I have recently rebuilt my ABF and started her up, only to find that she cuts out as soon as the revs drop!
The engine was stripped of all ancillaries, everything was either cleaned or painted, and then refitted with new gaskets and new bolts. I filled her up with manufacturer spec oil and coolant, checked all the loom for damage (repaired a few cracked wires) checked that there was power at all the plugs, checked all the fuses, checked all the appropriate relays got warm after driving around for 15 minutes and thoroughly cleaned the ISV with degreaser and then sprayed with WD40 (the ISV clicks with direct current from the battery but then silent when connected).
I have replaced the white coolant sensor, the crank/speed sensor and vacuum lines, the air and fuel filters were replaced just before I bought it.
Before the rebuild the engine was suffering from hesitation and lack of power around 3000 rpm and cutting out at high temp and were showing an ABS fault and a crank/speed sensor fault. All bar the ABS fault seem to have been cured. Also the oil hazard light is blinking on ignition but clears when the cars started and the oil temp shows -- -- on the clock display, however I believe this is just down to the spade connector snapping on one of the sensors located on the oil filter housing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have only had the car for 4 months and 3 of those has been the rebuild lol!
Cheers.
