am i right in saying the car wont run if you diconnect the knock sensors? Maf is good changed it twice for a known good one. does anyone know where all the earths are for the engine is there only the one that comes off the starter?

cheers guys ive had the imobiliser removed from the ecu by c2 motor sport. also have had the after market alarm and imobliser removed and a new one fitted no difference. also replaced the ignition switch today

my car had had issuses for a while! ive posted before but and followed advice given but still not working. the car is a 1990 mk2 with a ce2 loom, the engine is a 2.8 obd1 with coil pack. the problem is the car randomly cuts out it doesnt hesitate ot go lumpy it just cuts out followed by the control unit clicking. (changed this twice) then when i try to start it again it will run for a few seconds then stop, ive had the a lead off and you can see the spark stop after a few seconds. so far i have changed the coil pack, leads, plugs, crank sensor, ignition switch. checked all the wiring from the

cheers guys, what would be best to connect it to? im guessing if its an earth it should go on the body somewhere. or if it wont fit maybe run another cable off it to the body?

i've been digging around under the dash trying to find the source of my car cutting out i found these wires not plugged in to anything does anyone know what they are and if they are needed? also found this should it be connected to an earth?

been tolf it could be my ignition switch breaking down it there a way to check this?

not to sure seems to be pretty random think it must be eletrical might take the dash out and give the wires behind a good sorting out

just put the cap back on and ran for another 10 didnt cut out atall. this is anyoying.

was running fine for 15 mins and besides dipping in revs when the fans cam on nothing just put the cap on to see what happens now

well the thing is i didnt have a donner car and its caused me no end of problems i brouht "everything you need to conver your mk2 8v to a vr6" from some one off ebay they were also on a few forums so thought it would be cosha turns out loads of bits were missing and the loom was a right state. i managed to repair the loom all tested and good but it didnt have the port on it.

strange car wouldnt start. the relay that came with the mk3 loom started going mental clicking like mad took it out and swapped it with another one with 53 on it same thing. after a few mins started and is running fine. fuel filler is off now.

cool will try that right now

it probably takes a good five mins but can be totaly random. how would i tell if its starved of fuel? and where is the fuel breather to check? cheers

only problem is ive not got diagnostics port. anyone have a guild to fitting one to a mk2? ive tried the mk2vr6 forum but noone seems to have one.

After some help yet again. Just put my engine back in after finaly fixing the oild leak (don't buy after market main crank oil seals). Tidyed up the engine loom even have the rev counter working now, which is nice . However the probelm is the car randomly just stops from time to time, makes no odds if its cold or warm, dosnt seem to get lumpy, just cuts out. it starts again no problem. also happens when im driving it will just judder as if the car has lost all power and bump starts it self. makes no difference if its bummpy road, under load or just cruising happpens is any gear. its a mk2
