    Error codes V8 Soarer LTD

    Thanks peewee Now that I know where to look I think I will be able to fix it. It is interesting that the problem is intermittent ok for a few days then it hits again. Your help is much appreciated. Roger

    Error codes V8 Soarer LTD

    Thanks for the info re leaky caps. I don't think that that is my problem however. I still dont know where the AFM is so that I can check it out. I am getting the idea that it is not all that wise to clean the AFM. Is there such a thing as an aftermarket AFM for the V8 soarer?

    Thanks, Do you mean the fuel pump ecu or the main one? Also not sure what you mean by a leaky cap. Regards Roger

    Error codes V8 Soarer LTD

    G'day anyone out there know what the error codes EFI 31 and EFI 24 mean on the 1991 V8 Ltd Soarer. I have been having troubles with the car going into limp mode and can't seem to work out why it does it. Sometimes after resetting the efi fuse it comes good for a while. Any help would be...

    Yes. It looks like it can be done. What are all those wires and bits and pieces just underneath the unit? I appreciate your help.

    G'day all I have a 91 V8 Limited Soarer with an EMV screen. My 12 cd stacker is crook and getting it reparied has been a nightmare. Has anyone out there been successful in fitting in an after market cd player/ radio/ mp3. I had a technician look at mine the other day and after pulling the tape...

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    I have finally got my car back. It has been a difficult and expensive excercise. At the end of the day it was only a simple problem. The wiring between the fuel pump ecu and the fuel pump(behind the moulding in the boot) had been bared by friction on the tank and and was shorting out the fuel...

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    Thanks Peewee I didn't think that it would but there is so much electronic stuff on this car. Still working at isolating the problem, appreciate your input. Seeing that i cant get a reading of any kind from DI I am going to connect the fuel pump ecu by short wires to its plug so that I can...

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    The hose to my power steering pump has been leaking is it possible this leakage has done something to the alternator which has contributed to these dramas.

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    Thanks Peewee I just read your post after I sent mine. Should I be getting some signal from DI?

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    Thanks for that info re the main ecu location. Now that I have the wiring diagrams and have talked to the mechanic I can be a bit more specific than my last post which was I admit fairly fuzzy. On the wiring diagram it shows that the fuel pump ecu has 5 pins coming out of it. E, DI, FPC, +B...

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    Where is the main engine management ECU. It seems that there is no power coming from it to the fuel pump ecu. Does it send a signal to the fuel pump ecu? What does no signal or power from the main ecu indicate? There is a red and green wire to pin 22 and the pink wire to pin 21 on the FP ecu...

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    Thanks Peewee. I note that the cat converter light is on on my dash at start up. Is this a warning light. I have noticed it for a while now.

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    thanks everyone for your input. The vacuum hoses seem to be ok. Is there a definitive test or should i change them anyway. I cleaned the throttle body. I need to understand how to adjust the TPS. I had the engine running with the Fp +B bridge and rotated the TPS till the revs increased. But...

    Irregular Idle Speeds

    To pull out the tps on the celsior as described in the above link sounds very complicated. It seems a lot simpler on the soiarer i think. is it is a matter of undoing the nut that is in the centre of the unit once the cover has been removed and pulling it out or is there more to it than that...

    Thanks Is the IAC the same as the ISCV Roger

    fuel ecu problem, I think

    A translation please, what is the TPS and how do I know if it is in IDL and what is the ISCV and how do I clean it?? Thanks Roger
