The Phoenix Has Risen

[Graham B]

Well, after my failure to get the car to Stonleigh, I set to with meter and spyglass to determine why I couldnt get running again.

I had dashboard lights, wipers, headlamps etc. engine turned over.

Meter showed power to ECU ---funny , no sound of petrol pump ( Nice prompt Florin !)

Checked circuits --a bit difficult as the main loom was Ford, engine loom was Nissan --wires change colour, relays are not quite what they seem --when is an Ignition relay not an Ignition relay? --when its called Engine mamangement!

 

Put power to fure feeding petrol pump --whirring noise. Pump relay call from ECU, correct !! --Ah!! no 12V .

 

Power from the ignition switch --- I haven't got a kill switch anymore, I removed it and taped it up ( didn't I?? ) no power at the relay

--Yes, there are the old kill switch wires, I am sure they should be in a connector !! --Bingo Brmm Brmm again. How? , when ? , how did I get home and park on the drive, before it wouldnt start again --a mystery.

 

So I'll refit a proper switch and remember the symptoms.

 

Only 200 more miles of running in..

See you all soon.

Well done that man, simple fix in the end.

Get them miles on it and watch it fly.

See you at Newark ?

I had to get a new kill switch, my old one (9 years old) started to play up , you have to turn the key back and forth to get it to turn the power on

All we need to fix now is the ***** weather.

Glad to hear it's all back together and running again Graham, I still grin like a mad fool every time I put my foot down.

[Graham B]

I bet you do !!!

Now you need a "no speed limit" area to let it fly....
