 6 (not sure if he meant volt or amp etc) and normal is between 4 and 8 so was happy with it but did mention...

Ok thanks frank, sounds too easy :laugh: so there's no playing around with timing or anything ? Just hope RAC guy is right and this solves it now.

Sorry micras69 I forgot about this thread.. price sounds good if it's still available. Dont want to sound cheeky but is it a known good one ? just ive had 1 from the breakers and not too confident it is a good one. cheers Ian

Hi again, I just got a replacement dizzy from the breakers, when I swap it over do I just set pulley to second mark (tdc so ive read) then it's ok to swap them. Thanks Ian

lil update.. just had rac out again and after spending a while checking/testing everything he reckons it is a faulty dizzy. So off to find a dizzy and leads and see if I can finally get this sorted.

Lenzar .. Did you solve this problem ? Are you having any other symptoms apart from it dying (does it get hot too or fan not coming on) mine did the same thing as yours and after changing the pump I still have the same problems. Im not suggesting it is the same trouble we have, just curious as...
