A long list of
A long list of faults means there is no communication with the diagnostics. You should have a green "Good Idle" button before you read the faults. V4 will not help. Check the OBD connector for corrosion front and back, that is...
With the serial cable plugged in, open Device Manager, and Delete the windows serial driver.
Then run the FTDI Installer. Do not use device manager to install it.
Then back in Device Manager / USB Serial / Properties check the cable...
Yes they will disappear when you delete the windows driver. . . .BUT windows usually reinstalles its own driver after reboot !!
Make sure you only remove the Serial driver, not the entire Ports tree. Do not reboot yet.
Run the FTDI...
You have answered an issue I have had for years, never really looked into it though, my HEVAC has dimmed while pressing the brake pedal for years, I thunked it was normal :)
Thanks Pete
In that case check each of the ground points. It any are rusty, then clean them up & re-fix. Can't do any harm whil;e you're saving for the Nanocom !!
Many years ago, the one on RH front door pillar was going bad on my green P38. The symptom...
Starts and then stops unless I give a fair amount of wellie, it then runs rough as rats, plugged in it runs fine and smooth apart from the random engine dying bit.
I think the MAF is the culprit, when going slow on a roundabout or junction the rpm is in the region of 700ish the MAF reading goes up and down from 25kg and when the car starts to “hunt” it goes down as far as 0 for a second or so. As soon as it...
Although I agree it's unlikely to be the IACV, worth checking & cleaning anyway.
Are all the LPG hose secure on the manifold ? Prob worth cleaning the throttle body & checking for leaks there as well.
One thing to add is that it only (so far) does it at slow speeds, no misfires or hesitation when going faster, it does hesitate a little if booting it but then it always has so I usually put it in sport mode and it boots down fine.
it happens when running on lpg? so it can't be the fuel pump or rail pressure.
you can unplug the maf and drive without it, but it doesnt sound like a maf problem
also unlikely to be the idle air bypass valve
i think you need to see the injector...
HT leads/plugs are 2 years, coil packs as far as I know are AD 1997 :) I have had the old girl since 2010 and I haven't changed them prior to that my brother had it for 4 or 5 years and he certainly didn't change them.
It does it either hot or...
Check crank sensor & connector. It's down the left passenger side of the engine, & a common location for oil or moisture to get in.
When it dies, do other electrics cut out as well ? I had an issue with the main battery connection on a...
I am not sure if anyone can point me in the right direction but I will ask. I have a 98 4.6HSE which has a random issue. Sometimes when starting it dies immediately or chugs a little and then runs fine (hot or cold) most times it starts and runs...
I suspect those tank O rings may have never been changed since new. When I replaced the pipework a few weeks ago, I probably disturbed them and that's when they started leaking...
Well after giving me the run around for a few days I think I've got to the bottom of it.
I swapped out my valve block for a re-furbed one I had on the shelf, and also cleaned up and renewed the o rings on the drier that I observed bubbling with...
