Loom was the first thing that I changed robsey, along with injectors..
When I changed it the car did run for about half an hour but it started the same problem again then sir

Watching the tread.

Cheers mate! Its just an ornament at the minute lol

Wish I could say "i told you so robsey" but im afraid I cant lol. Still no joy with the car, after checking and re-checking I think its safe to say the timing was dead on. Looked abit out but I honestly think its just the way I took the picture.. So since then ive found a broken wire going...

Checked a couple things today and might have eventually found my problem.. As I was saying before I flashed the codes and got 57 - idle speed control valve interruption. I started by checking the icv and taking it off, cleaning and refitted it. Didnt make any difference.. After that I was all out of...

Cheers mate, couldnt agree more!
Its much better coming into the shed and seeing the redtop under there.. even if it isnt going yet lol

Treated the rocker and timing cover to a new coat of paint too to freshen it up.. http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj632/dlynch2/20180203_153352_zpsdqaven5u.jpg http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj632/dlynch2/20180203_172357_zpszqfqdpop.jpg http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj632/dlynch2/2018...

Time for an update and im back to square one unfortunately :wall I went ahead and converted the vbelt altenator setup to the later ribbed belt. Reason I did this was because my old altenator and p/s pump werent the best and everything on my ecotec engine was like new. Only thing I needed was a redto...

Got my overfuelling problem sorted! I had a chat with the man I bought the engine off and explained to him what was happening. We heard a couple people mentioning that ot could be either loom or injectors . He was really sound about it and he gave me injectors fuel rail and loom out of his own car. ...

Cheers folks its getting there now. Turns out the fault wasnt anything major and was very stupid to be honest lol. Turns out there was a couple lives on the earth terminal of the battery :tdown Anyway weve got that side sorted now and weve moved onto the next problem.. We got the car started there l...

Hope it goes well for you.

Cheers mate fingers crossed and all that lol
Im going out tomorrow to give him a hand so hopefully we get to the bottom of it

Looks a very nice tidy example. The total lack of power infers that either a main power feed or ground wire is not connected to thr battery. In all honesty, you should not need to touch any wires in the engine bay, apart from swapping the ECU / injector loom. I converted from Multec (C18NZ) to Motr...

Havent been on this site in years wasnt sure it was still going. Always was mad about cavaliers but the last one i had was about 4 years ago and sold it to buy a carlton GSi 24v. As much as I loved the carlton, it just wasnt the same as having a cav so i sold up and went on the hunt again. I managed...

i could be wrong but is code 19 not just when the engine is not running, Ads (sorry about the double post) :oops: Not too sure to be honest someone else said that before too but on the list of faults codes on here it sayd its the crankshaft sensor, code 19 came up the 1st time I did the paperclip t...

Not necessarily, it tends to store that code as they stall, although it can be a problem with the sensor. If it's running roughly then it may well be the sensor in your case, check to make sure it is not contaminated. I pulled dead flies out of several in the past. Yeah she did stall on me one day ...

Have an 96 ecotec sri and it started running rough so I flashed the fault codes and got up 73 'air flow sensor voltage high' does that mean the sensor itself is faulty? I did the paperclip test a couple weeks ago and got code 19 crank shaft sensor but that seems to have fixed itself lol. Any help wo...

Lovely cav think it suits the fanblades best mate, I mind this car when it was in Derry northern ireland couple years ago, it was always immaculate looking, best of luck with it

Aye I've been told to get a genuine one, fudge I hope I don't have as much hassle as you did lad lol. don't think I'll bother with the LMF ones then, did you go to vauxhall themselves for one? How much are they can you remember?

Cheers for the reply lads, took the car for a run tonight and the engine management light came on so I put the foot down and it didn't rev past 4000, pretty sure its the crank sensor now, usual ecowreck stuff lol. Been told there's 2 different types of crank sensor for the xev, going to try vauxhall...
