Boot it everywhere and youll still come away with that.

Almost in the same boat as you Im affraid. Im doing high miles, but all short journeys. Need a Dweezil or a vegmobile. (again)SteveP wrote:You're not trying hard enough Ben
Can't believe you're selling that beauty, that looks like a lovely example.
Hmm, I would say that you are showing symptomps of gadgeteering, even it is fairly harmless condition, it is often one that prevents one to accomplish one simple thing because there would be so many more that would be handy to do while at itChris_C wrote:Chris, I love graphs They tell a story and are so much easier to understand than guessing symptoms. Even if the story they tell is your car is running like a Ford
I've just fitted new leads Jani, it has made a difference. I had a good talk with pettaw in the pub a week or so ago about all this, as ever he had good insightful ideas about where to start (she's currently missing the odd spark too, giving a lumpy idle and as Andy said, that'll be confusing the ECU via the lambda)
Loom, well I keep moving parts around so the wires at the moment are mainly still individual. It shouldn't be to hard, but thing is I don't want to just extend wires as I like clean signals and no solder joints. So, I need to get a load of ECU pin crimps and re run each individual wire. Whilst I'm doing all that I want my MAP sensor moved, along with more wire on my IAT sender, rerun the fuel pump wire a different direction (that is controlled by the ECU on the F7's, it's a sexy self priming system) and I've found that Williams's (maybe the 16V's too, but not sure on that) should run an aux electric water pump so if the thing is still hot when you park her up that kicks in. With the autosoloing and some stagey stuff I do that'd be super useful, so I want that too. Whilst I'm there, I could move the coil pack so I don't have to run the 1.7 340 king lead, the clio one is super short, the 1.7 lead is an aerial almost the width of the engine bay. Maybe Renault did that for a reason.
I'm also tempted to co-ax a heck of a lot of the sensors, so, I'm currently just working out how to do all of this in the best way. I'm aware I have an MOT coming up, so I also need to do non engine related stuffs. So... I'm tempted to make a second loom at the moment. That way, I can do it off the car and just do a straight swap one day. I also want to move the ECU somewhere, I'm just not sure where. I don't like the inner wing like Adam normally does his looms, when the pair of us did mine we put it under the glove box. But I'm almost tempted to put it down where the GLT ECU lives, though I've a feeling I hid my bluetooth thingy down there
You can't go around wiring stuff up properly, it might work then and where would be the fun in that?Chris_C wrote:I'm also tempted to co-ax a heck of a lot of the sensors
