No not this one. Can't find any other socket under the dash. And I've looked real hard. (Nearly broke my back upside down in the seat with my head on the pedals :P ) Is there anyone from UK/Europe that can get the codes with the GND+TEN jump trick or anyone know of an adapter to rig it up to a compu...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try the wd40 in a sec. My friend thinks it will be the distributer. He thinks I damaged it somehow doing the compression test wrong.
I've checked both coils and they're in spec so could it be the distributer cap? Anyone know how much this will be in UK?

I've taken a video with my girls V3 Razor so not the best quality but you can see exactly what I mean. Also a vid of the exhaust. Can hear a few back fires/misses.

Hope this helps:

I've checked the inlet pipes. Look fine. Can't hear any whistling either. Will check the EGR today but the manual does'nt mention it for this problem? What would have starting the engine without the Resonance Duct have done? Could it have messed with the ECM or the spark advance timing? I thought I ...

Here's the pic of my plug: http://a661.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/12/m_34e85795e3efa6dab14366015359727c.jpg It's not the standard OBDII like you say. I think it's definatly OBDI because it's got 3 connectors on the ECM not 4: http://a121.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/25/m_cf02e5f798c630f5...

Oh yeah forgot to mention that after the dodgy compression test my plugs are black. So lack of air? or I read on here that if the ECM thinks something is wrong it runs the engine rich to prevent knocking. Know where I can get some HT leads from in UK near Cheshire if pos? (Just sold 6 month old dist...

I tested the PCV valve according to F2-124 in the manual. It's ok. I always thought it sounded faulty as it ticks rapidly? But I've never come accross one before so I don't know what it should sound like. It's covered in oil tho. But I've only had it for less than a month. :) so I don't know any his...

No joy.
unplugged VAF connector
connected top GND and TEN.
placed a 12v bulb between FEN and B+ and nothing.

I'll try the multimeter to see if there's any voltage at all.

If this does'nt work how the fook can I get the codes?

Thanks for the help.

Should the PRC Solenoid Valve cut the vacuum to the Fuel Pressure regulator when you accel?

When I accel slow the preesure remains but when I accel fast the vacuum drops. But is this due to the drop in engine speed?

could one or two bad (high resistance) leads have this much effect?

I did test them and there were none over 21k ohm.

What would you call a bad lead? Manual says 16 k ohm per meter but is it 16.1k per meter or 16.1G ohm?

I will try to get a new set. Anywhere in uk to get parts cheap?

My MX-3 V6 24v 1845cc (K8) 1995 has been running ok until I did a compression test the other day. Went to drive to work and tried to pull away into the main road and it nearly stalled on me! SYMPTOM: Car starts fine and idles fine and will even rev high if reved very SLOWLY. Even whilst driving on t...

Cheers mate.
Coincidently already done that so i'll try the check light in a mo.

I'm in UK. It is a manual. TAT makes more sense now. :) I don't know any more details I could give except it's stock. Please ask specifically so I can find out. I tried the test light between FEN & B+ and I got nothing. So to find out if it's working how can I trigger a code to make sure? (Don't...

Here's a pic of an identical socket that I took off one I scrapped. (before you say thats why it's not working )

Hi ariesdude. Thanks for the quick answer. Thanks for clearing up the confusion between TEN&GND/TAT&GND. However I don't have the TAT pin!? So I tried TEN & GND again and tried both a multimeter and a then a bulb between FEN & B+ but I go nadda! I really need these codes but it does'...
