hi guys,
been having some nice drives out in my R following the rebuild in the summer, went to donnington yesterday just to watch as it was an unsilenced track day... another one tomorrow..(friday 30th). some nice quick motors there:twisted: however, i have a niggling fault with my car would really appreciate some help..
Ok,dont know if i had the problem before number 4 piston decided to let go before i had to rebuild, (guess not given how rapid it was), however, im showing code 34 whenever i do a code check. yesterday when i got to donnington, i noticed one of the electrical connectors to number 3 injector was slightly pulled out of the cap by about 4mm, i pushed it back in and the car felt to idle better. I reset the codes and drove around the large carpark for a couple of times, only gentle throttle and low boost, (felt much quicker) re checked the codes and still showing 55 :-D. Drove the car back to sheffield and re checked, now showing 34 again:sad:......... question is - is it the det sensor, ecu, or another problem - fuelling etc. I guess there are many things that can set of det but cant see anything obvious, only on low boost, plugs a great light colour, great compression, set timing to 20 deg............
if it was the det sensor, how long would it take to show up code 34 from beiong zero'd? I know its not recommended but what if i want to relocate or disable the det sensor, how to etc?
any thoughts guys would be appreciated as im currently 60% happy with my car..8)
also, just a quick question, are there any how to guides for changing front pads as i understand the rears need a special tool to rorate piston.........
cheers and all the best,
Lee
