    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Hi there! I've got this type of air box (shown below). It doesn't contain an internal resonator, but has a resonator plug instead, which is missing.

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Ok. So I've put everything back together and, lo and behold, it's started. Unbelievable!!! First of all, I must express my appreciation to all who answered the post. You've done quite a lot. So I've cleaned the exhaust breather compartment (it was full of gank), changed the evaporative valve...

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    I've only got a vcm-obd adapter (not elm). I still can't get it work on win10 laptop (driver issue).

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    The laptop sees hardware of the reader, even initiates pcm connection and in a moment interrupts it. As for the measurement. I've been measuring using an old analog socialism era arrow multimeter. It's more reactive than the digital one. Now I've decided to change the rocker cover gasket, four...

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Thanks. Should I apply additional sealant to a rocker cover gasket? I can't read from the ecu, the focom vds-obd s/ware states 'the interface hasn't been found'. It's strange as I read codes half a year ago. By the way, I've measured voltage at injectors today. It was fluctuating within the...

    Hi all! Am I right that the camshafts are flooded with excessive oil??

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Hi all! I've put today a fully charged battery and still nothing. The only difference is that the starter is now cranking faster. Yet another 'dtc error' has not been confirmed. Checked compression in a fuel rail, although with a tyre pressure gauge, and it showed 3.7bar what makes me think...

    Stolen design

    Let me explain myself as my starting post is connotationally neutral. I'd like to believe that such similarity is coincidental as both cars were designed on computer. On the other hand, it is fairly easy (for a billionaire) to get the drawings of any praised car and then make some improvements...

    Stolen design

    Hi people! Excuse me if similarity shown further already was the topic for discussions, but does anyone think that the Tesla's design was somewhat stolen from a Puma? Photos of a Puma with a Tesla in the background

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Yeah, I've put a battery on charge. I couldn't clear the dtc codes because the forscan was in demo mode. I'm a bit skeptical concerning the latest readings because at least some of them haven't been proved. I've measured the IAT sensor, its resistance is 15kOhms, a voltage drop - 3.75 Volts, so...

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    ..in simple words..A bottom line question (in priority of error): Can I check fuel pressure with a tyre pressure gauge? Thanks

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Hi all there! I've finally managed to read from the ECU. The readings have only made things worse. First of all, I should mention that 3 different laptops were used. As the focom was unresponsive, the forscan indeed established the connection...But ..it recognises my ecu as one from the focus...

    Analogue to digital dash swap

    The only advantage (albeit small) of an old analogue dash over a digital is that when you're disconnecting the vss (a torque limiter) your speedo continues to work.

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Ok. I've changed the HT leads and the problem remains. It doesn't start. I've checked discharge at caps 3 & 4 and sparks are there. The coilpack readings: primaries 0.33 Ohm, secondaries - 13.3 kOhm. Therefore, everything is good with the ignition part. Yes, the car has an obd interface. But I...

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    After reading what I wrote above, I've decided to overhaul the alternator. So took it off and disassembled. Upon disassemble, apart from it was very dirty and brushes were whittled down, there were no visual signes of damage. So cleaned it and changed the brushes. It took me two days to install...

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Hi there Yes. I disconnected a spark plug wire from the spark plug no.1. Then I attached a wire with an alligator type clip crimped at one end to a disconnected ht lead. The opposite end of the wire was earthed. The gap between the clip and an ht lead was about 1 cm. When I started to crank I...

    Car Suddenly Won't Start

    Hi puma gurus! I have a Puma '98 1.4 Zetec-S LHD 208k km, which was hybridised to LPG by a previous owner. The car ran almost perfect on Friday night, but the next morning it just won't start. First, there was a click-click sound with no cranking. After I stroke a starter with a hammer, the...
