yeh i wanna come down 2

Looking good Alexis

saw the video of the oil pressure!!

sounds good mate!!

whens it going for mapping you ?

cranck it longer mine didnt show anything 4 about 3 minutes dont know why...try and put it on you tube again..when i was crancking i was scared no oil pressure 4 3 minutes ...then it came now runs like a charm.....are you going to buy the accusump so before you crank it you will have oil pressure..

I have cranked it for longer, did about 4 x 30 second bursts, but i do think my dashboard isn't working, as there was no petrol warning light on, in fact, no warning lights came on when i turned the ignition on

you need to start checking earth point and power to the dash mate!!

not sure what can be causing the problem..

blown fuse to the dash cluster?

It will be a very surreal situation when that car pulls out...

I know, been looking at the workshop manual yesterday to see if i could make head or toe of it, to see where the power would be coming from

do the windows work?

if its not sorted by xmass i think a trip to Guildford is in order what do you think marco?

Yer im up for that.

just reading the workshop manual to try and work out what the problem is..

but this is a job for no mere mortal... we need a super power..

a fine caliber of man..

one who drives a 16v fiat coupe..

Sir Barnacle....

rumor’s have it... he reads wire diagrams in his sleep...

rumour has it he doesnt sleep...

LOL

i also heard... he has a turbo... and once he turned up to a coupe meet and was the only one with a coupe there!!


Alexis..

just looked onto the workshop guide, page 15..

looks like the oil presure gauge is the first one in line, then it feeds the rest of the guages, following it back it goes to pin 4 (N) then im really not sure what the hell happens form there..

it says 261 A then N.D then move a bit forward to 122 with what looks like stop sign simbol..

yer...

lost..

i dont even think im on the right path let alone tryint to work out what the hell Fiat decided to do when designeded this.

why didnt they colour code things.

idiots.

Begbie.

i feel you pain.

I know Marco, i was looking at those diagrams yesterday trying to make sense of them. Wasn't happening too well. Will be easier to take the colour coded dash off and the clocks, then do some tracing / using multimeter's to see where it should go to

i would start at the fuse mate, looks like a 15amp (or its in position 15)

i dont know..

it would be easy if i had the car to play around with.

if you want, i dont mind coming to see you one night and trace the fault!

does the engien loom conenct to the dash loom?

(weird question but im not sure how its set up on the 16vt!)

I have a hunch on what it is. Basically in the passenger well, there is a 2 pin connector of some sort, which i know does power to the fuel pump. Looking through the workshop manual (chapter 4, connector blocks, page 27, connector 128) i think this is the connector that is causing an issue, as i seem to think that it was part of the ECU loom

so should be an easy fix?!

please check the fuse before hand, i have no clue how or why it would of gone pop but just for peice of mind..

i will have a look at that chapter 4, connector blocks, page 27, connector 128..

im having to follow them with a pen to keep my eye on the line..

im printing off no end of bloody pages looking at these!
its a massive mess.

if i had a spare 12months i would re-do these..
but i havent so im not lol

mate, if you need a hand with any thing give me a call or pm me!
just none of that stuff...

where are the 2 bolts that join the plenum to the head?

Cheers Marco

Rich, they wont fit due to the inlet gasket

oh! wont it wobble around then fall off eventually?

wow, so close now mate!!

jsut a case of a dayswork and your all set for mapping!

couse there will be the double/tripple checks on every thing!

Pretty much. As per text, car should be going up to Phil's in a couple of weeks, couple of minor odds and sods to sort out and a list of mods has been sent to Neil Willies to get a quote as well. Hopefully haven't forgotten anything

whats the quote going tobe then mate??

can we make some guess's?

Are you gonna set a max boost with the guy who's mapping or just gonna let him do his stuff?

nick

2 words....

Cha ching!!!!!


Bice one beggers!!!

Now get it mapped!!
(fingers frossed for you!)

Dunno, we will see what it does on the mapping / dyno, but i think i'll set the boost at 1.6bar sustained, maybe less. Will have to see what Phil has to say when he starts mapping it.

Cheers Marco
