Hi All,
I have an X16XE engine and managed to finally get it running in my nova. I had a timing issue which is now sorted but I still have issues when accelerating that it is very boggy and unresponsive through the rev range.
So far I have checked / changed the following:
Idle control valve, cleaned no change.
Spark plugs, changed no change.
Throttle position sensor, changed no change.
Crank sensor, changed no change.
Cam Sensor, changed no change.
EGR Blanked off.
No SAI installed.
VSS all ok.
All chips and transponder ok.
Replaced inlet gaskets in case of air leaks.
Coil pack, changed no change.
HT Leads, changed no change.
Temp Sensor
I now also seem to be getting a tapping noise from the head around the area by the throttle body on the RHS.
I am really confused. All else seems ok. Timing was out but has been rectified and I don't believe any piston / valve problems have occurred.
My next step is to do a compression check.
Anyone get any other ideas?
Codes I flashed were EGR, Immobiliser and SAI faults.
Thanks all for your help in advance
