c16xe engine
i have done a straight engine c16xe swap and it is not running right i have changed the cam and crank sensor and still it revs up to 4 thousand revs and will not give me any more it also judders when i plant my foot the floor straight away any ideas??? the last thing i can think of is the ecu but i have tried both of them and still the same out come.
A few things to try:Originally Posted by simmo 07
any air leaks?
Have you flashed up any fault codes?
what airbox are you running? Standard??
AFM maybe at fault.
Crank sensor maybe faulty.
Cam sensor maybe faulty.
First do a fault code test and see if any codes come up.
not sure how to check for air leeks and fault codes as i dont have a diagnostic plug or a 10/16 pin. crank and cam sensor are genuine new parts. running a k&n filter.
I would hazard a guess at an air leak - worth checking before the other things anyway
you sure it could be an air leak it seems like the limiter has dropped in some way because when i hit 4000 rpm its like it bounces off the limiter
anyone got any ideas still getting this problem its also getting harder and harder to start aswel
Had same problem with my x16xe and it was low fuel pressure
Is it a 'proper' crank sensor? I appreciate it's new, but I had problems with a cheap EBAY crank sensor, and it was only solved by fitting a genuine part.
