losing power

ooops, sorry mate, just saw this thread!

The WUR is on the right of the block below the temp senders! it's a creamish/white connector plug and there is a plastic cap next to it!

hmmmm its started doing it again after about 80 miles i start running on three cylinders intermittently.  Its a nightmare, i tried disconnecting the WUR and it made no difference :embarassed:

[Deefadog]

Sorry mate! - it may still be the WUR, disconnecting the eletrical bit just stops it heating the coil inside, it still has to function.  I just got one off ebay for a tenner! i'll let you know!

Also try changing all the earth straps! it's cheap to do, could be a bad earth!

I did mine recently, easy job!

in regards to the starting problems you haven't put a performance filter on your car have you? as i put a race k&n on a car of mine and it made starting and running the car in the cold a mare mate. in regards to the power prob take your car to a local garage that has a sun tuner the machine will tell the mechanic what is wrong with the engine and from the readout he should be able to diagnoise the problem,  it should only cost you between £25- £40, failing this a rolling road specialist, hope this helps

yeah have put a k and n panel filter on however i had the starting problem before i installed this.  I  will take it to the garage eventually just trying to save some money
cheers for help so far

For a cheap first option, pop down to your local MOT garage and ask them to set the C0 for you - If they are quiet should cost about a tenner i guess - here is what you set it to -


Disconnect the red lead by the coil, start her up, and adjust the idle from the idle screw to - 1000 rpm, then set the C0 to - 2.0%, then switch engine off, re-connect red lead, then re-set the idle speed to around 950+

At least this way you know the mixture is set up correctly!

i'll give that a go for a cheap fix cheers
