Say hello to my little friend!

[Bazcam]

Happy new year to you too.

Got the ECU back on Monday, it had been dropped off at the wrong
yard so it had to stay there till after the break.

Sounds like your 1st gear is behaving as it should, round about 40 is
the same as mine, changes to 2nd before it hits the rev limiter though.
2nd takes it to about 70, 3rd I've no idea as I chicken out about 95.

I've never hit the rev limiter on mine, it always changes before it gets
that far, maybe a symptom or connected to your gear change problems.

Hi all happy new year! :-) did the ecu's turn up lads? Vince?
Not had a lot of time to work on the truck over the holiday but have been driving it a lot.
I def do not have 2nd gear, the gear that 1st changes into must be third, if I accelerate hard from a stand still the the box changes from first at the rev limiter at around 40mph or just before, the gear I get from first even if I'm in 2 on the selector will allow me to accelerate from 40 all the way to 100 without hitting the rev limiter, so that can't be 2nd?
What's everyone else's like?
Also I have been messing around with the tps but can't seem to get that right till the box is right.
Thanks

Yeah that's the kiddie
Sent them an email the other day about it, I have to send it back for testing and they will replace, just a pain in the bum having to take it all out. Good chance to make the access hatch though I suppose.
Still not sorted the gear change issue yet though :-(
Been playing with the tps a lot and I'm pretty sure it's faulty but not tested it with multimeter yet. No time at the mo but using it quite a bit and everything else seems ok. The fan I have mounted on the bottom cools the oil perfectly, it drops from around 86 to 70 in about 90secs!

[Bazcam]

Is that this one?

Yep, that's the one.

[Bazcam]

Have the ecu's turned up yet lads?

Not yet mate, the address I gave you was my work address and we shut
down till the 6th Jan yesterday. I'll pop into work today, see if there's a
card.

[Sylux]

Remember you saying you did that, and thinking I'll do the same

I'm sure some of my old Fords had the access panel. Positive my Capris did ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[BUSHWHACKER]

There are some Chinese Walbro copies knocking about, they even have the W stamped on them to make them seem genuine and it seems some retailers are innocently selling the.
I cut an access panel in the floor under the rear seat now with a sealable cover incase of any pump problems.

Hi all
Just noticed that my fuel pump has started whining, quite loudly as I can hear it in the car, is this normal? Or is it cause I just filled up? Been putting in 30litres a time to gauge fuel consumption but last time I put in 50 litres and now it's started whining?
Thanks

Mine started whining after a couple of months, about 1500klms old.
Gradually got worse till I dropped the tank, looking for a blocked pickup,
couldn't see anything amiss so refitted. Only lasted a couple more days.
Its been fine since the new one went on.

Is that this one?

[zem_41]

Not sure to be honest buddy, Vince would know that straight away, there's a wire down by the gear selector somewhere that needs to be connected up.

Zem, have you fixed the starting in gear problem yet? What was up with it? I could have nightmares about that happening. :/
