Mi16 Under Fueling?

[timmsy19 3]

Hi all.

 

Bit confused by this one...

 

Came out from work today started the car and it fired first time. Drove 3 or 4 miles from work to home and all has been fine untill i got to the dual carriage way only to find that i had a few major flat spots which only happened around 3k but then soon eased off under a heavy right foot

 

Anyhow got home parked up and let the car idle for a few minutes. was ok untill i gave it a few revs and then it dipped and cut out. So i started it up again revs went upto about 2k then diped and cut out.

 

Started it again with foot to the floor, it started but wouldnt rev past 2k and kept dipping down. Foot off the pedal and cut out again

 

anyone have any ideas? is this just the cold weather?

sounds like your ignition amp might be a bit upset with the weather. if you have a spare, try that and hopefully it will help.

hmm dont have a spare unfortunatly. wd40 it?

second that.

 

If not the amp it still sounds like an ignition fault of some sort so start eliminating things one by one.

Id start with amp too. Before you start getting too involved with anything

 

Amps can cause the problems youve listed.

Doubt its a moisture problem so would'nt think it would help if the amp is weak.

Triple post for 24 !!

 

Cleaning it up probably wont do anything. Its more likely the amp itself is faulty. Rather than has a bad connection etc.

 

Theres a few threads on amp makes. Some good some bad. Im not 100% but i think Intermoto are not great ? Bosch are the good ones i think ?

Ive got a spare Bosch amp if you want to borrow it mate.

[timmsy19 3]

thanks all. so if its the igition amp it might also cure my 3 clicks before it starts sometimes?

No troubles mate, just give me a call or text to confirm.

I'd also check the connections on the AFM, sounds like mine when I forgot to plug it back in.

it does definatley feel like its choking for air or fuel

[kyepan 291]

If the ignition amplifier doesn't fix it, it probably will, and you have not got an air leak somewhere.

 

If you disconnect the afm whilst it's running and it's no different you'll know it's AFM related.

 

You can also use the caps program on the sticky at the top of this section to "Backprobe" the resistance values of the AFM (which is essentially a big carbon variable resistor) there are also methods to refresh the afm if it's out via the re-tracking method.

right i picked up a new ignition amp today. although im thinking somthing else is very wrong...

 

anyhow got home after work. fitted this new part only to find out the old one was a 6 Pin module the new one is a 7 pin module but the lead that it plugs into is only a 5

 

whats this all about??

 

have the parts place made a mistake and given me the wrong one or is it actually going to make any difference
