    This I like. Didn't actually realize it was possible. Would be happy with this if I can find someone who can do it - it appears I'm in a Nanocom desert in South Herefordshire & not sure if Stealers will want to do it...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    Spent too many years in & out of The Colonies... Some has rubbed off even though I tried to eddicate them when I could! Besides, truck is about right for something with live axles, innit?

    Thanks. Will sort EKA code before trying anything!

    At the moment the whole system actually works! ;) I'm just trying to preempt issues as the dash display is warning me that the fob batteries are low &, as I only have one fob, I don't want to change them in the next couple of days without some way of starting / re-synchronising the Fob to the...

    Many thanks, will go see them tomorrow. Hopefully it was just someone being lazy over the phone... Any thoughts about Fob battery swap? I assume not a good idea without EKA code. Also, will it automatically re-synchronise with the car after new batteries are installed?

    EKA Code & Main Dealer.

    Hi all, Thought I'd better post this question separately ('98 P38 4.0 Gems Auto SE). I have no EKA code paperwork and, having called my local Main Dealer (Lister's Hereford) asking for help I was told "they can't help as they have no data for something that old..." Clearly, I was a little...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    the core vehicle I do appreciate this; however, if the issue is either modification - or a scrapped vehicle, then comprehensive alterations it will have to be. The young man who's hoping to have the truck off me wants it original ideally as his truck is mechanically sound (other than the...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    Not too fussed with engine swaps... We have a 57 Chevy here with a twin-turbo Lexus LS400, a custom hot rod race car with a V12 Jag motor (dual 750 Holley Carbs on home designed & built Hi Rise intake manifolds), a '39 Packard that's getting a V12 Jag & custom tube chassis (probably going to be...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    Thanks for this - have given a dosing of easy start all over outside of motor in appropriate places (no rev changes - should be no air leaks). Multiport LPG & all pipework is good/sealed. Pulling the intake & ICV / MAF for cleaning this afternoon - have plenty of solvent, so hopefully some...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    I am, thanks for the reminder. Anyone able to advise ref diagnostics? We can handle pretty much anything mechanical in the family without any issues - it's the knowing which components are stuffed which is now the issue & I've just been told to expect around £100 to plug in to a local LR...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    Thanks all for the advice, working through all that I have facilities to do. It now just seems like I'm chasing increasingly random 'stuff' which changes every time I look at it - fired up this morning & it's now lumpy and has a ridiculous idle - 1400rpm on LPG and 2000rpm of Petrol. Anyone...

    Thanks for this information, much appreciated. Will get on and check in daylight.

    Ok, dinosaur here... How do I test the fuel trims? Will clean ICV. Smells very rich.

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    OK, getting even more confused with this truck... I only have current access to a cheap OBD Reader but, when checked it showed the following codes: P0331 - Knock sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2 P1158 Oxygen Sensor Rich Bank B Downstream Catalytic P3999 Generic not found in database...

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    Plugs were done one at a time, thanks. Used to V8 motors (usually Dodge or Chevy) so always do it one at a time. Easy one to make & I WILL go and double check! :rolleyes:

    P38A Getting fed up already (I think)... HELP!

    Thanks. Much appreciated. Will check tomorrow. Wanted to check with folk who know more than me about the particular vehicles & am not afraid to ask. Have generic code reader so might be able to ID some issues. Oddly, not a single warning light on dash or any info in display (& all lights seem to...

    New, but old, but new... and problems already.

    Done... disgustedly o_O
