Important! : Ed's 1.1 16v- Dead in a cloud of smoke. - Page 10 - Saxperience

oh believe me you will make that exhaust fit no matter what lol

ed-bradley · 19th November 2011, 23:30

Right then,

After asking for some help on here.. I may be getting somewhere..
I've had a few loose odds and ends, mainly being a couple of sensors and Vacuum pipes from the brake servo and FPR.

I'd like someone, if possible to give me abit of advice, so I can try and get it running.

-Would having no Vac pipe on the end of the FPR cause it not to start? Low fuel pressure?

- I've also been told, I may have to change an FPR in my fuel tank? I haven't touched anything to do with the fuel tank, pump or fpr (If there is one in my 1.1 tank?)

Id imagine it would struggle to start with no vaccum pipe attached to fpr. Also dude you dont have to change the fpr in tank and rail i just did it for piece of mind.

And i have a stainless steel decat pipe here for vts if you want it £20

ed-bradley · 20th November 2011, 19:44

Ahh cool, that gives me piece of mind sort of Lol.
I'll hopefully sort that tomorrow, along with the TPS, Reckon it'd start or fire with no MAP sensor in?

I'll take that Decat to sometime this week hopefully, Just got to buy a few more bits before hand like.

sam_16v · 25th November 2011, 18:16

nearlly there mate i have a spare map sensor FS if you need one
does it look like this

ed-bradley · 25th November 2011, 19:11

Iye, nearly there

Once i've got the ecu then it should fire up, i think. Lol

Ahh its alright mate, I sorted a MAP sensor from saxovtrmk1

He's sorted me half the bits on the engine to be honest haha.

sam_16v · 25th November 2011, 19:12

ok mate yeah hes sorting me to lol

ed-bradley · 1st December 2011, 22:35

IT RUNS, finally ffs!

The crank sensor was to blame! I must of had one from a different model or something, Tried one from Saxdazza's vtr and spliced the plug in, and BOOM..fired up straight away.

So it Lives, it runs. I'm yet to drive it yet, as I need to bleed the cooling system and give everything a once over.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow

jonesyFX · 1st December 2011, 23:54

Hats off, good luck!

Exhaust should sound ace too

Thanks Man

I do owe alot of praise to load of mates on here though. If it wasn't for them, It'd never have got running!
Ahh, I can't wait to get that exhaust on. I need to get a VTR/S decat before I can put it on, until then I'm using the old crappy 1.1 system

Can't wait to drive it again though! Need to take it easy for a couple of weeks, as I've still got the same brakes on, Can't swap them over to the others until I've got the discs from my dads like.

Cheers mate, yeah I must admit the wheels were a marmite thing. I did like them for abit tbh aswell, but they were a pain to keep clean as i didn't paint them properly. I've got another set of Compomotives though now, and I'm tempted to paint them a bright colour and just use them every now and then

Keep that pink paint!! I think it looked the business, maybe chuck an orange in there with lime green

Yeah, brakes are next on the list

I'll be sorting them in a couple of weeks, either by having a dick about with some 266mm and trying to convert them to 3 stud or I'll buy some new struts, wishbones etc and do it the easy way.

Need to get the Sideskirt back on now after it was ripped off in anger.

Still need to tidy the bay up, but it'll do for now.

**Also, random problem** My dials have gone awall.. When I turn the ignition to the 2nd position, the clocks light up like this.. If I put the indicators on, the lights that illuminate the Dials flash.. -_- Reckon its a dodgy earth?
