trying to help out my brother with his car. i dont know much about cars really, but i think im pretty good with trouble shooting.

my brother has a 91 cefiro attesa cruising. his awd light has been coming on, and has been happening for a while. he said everyone he asked couldnt explain it and didnt know where to start looking for a solution, so i got a bit interested.

he has recently put a r32 gtr gearbox in the car, and when we had the car in bits, i noticed the attesa resioiver was a bit low. topped that up, but i have read that "when people change clutches they often forget to bleed the attesa lines" or something similar. this has not been done yet, but the problem was also happening before when the car was still auto.

and from what i have read, i found to check the light flashing on the rear parcel shelf. i didnt see it, but i told him that next time the light comes on, dont turn off the car and count the flashes.

he says it was 18, a puase, then 18 more, so im assuming he got it down right.

then this link says 18 ETS pressure switch or circuit

but i dont know where to go next to track down the problem.

what can i do next? let me know if you need any more information.

wow.. never knew there were ceffies with ATTESSA..

I think I found my new porn!

Was it a personal import?

is 'cefiro attesa cruising' the model name?

thats just sex!

actually, not sure if it was a personal import. he just baught it off some guy. i dont know the details

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cefiro and see attesa cruising.

we just went for another drive, but this time we were getting error code "1" which is right front wheel sensor.

this happened multiple times, probably 4 times. we didnt get 18 again.

doesn anyone know exactly where the sensor is located? is it easy to just like unplug, clean in plug it back in? is it easy to tell if it is damaged?

and that, and im not entirely sure my brother counted the 18 correctly. but i saw the 1 error code more than once.

woulda been kinda funny for the pedestrians, car pulls over, two guys get out and open the boot and jump in, they probably thought wtf, haha

Sorry I can't be much help with your questions,

But how do you get ATTESSA to run diagnostics?

when the light comes on on the dash (AWD) the box in the rear parcel shelf flashes a sequence, which gives the error code.

oh, a major thing i forgot to say...... THIS DOESNT HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME.

sometimes he can drive and it will be working normally the whole time, other times he moves the car 10 metres and the light comes on.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
