Ahhh that’s good then, I know the M3cutters forum is still ruined from changes photobucket made! That hasn’t been sorted unfortunately!
I’ll be updating my thread soon then hopefully :) hope all is well Steve
I’ve been a little lapse with uploading my progress on here!
Just a quick one to whoever sees this reply, are my pictures still up and can be viewed? As I used photobucket and I know since I posted they have changed their sharing policy’s and I don’t think third party can see then,
Cheers

Well... I still have a problem that for some reason I can't talk to the car...
The snap on scanner I was using is a top end bit of kit, yet I can't read ' engine ' category at all... it just comes up with that it cannot connect...
A job for another day! Haha
Weekends are my only play time due to working long hours during the week,
I'm so glad to have found the issue and it not cost me penny... now I can book on Snetterton for next month :) big smiles all round :)
So!!!!
I've found my issue!!
The cat was blocked!!! Brand new cat for the MOT nearly 2 weeks ago has collapsed...
It's got very hot going around Cadwell....
I'm a very happy man!!
Just smashed it all out, and good news, it's not any louder than it was before!
Thanks to everyone for all the...
So...
I've now changed:
- crank sensor ( I'm getting good at taking the air box in and out now... *sigh* )
- Checked all earths and cleaned them up
- changed all smaller fuses
And still no luck.
Next to try will be removing the cat, see if it's blocked, lovely job when I have another car...
The grey one on right side?
I've changed that
The only thing I don't have is the map sensor, as I broke it getting it out of the old inlet manifold...
But I'm almost certain I'd have an EML if that was faulty.
If I unplug the map sensor whilst engine is running, it cuts out straight away
Yeah it revs freely, it's only when it's under load that it's hesitant..
And yeah I might do that as well today...
Today's to do list...
Change crank sensor
Replace fuses
Check earths ( again )
Check wiring ( again )
Unbolt exhaust and run without
