Awesome, I'll give it a go cheers lads.
Is there any reason why it would suddenly change the mixture?

air leak, wonky sensor reading, as a guess
I've changed the mixture not sure if its richer or leaner but it seems to have cleared it at the lower end of the range but its still there above about 4.5k. You were saying about the EML, mine hasn't flashed once. Is it in the middle of the clocks (I have GTE clocks) I'll just make sure there is actually a bulb in there.
Mine never showed any faults on the ecu either.
No bulb in for the EML :roll:
Anyone know which is the EML, I have the one with the engine and the one with the spanner. Neither have a bulb in.
I'm just hoping its not an issue with the fueling i.e injectors or FPR or the coil and ignition module. I can't afford it with it being so close to the end of the month.
engine.. can't remember, cos mine is the choke light symbol... i left the choke cable in as well to confuse people
Right, I just went to get some beers and was pulling into my drive and it started spluttering like it was running out of fuel. I got out and I could smell fuel. The send pipe had been rubbing on the alternator and had split. What a retard I am! Nevermind all sorted now.
Any chance air bubbles in the lines could of caused my poor running?
Or the loss of pressure yeah, if it was leaking on the alt you were bloody lucky it didn't go up in flames tbh!Quote:

Was an Astra (iirc? some sort of vaux anyway) that went up in flames on the way to PV or similar couple years ago, exact same issue. Was completely burnt out by the time the fire service got there :eek:
Well hopefully its fixed, cuase of low pressure, I can't tell yet, I've ran out of fuel lol Mummy dearest is on route after the game with a jerry can :)
Just make sure the fuel line is well out the way this time lol
I've cable tied it up and right out of the way. Must be about the 95th cable tie on the car so far, the rest of it is held together with snot and chewing gum lol
Flol I hope it's all good now mate, my mate forgot to cable tie his oil pipes on his LET mk2 astra gte, bottom pulley into said pipes and bingo high pressure oil leak FTW lol
^lol
Its still broken :( I'm gonna check the cambelt make sure it hasn't skipped a tooth. Jimbob timed it up for me last year so there is marks on it. Cam pulley at 12 oclock and see if the mark on the crank pulley lines up with pointer. Or so I'm told.
I'm gonna get the epileptic gun out tommorow and double check EVERYTHING.
I hate cars....
Iirc the mark on the pulley is only a ignition timing mark but if you take of the bottom pulley and look at the crank cog that drives the toothed belt one of the teeth has a dot on it that lines up with a notch on the block to give you TDC on no1 piston, Also on that engine it's the water pump that acts as the tensioner for the belt.
Do you do the tipex thing when using a timing strobe?
Well, not tipex, nail varnish! They call me Monica on a weekend ;)
I'll have a look when I've woken up abit and I can actually function. Once again, your a star bazil.
correct the cam timing mark is under the pulley, the mark on the pulley is for your ignition timingQuote:

I got someone to look at it whos a bit more clued up then me and they said it looks like its jumped a tooth or two.
I got some second hand injectors to go on there too. Will let you know later or tommorow.
cool, hope it gets fixed, whats the engine in? a gte?
Get a breaker bar on teh bottom pulley, give the car a quick crank to crack it off :thumb:
