Hi, it is a 88/89 car, I think it has a cataly.. it is a turbo, so, it start just fine, iddle just fin...

yep, I was thinking, coeld it be that the fuel pump is not working properly?

Hi, my 480 turbo don't drive well , it feel like driving on 3 cilinders and get asmatic symptoms, I think it could be an ignition problem, maybe teplacing the rotor and ( in dutch : verdeler kap ) rotor-cap black plastic thing with the plugs wire inplugged, shell that help or ?? Pls. Help Greetings...

is the CEM from an ES the same as for turbo models? I'd definately say no. This clearifies as soon as you start talking about what the CEM does. The Central Electric Module controls all electronics inside our 480's which means that if something is wrong, it could be the CEM that causes it. Read mor...

i would go for the easy fix first, and check the drl bulbs.....some spares shops sell ones that look almost exactly like the right ones but the pins on the bulb arent offset.....even if they loo like theyre working, they can creat havoc with the whole lighting system.....just replaced mine....every...

Hm, well it's hard to tell without digging into to it. I have a funny thing with my lamps to, but in a different way (i'm sure you've seen my thread "lights freaking out"). My popup's also always introduce themselves by poping up when I turn the handle, then of the pop's hides itself and comes back...

Hi Martin, the fuse are te same as always, but I will check, the both pop-up stay up but the right light go off + the right city light go also off and the right direction light don't work

Hi, may be u can help me out :-) , when I turn the lights on , they go on & after a couple of seconds 1 pop-up lights go off , 1 city lights too and the right direction light don't work anymore, what can it be? I see that if I turn only the city lights directions lights and everything works ok, I ho...

If one plug is like new (no deposits, or fuel wetting) then I will go with the injector option. Have a look at the plugs on the injectors. They get brittle and crack with the heat. If the clip part snapps off then the plug will not stay on the injector. Also check the plug near the engine lifting e...

Hi, I see that the spark-plug of the cilinder N0. 4 is looking like new and spark-plug of cilinder N0. 1 little black, the sparks-plug wheren all new and setted up in the engine the same time ( something like 5 months ago ) so it could be that cilinder N0. 4 dont get gasoline , somebody told me at t...

Hi again, so the coil can let the car go , it give enogh power to all 4 sparks, but can feed down 1 ? is it correct? in other words , if the spark-power is lower then needed 1 or more sparks can not feeded, do I understand correctly? Ps. It is always cilinder/sparks N0. 4 ( telling from right to lef...

Hi , I replaced the spark-plug cable with an other but it don't got better

Could be your igition coil is faulty! You have a scrap yard near you? grab a coil. make sure the HT leads are on! if that don't sort it then look for a MAF air leaks could cause it run bad. When did this start to happen and did it happen all of a studden or just get worse and worse ??? Hi I don't t...

Hi, wich comp ( cem, ecu ..) take care of ignition &/or fuel, because it could depend of, maybe it is electrical , any tips? Thx Stargate I would start with mechanical stuff. Spark, fuel, compersion. If there's not fuel I would swap injectors' place. Then check if there's power in failed injector's...

Hi, is the Ecu responsable of the ignition/fuel management? 'cose the engine of my turbo ( 87 ) most of the time run on 3 cilinder it has asmatic symptoms, I thought can be the rotor and or the rotor cap,
