nothing inside the motor has been touched, but nah i dont have a timing light, i am getting a mechanic to come take a peek at it just to play it safe, i just want the bastard to run, its all there just timing is out or something in the regard of ignition

by **ford_racing_8** » June 23rd, 2009, 12:21 pm

nice kyle, when you have worked out your timing issues you will have to bring it down this way so i can see it :thumbsup:

by **SnyperEB** » June 23rd, 2009, 12:22 pm

Love that steering wheel I want one bad!!

by **ruleford** » June 23rd, 2009, 5:37 pm

we were on saturday trav.. but i had to take it home. havent played with the cam at all, still std xr6 cam.

it isnt 180 deg out either.. we lifted the front of the rockercover to make sure we were at tdc 1.. so i may of gotten it a tooth advanced by accident (its the first au motor ive worked on)

if only au motors had a timing mark on the front case.... all what they have is the tdc one.
much easier to see if i have muffed it up with a timing light with the ign mark on the timing cover

i hope they get it sorted for you mate.. wish i was closer cos then i'd be there helping

by **XR_Lightning** » June 23rd, 2009, 6:14 pm

AU motors are timed exactly the same as e-series, and its 2 revolutions of the camshaft to 1 of the crankshaft

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » June 23rd, 2009, 7:58 pm

yep timing is all good, just gotta narrow out a few gremlins

by **Steady** » June 23rd, 2009, 8:06 pm

EL ECU is 0deg base, with the ECU in diagnostic mode, but you have to wait for it to finish going through the codes before it locks timing.

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 24th, 2009, 5:14 pm

Can't wait to cruise with the hybrid,Keep up the good work :grin:

by **YBHVE4** » July 3rd, 2009, 12:09 pm

by **NL_CONCORDE** » July 3rd, 2009, 12:48 pm

Did you pick up the ecu reader or is it going to cve
Should be done by next weekend

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » July 3rd, 2009, 4:22 pm

Depending on how things go, i got told to call Paul again on monday and if he's free i can send it in.

by **galapogos01** » July 3rd, 2009, 5:01 pm

Didn't try another ECU?

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 3rd, 2009, 5:26 pm

whats the problem with the car?

by **Wave_Man** » July 3rd, 2009, 5:57 pm

still not running?

Has to be something simple... To run rough as guts on idle then make the exhaust glow red as soon as any Throttle is given... Blocked fuel filter or something

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » July 3rd, 2009, 6:06 pm

Trying a different ECU tomorrow, it's had a new filter, coil, injectors, fuel pump, regulator, timing and plugs, and MAP sensor. car is running too rich and the temp now is reading as high so possibly a cooked ECU, i will know tomorrow.

by **galapogos01** » July 3rd, 2009, 6:47 pm

ECU doesnt send the temp to the gauge, as I said if the dash is wrong either your dash or sensor is out or you have a wiring problem...

by **ruleford** » July 13th, 2009, 5:12 pm

hows the car kyle?

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » July 13th, 2009, 6:19 pm

ruleford wrote:hows the car kyle?

currently at CVE getting a few gremlins ironed out plus a tune, we tried an ECU replace and that did fix all the main drama's, now has a misfire on one cylinder somewhere, the overfuelling has probably fouled up a plug, nothing major, waiting to hear back from Paul for any more updates.

by **Mr. CVE** » July 14th, 2009, 9:19 am

a 'few' gremlins ? runs smooth now

by **SnyperEB** » July 14th, 2009, 9:53 am

Saw this car on saturday has come along way nice work Kyle you just need to fix up some cosmetic things here and there and she will be sweet as mate.

That's awesome as, was rapt when I got the call this morning telling me that it's all sweet to go, I plan to get the diff done in the next month or so, then the handbrake will be all sweet and we can give it a full tune, i'll hopefully have a cam and extractors by then

Thanks Shaun

, wouldn't have done it without the help of my mates(A lot of them on here, they know who they are

), they helped me get this far. I hope to get a few of the cosmetic things fixed over the weeks just a matter of sourcing them and that

by **galapogos01** » July 14th, 2009, 10:24 am

glad to see it was simple. definately suspected the ecu given your symptoms

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » July 14th, 2009, 10:27 am

galapogos01 wrote:glad to see it was simple. definately suspected the ecu given your symptoms

It was a major relief, PITA was I didn't have an ECU spare to test it with, gave it a swap at CVE and it started first go with a misfire, but that got sorted anyway.

by **Dezza** » July 14th, 2009, 10:31 am

Good stuff Kyle. Good to see it's all sorted!

by **SnyperEB** » July 14th, 2009, 10:37 am

I reckon put the standard lights back in it with the fairmont garnish rather than the tinted ones. Gives it a cleaner look IMO.

I remember getting the tinted ones so they didn't look as old, problem with my old ones were they were getting too faded for my liking, once i give the car a proper wash n that i'll probably decide from there.

Cheers Dezza, I just got to work out a few things on this end to whether i can pick it up today or not. I hope i can i wanna drive it :cry:

by **SnyperEB** » July 14th, 2009, 12:51 pm

Should be able to find a mint set around the place I know Jolly's have heaps of EB-ED's at the moment.

by **ruleford** » July 14th, 2009, 1:05 pm
