Replace TDC sensor

Both directions??

This product indeed sounds like a good rust penetrator. Here's a cheap mixture I have been using for ages, combined from the stuff laying around in the garage: 1/3 of used motor oil, 1/3 of Valvoline Tectyl vehicle underbody rust preventive, and 1/3 of Kendall wheel bearing grease (blue). Pour...

Maybe try unplugging the battery negative terminal for a minute or two and then try if it will run without the MAP sensor plugged in. Detach the MAP sensor plug before disconnecting the battery...

I would go for a failing MAP sensor or the pre-cat lambda sensor. Disconnect the MAP sensor connector plug and give the car a trip round the block to see if the engine behaves better. If it does, acquire a genuine MAP sensor from Renault, cheap ebay copies are tedious for not working through the...

Yeah, must've been something like that.

Surely, if the coil pack is failing already at tickover, it should failure drastically at WOT?? As, at WOT the voltage required to jump the spark gap is times greater, because of more air in-between the spark plug gap. If the ignition coil's actual voltage riser coil wire has lost the...

I had on over-revved engine and as a consequence it had developed a knocking sound. I measured the compression wet and dry. The compression leveled out when wet, so I thought it must be a broken piston ring. Ahead I went and pulled out the pistons and replaced the rings. Upon reassembly leak...

Getting better compression readings when wetting the cylinder can mean that either the piston rings or valves are not sealing properly. But with your readings everything is in order. Does it feel it has all the oomph it used to?

Measure (with a digital multi meter) the positive pole on the starter motor backside (should be a red thick wire attached to it) is getting the batter voltage (around 12,5 volts) WHEN THE CAR REFUSES TO START. If this test passes, then,,, Get a few pieces of thick wire, a pair of starter cables...

Can't see the low rpm on the video...??? But clean the throttle body first and see if it has any effect.

Perhaps dirty throttle body, take out and rinse clean with brake cleaner spray. Perhaps pre-cat lambda sensor has failed. Not the coil pack. If the coil pack fails will misfire at WOT first. Would think not the injectors as would think that if the injectors fail it would misfire at WOT first...

Could be a dirty throttle body, concluding from how the revs drop during gear change. I would take out the throttle body and rinse with brake cleaner spray. Definitely the MAP sensor and pre-cat lambda sensor are also possibilities.

Exactly how did you measure the current output? The alternator current output increases when more devices are turned on/connected to the alternator. If you connect a multimeter between the alternator output and ground in CURRENT MEASURING MODE, you most likely will burn the multimeter. You...

If I remember correctly, there should be a fuse. And even if u can measure no continuity, when the car is running can you get a voltage reading from the alternator positive pin versus the car body (ground). To see if the alternator is putting out anything. Just to eliminate any possible error...
