hi i am new to the site and i was jus wanting to say hi and ask if there is any way of some helping me out ?

well on tues there i collected the 1.3 lx turbo from a grassy or something-lol

however wen i was up n we went a drive in it it seemed ok but now i got it home and there is a few probs, main 1 is stalling at idle n my friend said its running 3 cylinders sometimes , also said it was bad -lol so any help will be great thanks guys

love jane x
 
Welcome to the MSC. Good luck getting your problem resolved!

Mr Grassy is registered here so might post a reply to this, apart from that i hope others can help you :)
 
:( this was my car :(-lol i was next in line to buy it he told me it was sold jus needing collection, how is it ?

well i dont know but id guess that stalling could be down to TB (throttle body) and the dropping a cylinder i dont know really but hope u get her sorted!!

stephen

ps welcome to club u got pics?
 
check all the plugs leads etc..... if not...... then try to lower the boost a little and see if it helps with the cyclinder loss...

the stalling may down to a few things but again. try to lower the boost slightly and see if it helps..

you may find though its the age old problem of the failing micra throttle body...
 
its a bit sluggish when going through the revs ... like it goes full power then half n full power again :(
 
throttle body...

looks like you need a new one..


theres hundreds on ebay...

Are you in Scotland then? or where abouts are you from?

You definately got a fast wee car, what made you pick it??
 
i loved how cute it was n the alloys looked so nice :)

yeah i stay in glasgow west end, daddy took me up to see it , guy in uni is like on here or somit n told me bout it going so cheap so i asked mum n dad for money to get it ... n i got it :)

love xxx
 
i bet you never let them open the bonnet then?...lol

what you need is some super S bumpers.....nicely smoothed body work and roof strips....and that would do actualy...
 
hiya...

welcome to the club and that... :)

i think keep it as standard looking as possible, sleeper if you will...

get some nice steelies on with on wheel trim missing...lol
 
what will realy confuse them is the 1.0 badge on the back......and the pink wheel cover...lol
 
Welcome Jane,

FAO everyone:

Keep it clean and on topic, thanks.
 
Again, A post of mines WITH COMPLETE relevence to the subject has been removed... I know this girl. We get on well, I just haven't seen her since January and you remove it! Please explain, I'd be willing to accept it if it had good reason?
 
yeh it was a bit out of hand...welcome :) u gonna race it then? - not that i am influencing racing but it is a track car after all rather than just your av run around
 
It was in the middle of loads of unrelated posts, out of context it makes no sense. As it happens you accept when you join as a site or club member that post may be removed with out notice and with no explanation.

seen it on other forums where they ahve removed the head post and left the rest and no one knows what the hell is going on...lol

but i get your point....anyway

i love the car but doesnt look like its lowered?

is it?o_O
 
ok so i looked under the bonnet n checked the spark plugs, they were bit black but i assume this is normal as it runs a bit rich. then i checked all hoses to find 1 had a small screw in it which i believe goes on the underside of the standard airbox so wat does this hose do n is it best blocked up or free to air.... wen i had it blocked it ran really rich at idle n didn enjoy it too much but wen i removed it it ran lean n so smooth... so wat is best ?

love ya xxxxx
 
well i have mine unblocked but then again i'm not running with a turbo.

TBH i've seen people do both. If you get it on a rolling road see if they will let you do two runs and give it a test.
 
car is booked on the rollers for sat at 2.00 so will be maped n may get a power out put ;)

on another note does any1know if an apexi will reset n lose the mapped info on it if i remove battery?

x
 
to be honest....googles your best bet....or ed......he will know...im just guessing...sorry
 
cool i hope ed can post his opinion on the car coz it sounds like hes a gentle man in the know :)

thanks
 
They do not lose settings :) You should as a first thing however get rid of it and consider an e-manage instead.
 
i am considering a standalone ecu however i want the cheapest ... however best suited for my application... so wat option do i have n how much will it cost? i see in davey cs thread u say do not use an fse pressure reg so wat will i replace it with n will it cost alot to change over?

next things is my fuel pressure is 3 bar ... is this too high?

xxxx

ps will this product suffice with the 2 harnasses available? or will i need the ultimate?

blue is fine for your engine, its standard internals so you dont want to go any more than that. you need ignition and fuel harnesses extra, also you will need the boost pressor sensor. you can then properly map and sort out all the running problems. A standalone ecu will once installed and fitted + mapped be 3-4x more expensive.
