Hi All

My MY95 is not feeling very well at the mo, idles quite high 1200+ and it sounds like its running on three. Pulling away is very slow, clears a little as revs pick up, and i can here turbo spin up. Im thinking plugs, HT leads or something along thoose lines anyone know what else i should check.

Thanks
Simon
Ps No engine check light on at the moment

 

Alternatively short out the diagnostic plugs under the steering column and see what fault codes are present. Dunno if youre familiar with this procedure but Ive used it a few times.

Regards

Richie

Hope shes well soon

 

Hi Si
Sorry the beast is poorly - could be dozens of things - get it plugged into the diagnostics at your local friendly Scoob dealer M8

 

Richie,

Can you post some details of how to do this procedure please?

Also, can anyone remember the site to show you how to do the ECU reset?

James

Hi Chris

Yep still poorly going into garage first thing monday 8 hours and 4 minutes from now feels and sounds like something electrical, does'nt seem to be firing on all cylinders (bit like it's owner ) but still going and hopefully better by tommorrow night

Si
Ps See you at sports bar (even if i have to walk )

 

Hope it gets sorted Si. Re Friday, don't worry about the lift (if you have a car ), I will get the train into London - thanks for the offer though.

Cheers

Chris

 

This is the address for the tech site for resetting the ECU.

 

Ian Cook is great bang on target mate

Si
Ps Scoobied up as of tuesday

 

Si,

HT leads? I think tne MY95 has individual coils on top of each plug. These are prone to failing which is why they went back to a more conventional setup in 97.
Absolute pain to get at as well, best left to those in the know I think.

Let us know how you get on.
