UPDATE.

It started last night with new ecu and a fully charged battery. But it took a while and a bit of gas and died of I didn't keep the revs up. Have a timing light and gonna check that tonight and also go right over the cooler piping again just incase I missed a vacuum leak.

Thanks everyone for your help so far

hi DVS i have just tested the car again a small amount of white smoke came out. i then tested with out the afms and run the same. checked my codes in the ecu and got 12 which is afm im guessing cause i unplugged them and also 21 which was ignition signal. any idea wat would cause it to throw that code.

Try and get a noid light or led test light to make sure the injectors are firing.

Did u fix the power feed to the injectors?

Is the fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel rail getting hard when the pump is priming?

Try and restrict the return line from the rail to the fuel tank by squeezing it closed with soft pliers ie turtle jaws (plastic pliers).

Were u driving when the car stopped or it just wouldnt start?

Does it have fuel?

Does it definately have spark?

put noid light in number one injector and started light was coming on. i fixed the power feed with a new ecu. guessing injector drive was fried like you suggested. fuel line is getting hard. i was driving when it stopped was on the highway and it started misfiring and then died when i hit the clutch. definetly has spark tested every coil and plug. definetly has fuel aswell. thanks for all your help DVS i would be stuffed without ya.

No worries man.

Just to be sure take the Fuel line off the rail and put it into a clear bottle then prime the pump so u can get a sample of the fuel, who knows it Might be full of water from a servo, if the fuel is ok and not contaminated put the line back on the rail and tighten.

Ok so u now have spark and fuel, chexk the timing of the cam belt and crank angle sensor thoroughly then its time for a compression and leak down test.

Interesting!

Have you tried a different ignitor?

Got to think If the car was runing and it backfired there a few things that cause that?

Excessie heat? (to lean)

Ping?

Unburnt fuel in the bore? (no spark in a cylinder)

Detanation?

From what you are saying it sounds ignition related tho

I will try and hunt down a different ignitor and test that. Not sure about it leaning out usually end up with black shit all over the back of my car after driving it for a week. Will look into the ignitor though and also yet the timing tonight

hey guys checked the timing and got it back to position. Tool it for a drive jut to see if I had a bit of shot fuel in the bores when I took off it started blowing blue smoke and won't get positive pressure tested it when I got home and my rear turbo isn't sucking. Gonna start ripping it off now and will report on the state of it

Soo so far its been a mixture of issues,

Fried ecu , timing incorrect( was it cas timing or cam timing?)

A blown rear turbo? Which unfortunately will more then likely mean ceramic dust has entered the cylinders. But hopefully not.

Have u got the turbos off yet?

What turbos are u going to refit?

  • 3 weeks later...

Ok i have now replaced the turbo which was buggered found the rear wheel (or what was left of it) in the cat. Now will not start with out a few pumps of the pedal and sounds like a Subaru I drove it for a bit and got it warm still the same story.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
