vr6 nightmare
« on: 09 September 2008, 15:28 »
ive got a 1993 vr6  and i do love it and its very gud condtion but im getting on the verge of breaking it.
i was driving down the road 1 day when it started chugging and then cut out and loads of smoke came from under my bonnet.
this was sum wires that had shorted and melted etc etc i replaced the wires and insulated um all up so there all fine now.
next step it wasnt running right so i got it plugd in and there was 1 fault and that was the engine speed sensor so i went and got 1 £47 later it was on.
still no gud tho my car takes ages 2 start and wen it does its runs really ruff and it smokes like mad and then just cuts out and the oil light flashs .
the relay 109 is so loud its making all these funny sounds from it so i tuk it out and luked at it it all luks ok but smeels a bit burnt.

109 is fuel pump and 30 is ECU.. .or the other way arround.. i forget.   i guess its worth changing both of them.
