Ok so this morning started the car and the cel came up!!! Checked the codes I have codes. P0320, p0235, p0805.

Code p0235 I assume I cause I have discovered the stock boost sensor so not fussed about that. But p0805 I can't find in the list as it stops at p0804 and p0320 is distributor/ignition malfunction. Should I be looking at the coil packs in relation to p0320? And anyone now what p0805 could be? Car seem to drive fine but I could be testing my luck driving it more if it's gonna do damage till I sort these out. So help a bro out gents. [emoji106]

Yeah using the flashing MIL to read the codes!! Noticed a bit of oily residue around the left side coilpacks last night I'll pull them out and check the wells and plugs in my day of.... It intermittently runs with a miss which I would say is due to this ignition code I'm getting. Sounds like a subie when it does! [emoji19]

It won't be the plug wells, mine were full of oil when I bought the car, and I didn't know about it for months, I only found it due to the oil burning on the turbo and shitting me.

I have a Stagea here atm with a similar problem, I unplug and plug the coils in and they work fine for a day. I suspect the connector has a bad contact, or the wiring is faulty but still to find the issue. Worst case I am about to fit an emanage, so I can replace the entire coil loom fairly easily, the plugs are not hard to find.

Intermittent problems can be hard sometimes.

Ok cheers Scott so I should look around the wiring loom for the coilpacks for any frayed connections or split wires and also maybe clean out the coilpack plugs with some contact cleaner? I'll find a shop that has a consult III to help track it down but I suspect it will come up with ignition coilpack fault still..[emoji19]

I hate trying to fix intermittent issues as it seems they always go into hiding when your trying to show the mechanic the issue ! [emoji21]

Cheers Dale I'll get it diagnosed it MRC and see what happens from there. Crank angle sensors are cheep on flebay!!

Have you slid underneath and whipped out the one next to the starter motor?

It's easily accessible (only need a 10mm spanner), and it might be worth giving it a clean; as they can built up ferrous metal particles on the sensing face.

Just disconnect it all together and see what happens.

The ecu goes to the backup cam sensors to make the motor run. Often you'll have a coughing hard to start car with the Crank plugged in, and it will start right up when it's unplugged.

And as Dale said, they attract metal, and start giving whack readings.

Who knows, we are all playing internet mechanic!

Not going to cost any money unplugging a sensor and taking it for a spin to see if the problem is there.

Otherwise, get the codes cleared, drive car a couple of days, get it scanned again to see what comes back.

Yeah internet mechanic sometime leave me more confused but it give me some insight from you blokes that are a lot more knowledgable than me in this field. I'll take a crake at your suggestions and see how it goes! I tried to clear the codes but they won't seem to clear as they normally have buy performing the cel check sequence and then hold for 10 second to clear they just stay there this time. But guess I need them cleared via the consult for these codes

Nm35 Error code p1320.....

Anyone had this code come up before? Seems to be related to ignition signal or crank position sensor.

Going to check all cool packs tomorrow. But if anyone else has any experience diagnosing this code your help would be appreciated.

Yea just recently fixed the same issue 2 weeks ago. Depending on it the cars showing an issue makes it easier to diagnose (mine was running rough) so i started checking resistances of coilpacks and found no 4 stuffed. But your right it can be the crank angle or a few other things... Unfortunately just have to start testing things with a multimeter...

Seems to just relate to a stuffed coil, no idea why you would suspect the crank sensor. This is why fault finding without the consult is hit and miss sometimes.

Try measuring the primary coil resistance, the ecu is seeing one is shorting or open circuit.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
