Kaan W Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Im sure its not that hard to do but im a bit useless at this sort of thing, the last time I tried starting my car it wouldnt fire and all the dials on the Toucan were displaying near maximum values. After my engine cut out I plugged my laptop in to try pull the logs but I must have done something wrong causing this problem. All I need is for someone to see if everything is set to what it should be in order for the car to run and show the correct temps etc at start up, I know Ryan's the man for this but ive had no luck contacting him as I suspect he's pretty busy at the moment and I would like to get this sorted asap. Cash there for anyone that can help, Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah Ryan is crazy busy, when he was mapping my car between 12 and 5 he had 20 missed called and 15 voice mails lol. So you tried pulling the logs and now the car won't start, is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically yeah, I then gave up as I didnt know what i was doing even after following the instructions. When trying to start my car after it took a bit longer than usuall to fire then it was idling funny but then it sorted itself out. From then on everytime I tried starting it it took longer and longer and then I thought something wasnt right. It could be something completely different but I cant really pin point the exact time the dials were displaying abnormal values as I dont tend to look at the screen much.

hodge Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Go into the footwell where the ECU is and push the loom clip hard onto the ECU I've a feeling it's started to come off when you've pulled the Ethernet cable. If that's the case after you fix it pull your spark plugs and lambda and see if there fouled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks i'll try that when I get the transmission back on, it would seem wierd for all the sensors to become faulty all at the same time. Im hoping its something simple like the plug not tight on the ECU. IIRC the water and oil temp show 90 deg, egt 900 deg and the tps displays 0% perminantly.

Logic certainly dictates it should be something like that, especially as all the sensors have gone a bit mental all at the same time, fingers crossed for you mate its what John said, would be nice for you for a change to have a simple fix to a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
