Good work mate. I love fixing things myself.. it's a bastard doing it, but feels great once it's done.

I'd still go buy the manual for your car when you can. It's awesome and includes the ECU diagnostics I was talking about.

gthofan · 24-12-2005, 03:58 PM

hey shaun no probs anytime

snypereb · 24-12-2005, 04:02 PM

Yeah i love doing it myself but it gets to a point sometimes when you jsut cant find the problem but oh well we did the majority of it!

No worries scotty thank again mate!

carazy · 24-12-2005, 04:08 PM

Hey I hear you.
A few of the things I will never do myself are gearboxes/clutches and a cars dash.
They're all bastard jobs.

gthofan · 24-12-2005, 04:12 PM

dashboards are allright, if u like the 5 left over bolts at the end of the job
and u dont know where they go

snypereb · 24-12-2005, 04:30 PM

I had that and i had to go right through the thing again and find where i forgot to put one haha

carazy · 24-12-2005, 04:31 PM

that's the only reason I stay away.
I'll take a dash out but never install it.. I HATE creeks and noises HATE Them with a passion and unless your a pro at NOT leaving bolts behind dashes will creek and make noise.

gthofan · 24-12-2005, 04:33 PM

hahahaha, noises and rattling plastic aaaaaarrrrggggghhhhh, thats all my dash is. im stuffed where they are coming from

snypereb · 26-12-2005, 08:11 PM

Hey boys did all that work turns out is a fuel filters seems like its full off s!@t and is blocking my fuel from getting throught to the engine. Can anyone tell me how much it would be to get a fuel filter done?

BLKPHN · 26-12-2005, 10:54 PM

DUDE I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM CHECK UR FUEL PRESSURE REG SEE IF THE PRESSURE IS RIGHT IF IT IS. THEN IT IS UR FUEL PUMP!!!

i was fuging around for ages and thats all it was despite $300 for a new pump.

snypereb · 26-12-2005, 10:58 PM

Is there a cheaper option?

MustangNicko · 26-12-2005, 11:01 PM

Changing a fuel filter is a piece of **** mate and they are cheap. Get two open end spanners and crack the nut by using the spanners as scissors. Your car sounds like what mine used to do. Is it back firing? Check the hall effect sensor in the distributor...

Kenaz · 26-12-2005, 11:32 PM

Fuel filter is a very simple job and will cost about $5 to replace.

Brent79 · 27-12-2005, 12:34 AM

Hmmmm, had this problem in my EA when i changed over to MPI... went great for about 2 hours then started doing EXACTLY what u mentioned here. Now i cant start the car at all coz the starter wont engage. :/

snypereb · 28-12-2005, 05:05 PM

Could it be my fuel pump how hard are they to change can i do it myself?
