Unfortunately the ecu hasnt made any difference ? Ive had the multimeter on the battery when dry steering and its not sapping much voltage. 0.3v at most. Not really sure where to go next, i think battery but if its not sapping the power then surely thats not the problem Again any help would be...

Thanks for the reply buddy! I feel like it is a component failure rather than wiring error just really dont know where to start! Its fine on normal roads with long bends etc. Ill see if i can pick up a new ecu!

I've finally got round to doing my epas and quick rack conversion but ive got an issue that i'm after some opinions on. The powersteering when dry steering doesn't (always) work and the motor seems to flick on and off when cornering hard (for example driving round a mini round about or...

Afraid not buddy. I've cleaned up just about all of the plugs etc i can find but with no joy. Im fairly confident its not the tb's giving up and that something is pottentially killing the tb's. I've recently brought a 172 ecu, uch etc. To swap for the 182 versions that are currently on my...

Thanks buddy!

Perfect thanks buddy! I was hoping this was the case!

Sorry to bring up an old thread! What are people doing with the sensor/plug from the hpas, the one which plugs into the pipe just infront of the alternator? I guess leaving this unpluged throws a management light? Resistor?

I havent actually, ill give it a go next week. Im racing this weekend so dont really want to touch it before!

Completely agree with everything your saying and the fact that there isnt a global shortage of throttle bodys means that people can't be having the same problem as me . But if a cable has deteriated(for example) and causing the problem then that problem would remain if i were to fit a brand new...

I have yeah haha. So are you sugggesting that there is another problem causing 'wear' on the TB? Because if i had replaced the TB and the issue remained, id agreee that something is causing it. But everytime a replace it, its sorts the problem. So IMO, the TB's ive had, have broken...

.. i checked the cable from the tb to bulk head cleaning every plug on the way wnd found no real issues at all

Stuck a new throttle body on yesterday and its cured the problem. I agree there is another underlying issue here but if there was, a new tb shouldnt sort it... Fricking electrics

One day! Any ideas on my next step steve? Searching threads like nobodys business here and struggling to find ideas. Atm im thinking of hooking the pedal off and seeing if theres anything suspicious there - i know i wont find anything though!...

Would need a new ecu for starters i believe

Thanks for your help buddy but unfortunately the cup uses a fly by wire TB. Although i wish it didnt! ...

Thanks for the reply but i just dont think this is the problem here, ive moved it about alot yesterday while cleaning it up and its made no difference. Sounds like youve got a dodgey pin and socket that could do with replacing in your plug

so managed to spend some time on the clio tonight I had a look at the UCH and couldn't see any obvious issues, no water ingress, burns etc - of course you cant always see issues with this sort of thing checked the contacts on the Tb itself and they were very very clean, still shiny and like...

Ok so looks like ive got my plan of attack: check wiring/connections see if theres anything obvious. Check the 'white plug' Still no difference then look at uch Lets say one of the contacts had rusted up and thats causing the throttle issue. Would you say that replacing the uch would be worth...

Ive thought about this but i cant really see the problem with running a 182 tb on a 182 ecu. If you catch my drift. Logically i cant understand why it would kill tb's. What functions would i need to have programmed? The car has already been to rentech and mike said that he couldnt delete most...

Im not 100% no but yes i have all the fault codes you would expect with running a 182 ecu - abs, ac etc In all honesty ive never heard of the uch but after a quick search i might not have one from a 182. The car starts really odd, ie the engine turns dies then fires up really quick and i also...

Hey Guys I wanted to ask about this as its something i'm having repetitive problems with and i am currently having issues with now So i am currently on my 3rd throttle body and needing a 4th When my throttle bodies die i either turn the car on and it idles high/erratic and the pedal does...

Thanks for the the reply buddy, I've done some more poking around on here and think I've decided on widening the holes(don't know why I didn't do that anyway!) Thanks for your help buddy

Sorry to bring up an old thread! Had a crack at this today and cant for the life of me do it, the lower the rack goes (only talking 20mm) the bolts won't line up or the rack buckles on the bolts stopping it from going lower? There's an arm connecting the front and rear rack mounts, do it...

Thanks for the reply buddy in all honesty i don't think the dash light do anything out of the ordinary, i wish i could re create the issue now! I could do with cleaning up the battery earth really, ill give that a shot when the weather brightens up not really sure where to start as it doesn't...

Afternoon Guys Can't really find anything with a search on this When i turn the key the starter motor engages and it turns once or twice but then just before the car starts it just stops I wouldn't say the starter dies off, it just stops and i get a slight buzzing which i'm fairly certain is...

Thinking about getting some 15mm's for the front of my cup (Currently running et38 wheels) I use the car for hillclimbs/sprints so i ideally want to put handling first but.... i'm a tart What exact affects will running the wider front track have? will it induce understeer a noticeable amount...

Ah ok so are the sensors basically built into all of the airbag 'units'? How are they triggered? Something to do with the angle and get forces pulled? Or am I over thinking this Back onto the topic, does anyone know if/what block connector current rating I'd need?

Thanks buddy On another note where are the airbag sensors/triggers (if there is such a thing) is there any decent threads on them?

Cheers for the reply @Ads29 So basically I should be fine cutting the loom back like I suggested? @barnesautos Yeah 172 cup for me Some lunatic previous owner fitted the airbags ecu and seats from a 182 into my car. I think he pulled the airbag light out in the process anyway, but I'm still...

Hey Guys I've been searching for an answer to this but cant really find anything I've got new seats and harnesses on the way so now I have no need for any of the seat wiring loom Bearing in mind i'm no Electrician...i have a few questions Can i cut the loom back to the dash and bridge the...
