lets make this happen at 2.30

[cuscogtb]

swapped ecu's and still not going.

starting to get really annoying

The engine turns over? Does it catch then stall? Does the CEL go out when cranking?

it doesn't fully crank over because only two cylinders are firing.. well i think it sounds like there's two cylinders firing. It makes a weird grinding sound on the right-hand side.

[Guest boostin]

Ok, well that doesn't sound good. That sort of info from the start would have helped. Check your cambelt timing etc.

[cuscogtb]

oh ok.. will tackle it tomorrow when dubbedup is free. getting rather at it..

could it be anything else?

[Guest boostin]

Was it running and then stalled and wouldn't restart? Or did you go out to the car and it just wouldn't start?

Long story short, went around a corner a bit fast and then the car just stalled and yeah wouldn't restart. Tried roll starting it and fired up and when i put my foot on the accelerator it would not rev or accelerate at all, and when i put the clutch in it would stall.

[Guest boostin]

It gets better every minute!! That sounds nasty. Possibly a seized cam?? Get the cambelt checked and make sure all the cams spin nicely.

[cuscogtb]

sweet will check that out tomorrow.

had my hopes up but was such a down buzz when i swapped ecu's with MINTGTB and it didn't fix it :'(

[Swindog]

Do you reckon it skipped a couple teeth on the cam timing....like tensioner slipped or something?

[Guest boostin]

Yeah possibly. But if its making a grinding sound from 1 bank, it could be anything.

[MINTGTB]

Funny thing is, i went to plug in my black connectors today out of curiousity to see if i had any CEL's and ive got the same CEL-code (CEL65) but thats totally unrelated, MYGTB's issue is a weird one, coz i was following him and to have him slow down and the car just konk out is weird, will check out tomorrow.

[Guest keltik]

That code could be a stored one from when your ECU was in his car?

good point bol! ill reset my ECU tomorrow

[cuscogtb]

Alright guys.. just an update, we took off the side cambelt covers and found a loose bolt that was the cause of the bad noise which came from the top right cam sprocket. The belt is not looking too flash, theres a fair bit of wear and tear that the bolt caused. So we are gonna take the remaining covers and have a look see.

We think the timing is out too, is there a quick way to check if cambelt is skipped a tooth? instead of resetting the cambelt?

Pics will be posted up later

[Guest boostin]

Wind it over by hand and check all the marks line up.

[cuscogtb]

this is what the cambelt looked like...

[KwS]

That belt has done its dash imo.

yep have got another one,

also the bolt that was rattling round in there, is there anything it could have damaged something on the cam that would not let it send signal to get coil pack 3 & 4?

Possibly the back of the LH intake pulley? Where the cam angle sensor reads from?

[kamineko]

ohh this is nasty. if no go after new cambelt, next stop would be a compression check eh

[dubbedup]

i got the grenade all sorted, just gotta find time to get down there...

Soooo... where did the bolt come from???

Could the bolt have been from something (like a sensor) that is used on the non-going(is there such a word???) bank?

Belt looks nasty
