Hi everybody, The tps is not the adjustable one and timing is 100%, key is also 100%, all brand new. However I have now finally found out the final problem which resolved power loss, idling, jerking etc. the car hasn't run this smooth since 2019. It was actually such a silly issue I really...

I believe I might have found the source of the issue. On Friday morning I was checking oil water etc. before heading out and out of my frustration I decided to unplug my TPS sensor just for the heck of it because why not. While driving I realized that the issue is no longer there. I pulled in...

Good day Varnis9 So I finally managed to get a gap between all the rain to test, all ground points from -ve test 0.01 ohms Problem still persists

Hi everybody, Apologies for the long wait, we had 2 weeks of non stop rain so I couldn't test. Rain cleared up yesterday so hopefully I'll be able to test later on today again. Varnis9

Will do and give feedback again, thank you

Hi Varnis9, Thank you for your input. I'll do the test as you described anyways as I've been struggling with this for very long and will do and redo everything and anything just to get this figured out but I respectfully disagree with your statement. My multimeter was set in resistance mode...

Hi everybody, apologies for the silence, I only managed to get to testing today so here goes: I recently also replaced main battery cables to 35mm². Batt to Body - 0.0Ω Batt to Engine - 0.0Ω( Interesting note as I'm not sure if this is normal: When engine is off, ignition on and off Batt to...

True, I was actually testing to make sure there are no breaks or shorts in the wiring but you are preaching the truth. I couldn't get to testing yesterday, work flooded in but am testing today

Checked for air leaks yes, no air leaks. I tested 3 ground points. Battery to body, gnd point under the sill cover and battery to engine. I cannot recall the readings so I'll do that again tomorrow and give feedback. Thinking about it I don't even think I really took note of any readings, I...

Does it all round, idling, driving slow, heavy load, it's constant but erratic, there's no pattern

Standard box and filter

Brand new with brand new fuel pump a couple of times. Also had the idea but from past experience it doesn't give symptoms of fuel starvation. That usually occurs when floor it when there's an increase of fuel pressure.yet I tried it anyways but the problem persists. Actually fixed that problem...

Good day, Just earlier I removed my fuel relay and removed all plugs and did a compression test. I was in fact mistaken with the readings I gave in my original post, my memory failed me XD. The actual readings are cyl1 - 3 1350psi(13.5 bar) cyl 4 1450psi(14.5 bar) I'm not actually sure if the...

Never had a lambda sensor at all. I'll post a photo later on in the day of the voltage divider configuration. Engine code is the C16SE, and in South Africa it's a 1998 but I've come to understand through years of searching for manuals etc. that in UK it's the 1994 model. We South Africans...

Good day everybody. I am at my witts end here and really need some input. From 2017 to 2019, I was driving 3000+ Km's every 2nd month. The very last trip I had to do in 2019 is where this issue started. The car was running fine up to the point where I arrived at my destination, where it was...
