Pig Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Pull the ECU fuse and see if that help. Alternatively, keep the revs up enough for a while and see if that helps! Have you been using the car recently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 no i have not been using the car recently but it would always start and stay at the revs, how do i reset the ecu or pull the plugs please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'd check for fault codes first. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Either pull the bottom 3 fuses in the engine bay or disconnect the batt for 1 min. That should sort it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 i took some pics but didnt pull anything could there be some fuses missing or should they be empty like shown in the pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 i took some pics but didnt pull anything could there be some fuses missing or should they be empty like shown in the pics? Don't worry it's normal, they're not all used. Same for the relay that's 'missing' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Have you had the battery disconnected? If you have the ECU will have been reset which would cause a lumpy idle or the engine to cut out. It will take a few miles drive for the ECU to relearn the settings, after this it should idle okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 started my car today and it was the battery i think and also iv let the car run for 1 hour and the revs have gone up and alot of water come out of the exhaust my brother says it could be the build up of water or the map sensor but the car doesnt cut of anymore because iv let it run for ages and reved it a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
