hi guys,
brought greg-turbos car off him for the misses and it still isnt running right from when we brought it, got fobbed off i think (i shall learn my lesson lol)
but basically its:
loosing power at high revs or when u put the throttle right down
drinkin petrol and stinkin of it
black smoke at high revs
i've replaced spark plugs, coilpack, leads, petrol pump, crank shaft sensor
and apparently he replaced lamda sensor and cts.
anybody have any ideas?
thanks in advance, aaron

mate just glanced at the timing and doesnt think its out, so i replaced the map sensor and cam sensor, still not right, but the engine is stuggling (shaking) on idle and when driving but when an odd whining noise comes from under the car (maybe from the fuel filter) the engine doesnt struggle so much.
so gunna cnahge the filter and go from there, so hopefully that might shed some light on it???
any more advice will be appreciated
cheers aaron

personally it sounds like its got a vacume hose split mate.
pay attention o the one that goes onto the fuel pressure regulator as i have seen a lot of them go there and on the fuel tank vent valve.
could also be egr valve that is causing the problem.
are the plugs sooting up?
best bet is pop down to scrappers and grab a cts and lambda sensor off another car will cost bout £5 for both.
after all the troubles i had with my 14xe where it would pull hard then it wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pud it turned out to be the new cts i put on it..

oh right mate, well, i shall take a look at the vacuum pipes tomorrow.
yea the plugs are sooting up, brought new ones to see if that was the problem.
also i have my spare x16xe, so i may try the cts and lambda sensor off that if it happened to you,
thanx for the advice buddy

also another thing to check is the cts wiring.. I have seen a couple of people here have the same problem that the wiring comes detached inside the plug. Its more likely the vacume hoses tho..

had a look at the hose mate, doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it apart from it being the completely wrong thickness and about 2 foot to long. basically looks like it has been bodged by the previous owner (greg_turbo) so am gunna take the orginall, right sized pump off my old engine, and put that on.
could this maybe a problem? as it might not be pressureised properly?

alright mate, it has standard inlet, but i have just looked at a pic in gregs garage, and remembered when we brought the car he was selling a power boost valve aswell, as im sure it is in the picture circled in red. and the hose im on about i've drew a yellow line by it.
seems he may have took the boost valve off and just stuck the hose back where it should be. so mayb this is what was causing it.
so do you think i put the correct size hose on it will be ok? or at least improve it?
cheers, aaron

holy fook thats way to long....
the hose thats sposed to go on the FPR is 3mm hose or is it 4mm canny remember but mine had 3mm put on it after i found my hoses to have split.
it should be only about 20cm long and be running off the inlet manifold.
this could be the problem.. also the fact he put a boost valve on it might be asking why.....

dont know why i never questioned that hose before. yea he must have connected the hose back to the fpr when he took that shit thing off, so it is currently connected from the inlet to the fpr (the right place) but just way to big? well compared to mine it is lol
so may well be the problem. fingers crossed.
you've been a really great help rich. cheers

ive had so many problems with my 14xe that i know a little bit out these engines now lol
just got to go back to basics.. cars come with sertan diameter pipes for a reason.
if the pipe is to long or is to large in diameter then it isnt going to seal on the fpr well enough so itsnt going to alow propper fuel pressure....

only thing i can think off is the fuel pump mate if theirs a whining noise for the fuel lines, as a free fix you could borrow the one out of your 1.6 just to have a quick look
