Car had a successfull diagnostic scan few weeks before I bought it as have paperwork. Think obd11 socket is ok. Are sync mates known to be but hit and miss? Just hired this one for 3 days

A sync mate but fails to communicate give one red flash. I guess switches in my lock are dodgy am doing 4 turns to lock first as its a 98. Do you think eka is needed if both fobs work?

Also pressed valve on fuel rail and got spurt of petrol so fairly sure it's not a pump problem. Got connector for obd11 out now all looks good visually

Been with car for 3 hours now no joy. Re-sync gave red flash so failed to communicate. Talked to seller he said remove battery for 30 minutes eka code it then try again. Fitted crank sensor whilst waiting. Could not enter code as lights will only flash on first turn to right flash for all turns...

I think your probably right about TPS. It says in RAVE to calibrate but have seen mixed posts saying it does and doesn't need doing. It certainly ticked over about where expected on start up. If the revving problem persists after crank sensor replacement will get it to a garage for a calibration.

Oops sorry Datatek:) Yes again that makes sense will find out tomorrow. Still getting occasional power loss and revving so hoping this is either TPS learning or the crank sensor. If so may get several trouble free days motoring until the next event.

Thank's for the reply's. Update is am picking up new crank sensor tomorrow and getting a sync-mate hired for 3 days. Will try all the EKA procedures first, then re-sync and if all else fails fit sensor and re-sync again. Am also replacing battery fob batteries. Will keep updated on my...
