Dumb Question Thread!

[Rosssub]

Yes.

[Rosssub]

Check the Main Loom Plugs near the Battery too, make sure they\'re clean and tight.

Have you got a Multi Meter?

[QRAF]

Where is that located?

[Rosssub]

Crank Angle Sensor is under your Alternator, right at the front of the Block.

Main Loom/ECU Plugs are tucked down, just behind the Battery, (orange/white or grey big square plugs)

You can check for Voltage at the Crank Sensor with Ignition on too.

Swap the crank sensor with the cam sensor and see if it throws a code for cam sensor.

Thought if cam/crank sensor was out there would be no fuel.

:-\ Yeah? Maybe it only cuts Spark? Or QRAF has a slight Fuel Leak somewhere?

Or... Maybe the ECU need\'s 2 Failed Signals in a row from the Crank Sensor (almost 720\') before the CEL trips. So maybe 7 Injector Pulses, under pressure before the CEL trips and Cuts Fuel? Causing the Fuel Smell.

[QRAF]

found the fuel smell to be my charcoal filter bolt had come out as i\'ve taken that out.

so had a mate look at it last night with a different sensor no change but it is for an evo

he plugged into my OBD2 plug with his diagnostic tool and it still said only the crank angle sensor tried turning it over and there diff was no spark in the coils ?

SO he said to visit subroo on my lunch break and get another sensor to try and also another computer as i might of fried that fingers crossed not.

Just do this. Cheaper and easier.

[QRAF]

i\'m car less so will just be walking around to subroo to annoy them

they have some cool stuff down there but you have to go down to see it they should really put more stuff online.

on a side note has anyone laid sound deadening i know a lot of you have removed it but i got 7meters on the way and just wondering if you have any tips like with the heat wrap. ;D

What sort of deadening?

A small roller is really good for getting it to lay down nicely.

And get a bunch of disposable box cutters as it will ruin whatever knife you\'re cutting it up with.

And wear work gloves if it\'s foil backed, it\'s slicey stuff when you cut it.\'

Oh and don\'t worry about getting it right into the corners etc, the panels are pretty stiff around the edges anyway.

I just got a roll for anything in the future i decide to do can\'t beat $180 to your door for 7.5meters.

[QRAF]

changed the angle sensor made no change any ideas?

Loom?

+1. Have you got a Multi meter?

Edit: Try an ECU Reset too.

[QRAF]

yeah got a multi meter from work today

ok will try a ecu rest

Would the car fire if the alternator is fried?

[Rosssub]

Yip should do. ECU Reset no good?

[QRAF]

reset did nothing :\'(

tested the alternator and its putting out 0.13 volts when trying to turn it over i thought it would of started off the battery tho and just stopped once it was out of juice

[Rosssub]

Set your Multi Meter to Ohms and check the Resistance between both Terminals on your Crank Sensor. It should show about 2.0 K ohms.

[QRAF]

2.03 to be exact

[Rosssub]

Cool so your Sensor is good. Next check the contacts inside the Loom Plug and make sure they\'re clean.

Then with Ignition on, check Resistance of both Loom Plug Terminals.

Edit: Test Resistance of Plug Contact\'s by Earthing onto Engine.

[Rosssub]

One Plug Contact should show more than 10ohms but less than 100Kohms.

The other Contact should show more than 5ohms.

Anything outside these resistance figures shows a broken wire/contact in that circuit.

what the deal with stripping interiors from cars still? plan to rollcage out my VX4 (awd 4g63 non turbo vr4 basicly) Can u still remove interior, except dash and front seats/front door cards and just change your rego to a 2 seater still? and fill the old holes? or have they stoped that?
