• Vauxhall Zafira - Zafira z18xe throttle problems 6 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  in sensor, faulty ecu. I'm no mechanic though so these are pure guesses. If anyone has ever had this problem and fixed it please let me know otherwise i'm gonna start replacing things which probably don't need replaced.

  and the car would sprint 50 miles on 25 short,  hairy (although that would be an optional extra) organic legs. Or perhaps an organic brain instead of an ECU. `I`m not starting - I have a headache` Or maybe you could re-create the sadistic school headmaster of mine - long gone - have him

  she called out the AA, who could not get in the car and they lifted it home and put it outside her house. The AA mentioned going to citroen and getting them to have a look, as he says it could be the acutual central locking motor has gone caput, or its and ECU fault. he seems to think that its

  on, goes out and the vehicle starts and drives as normal, except that there's no turbo boost. Everything is pointing to the PCM(ECU) loosing a feed/earth. I've got a CD ROM with a complete service manual on, including wiring diagrams, which has been a great help, but some of the diagrams, wire colours

• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 03 2.0 Intermittent starting problem 13 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  this for sevral weeks now only failing once or twice before starting - so I just thought that the ECU was not "ready" or something ....... However last night I had to try for almost 10 minutes before it would start - the engine was warm btw, not that that seems to make any difference to this problem

  !! Anyway, I have used the paperclip method and have retreived the following code from my ECU :- 0100. Has any one experienced this and got any ideas ? Thank you in advance, frustrated....... Sutters {subject header edited to include full error code}
• Volkswagen Golf III (1992 - 1997) - Performance Mods? 7 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  & Cheap ish - but not dramatic even if I get 5bhp. Do they work? 2) Can you put a 16v head & MP injection on an 8v? How would you find out if you could? What else would you need asside from the ECU & intake manifold.... More expensive, more complicated - particularly for insurance & problem
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001 1.6 help with erratic temp gauge 25 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  for blockages, had the cooling system flushed through so there are no air locks, thermostat has been changed, so has the tempreture switch between the ht leads, the water pump has been taken off and changed, the car has been to an electrical place to check for fault codes and the ecu but they have found nothing
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001 1.6 Intermittent starting delay 21 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  to matter if it is hot or cold; sometimes this happens when the engine is already warm and sometimes it will start instantly in very cold weather. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem? Gates of Ford reckoned that it is most likely to be the ECU needing a calibration but then again they might
• Vauxhall Vectra B (1995 - 1999) - 99 x20xev Poltergeist in rev counter 25 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  afternoon all; My lovely green Vectra X20XEV simtec 56.5 ECU has decided to devlop a new fault, as follows:- I'm rattling up the M3 at around 60 all is normal, then the car suddenly judders and the rev counter starts fluctuating rapidly between 0 and 5000 rpm. I dip the clutch and the car stalls
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - TDCi - Fuel gauge / computer discrepancy 16 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  range was 50 miles (the gauge was still showing the tank to be full!) and I wondered if the ECU would stop the engine when the computer thought the fuel was about to run out. When I started the car the next day, the low fuel light was still on and computer showing only about 25 miles - 10 miles later, I
• Water in air intake Peugeot 306 HDI 26 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  in several different positions , but all to no avail ? Hopefully though perhaps all that is required now is an electronic control unit reset ? Please anyone know how to reset the Bosch ECU , or any other ideas which might help ...?
• Renault Scenic 2000 DCi 1 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  at all times, however once doing above 65 - 70 the igniition warning light comes on, then goes out once you slow down..... only does it at 65 - 70, obvioulsy a faulty sensor, problem is when reading the ECU fault mem, there is no fault stored (as these engines typically dont store everything). Has
• 95 Golf 1.6 (AEE) Accelerator Dead Spot 2 May 2007 (Forum)
  Afternoon all I've got a 1995 1.6 Golf with an AEE engine. It had to have some work done recently which involved disconnecting the ECU (don't know if this is relevant, but . . . ). Since then it's had an intermittent (but consistently intermittent!) dead spot on the accelerator. The dead spot

  diesels or is there a problem with this model and its ECU mapping? Or is it just my car? I have yet to confront the Peugeot dealer - that will be my next course of action but in the meantime - does anyone else have this problem? An Internet search for '407 flat spot' only shows one thread in an Asian
• daewoo matiz EZ+ 15 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  , even when it's running well. Just about every sensor has been replaced or substituted, including the ECU. The injectors have been changed, as has the inlet manifold and the engine wiring harness. Sticking valves have been suggested and ruled out. Electronic diagnosis gizmos seem to come up
• The end of rust? 4 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  of rot around the rear arches on old Mondeos or Vectras but that can be prevented by careful removal of crud when washing the car. Makes you think that if you look after the bodywork and service them regularly you can easily see 20+ years in a modern car. Probably an ECU or electrical fault too expensive
