More Stage Problems

[SNEEZYC34]

Hey guys,

i am having more problems with the stag.

i dont think i have brought i lemon, i just think the guy i brought the car from wasnt completely honest.

firstly, the stag went into limp mode on the way home from picking it up.

took it to MV automatics, got all new shift solenoids and shift kit, and they advised that this had been an issue for a while and should have been fixed long ago.

now, when i drive. if i start it and let it warm up for about 2 minutes, i drive and it cuts out, and sometimes, when i am accelerating it misses like its running out of fuel and missing.

anyone have any suggestions as this is really testing me and i am starting to get really pissed off.

i know some people lie when ya buy a car... but after having mv check over it and advised the gear box had never been serviced when i was told other wise is very frustrating.

i have cleaned AFM, checked for leaks, took the idle control valve off and cleaned it up but still the same.

any ideas and suggestions would be great.

cheers guys

I have not had the problem but it sounds a bit like the CAS is playing up ? Remove the CAS plug and WD40 it too.

It could have other issues like sparkplugs, coil packs but i really don't know. Is there any water or oil etc down in the spark plug valley ? that really disrupts the spark.

Another thing to check is take off the kick panel that covers the ECU and check the loom for any dodgy joined / spliced wires.

It's down in the front passenger foot well, on the LHS.

Does it do it while just idling after warming up ?

Ueah well I drove home tonight and it ran a dream whch is doing my head in. Coz it doesnt happen all the time makes it hard to eliminate things. Might sus CAS

Was fine this morning... went on break at lunch. Car cut out. Was like it was "searching" then engine melfunction light came on. So its not cas

Do a basic service on it including Fuel filter and spark plugs. At night time you may see sparks jumping around the coil packs if they are having issues.

Could it possibly be a failing fuel pump / relay / wiring ? maybe try the direct wire mod to keep the pump running all the time as a test.

Hope u get it sorted

Hmmm engine check light really need to see what fault code the computers putting out could even be afm , to many variables.

[SNEEZYC34]

yeha well i got it checked and there was no fault code so who knows whats going on with it. im gonna have a sus of the plugs and leads. and try a different AFM and go from therre

Coil packs have given me probs in the past for sure

[SNEEZYC34]

yeah well last 2 days it has ran perfect lol.. im gonna take the coil packs out and sus this weekend. i work long hours 5 days a week so its hard to work omn cars after work =(

Sooo. I think I have finally fixed the issue.

I have swapped.afm and still does it. And when I scan it. It says code 12. Which is afm.

So I decided to xhexk the exu. Believe it or not whwn I moved the wires the car cut out. I thej checked codes and sayd 12 again. So afyer ages chexkinf wires the blue and brown wire seemes to be the issue. Looked like ir wasnt fully plugged in. Now when I move wires its fine. Funnny this is. Its thw same xolour as the wires in the adm in engine bay.

So fingers crossed its fixed
