Project B woes...
20. Aug 2006 at 16:13

Well went with Jamie to the scrappy again today for some bits.

Needed a screen wash pump as the old one was nakered & also needed an air intake temp sensor, which was causing the EM light to come on.

Well replaced the air intake sensor next to the air filter, but the EM light still comes on Angry

- Ran it for about 3/4 mins.... it remained on.

Replaced the screen wash pump, now makes a pumping noise, but no jets of water from the front or back Sad

On closer inspection both black wires to the front jets have come loose from the jet and i can see the green foam??!?! inside the cable Undecided

Thanks to Jamie the leccy passenger seat now has some movement (forward & back, back goes up and down), this was due to cruddy connections not making a good connection on the switch buttons.

Today i stripped down the drivers side, hopeing for the same problem. But alas no Angry

- All the connectors were clean and seamed to be making good connections bar 1.

Also there is only 1 loom connector on the drivers side leccy seat, compared to the passenger side which has 2. Angry

Also the only one i can find on the drivers side seams to be for the mechanical pre-tensionsor!!

So lots of work done, but nothing really achiveed Angry

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Yeah there is a little rubber filter, i cleaned that yesterday when at Jamie's... its fairly clear, might try getting the pump out again, and sticking it a bottle of water & see if i get a nice water feature going! Grin

Not sure on the fault code, Jamie might know. Tech 2 said the Air-Intake Sensor was faulty... i'll paper clip test it and get the code...

That sounds strange with my seats the passenger seat connected up using the one loom, originally in place from the old seats.

The drivers seat should have two one for powering the motor and the other is for the dimming mirror and wing mirror connection to the seat for the memory. I think thats how it works.

I just put on the other sensor along with the air pipe, the EM light is still on Sad

Started it ran it for 30 seconds or so, and it remained on. Must be the wiring Undecided
