We finally got the car plugged into the laptop today, looked at the data log which was appeared ok. Checked the output of a few sensors such as the throttle pot and all was ok.
Next we ran a diagnostic on the injectors and plugs which all fired as expected (2001 space odysee) and finally looked at the full diagnostics whilst turning her over. Straight away the crank sensor generated errors and on closer inspection it turned out that the crank shaft pulley bolt had come loose allowing the timing pulley to rotate.
Problem solved. Just need a new sprocket as the key has sheared and new timing pulley as it is damaged. CP has decided to do some maching and make some better washers and bolts to ensure it doesn't happen again.

I know a few of you are planning a Rockingham visit soon, if i have funds, i may join you.
:roll: I should have checked - I've had a lot of problems with the crank sensor pulley in the past but it had been alright of late after i had swapped one off a 1.4 astra on to it. Its nigh on impossible to keep stuff tight on my car. Note to self- start marking important bolts so they can be easily checked to see if they are coming loose:tard:
Never mind at least the engine isn't toast like I thought originally which is a relief.:D :D :D :D
lol @ lee - you aren't the only one to have commented on this issue:p
ahhh the crank sensor pully, would that be the one that we bodged up of an evening at a freinds house in the middle of weston many years ago so you could get home ?
No, that was the hybrid Nova/Nissan Bluebird item! This is the pukka one!
For you interest I have provisionally booked the 23rd Sep for Rockingham. Booked with BookaTrack.com. Not the cheapest but in my opinion well worth it. I have reserved a garage as well.
I'm scouring the net to find some more days for this summer too, possibly Silverstone or Donnington. We missed out on Brands Hatch GP circuit as the car wasn't ready.
P.s. He goes one further than the hands on hips. You should see "I'm a little tea pot"!

If funds allow, id like to try and make one due to my mishap at the beginning of the season. We'll just have to see, ive had my eye on Rockingham for a while.
well i will be doing this one :thumb: unless something goes wrong in the next 2 trackdays as i am far more overdue than any of you lot lol lol lol
