| nodg, i have a series 1 vn. it has a rough idle and bogs under load. but when it gets up in the revs, goes like a cut cat :) i went to check the o2 sensor but i dont think it has one. i have found a plug bolted into the left side exhaust. is that where it goes? there is also an unused plug between the left guard and strut, so im guessing that is where it plugs in? it has a aeries 1 coil pack on it as well and have read that could be worth replacing. any thoughts? |

this is a good one, are you able to tell me the resistance values of the IAT sensor on the back of the manifold,
cant seem to find any info on the net |

take the one on the passenger side off...and buy a cap for the one on the drivers side but get the cap that doesn't have to over flow part on top. as for the pipping get rid of it

I have a prob thats either snow balled or something completely different. (makes sense)The TPS I mentioned the other day with the error code. I pulled it off and had to remove the throttle body to get at it. totalled the gasket trying to get it off replaced with a weetbix box. took tps off throttle body played with it for abit and decided visually ther was nothing wrong and maybe replace it any way. and put it back on until then. there was also some other do dad on on the throttle body it has a flat plug with 4 pins in it I took that out and gave it a clean and put it back I have also cleand a sh1t load of bunrt oil out of the conection on the throttle body that runs a line to the breather on the drivers side rocker cover. all back together I fire it up and it running @ 1500 Rpm and drops to 1000 to put it in to gear. I attempted resetting the ecu cleared the error codes and still the same. I have then let the throtte cable off a frag and turned the idle preset to close the butterfly off which dropped the rpms down to 700 in P and it stayed there when put in D or R. droveto stupid market and its running at 1500rpm in P again and idles in D@ 1000. How do I reset the kick down? and is there any thing else I can/Should do to fix it?
ATM its averaging 25L/100KM and its usually 17L/100KM |

Its not a kickdown problem, the other doodad you removed was the idle control motor which you may or may not of stuffed while cleaning it out, you could of made a tiny air leak when you made the new gasket also. Another cause may be that the tps isnt reading 0% at idle, on aftermarket tps's you need to wind the tps switch back to 0% before installiung it..
Go take it back off, make/buy another gasket if its not doing its job, try adjusting your new tps and see if that was the problem (was it aftermarket?) if not and problem still exists buy the proper gasket and use a TINY smear of sensor safe gasket goo, then replace the idle control motor.
Your fuel economy woes will be caused by either faulty sensors or unmaintained service parts.
Parts to replace-
Air Intake sensor (near injectors)
idle control motor
02 sensor
coolant temp sensor (behind water pump)
Oil & filter
air filter
Fuel filter
Plugs
Leads/dissy cap/rotor button
Injector cleaner
Once you do all the service items and replace the sensors/gasket reset the ecu again to re-calibrate to the correct values.

TPS is still the one that I was on there when I bought the car. there is a possibility (if its still goood) that I didnt set it to 0%. all I did with cleaning the idle control motor was scraped some baked sustance off with my finger nail.
I have an idea that its the gasket. on the shiny side. I cant see that it could give a satisfactory seal. (And the fact I neglected to clean the gasket surfaces of the burnt oil before installing. other then that in my opinion they just dont make weetbix boxes in the same way they used to when the old man taught me how to do it. Im going to find some gasket paper first.
I will get to the other things you mentioned Im having a bit of a cabbage problem. Im going to find a new job. |

definately replace the tps if its giving a code, they will always visually look good!!
Replace all of those sensors with GENUINE items with a major service and youll be ready to get the chip and realise what sort of economy you should be getting, ill go get a pic of mine to show what average speed/litres used is...
post up your average speed as well mate.. |

I drive sensibly most of the time with a good squirt here and there, my economy would be like yours if i was flat chat everywhere popping skids left right and centre.

ok I disconected and reconected my battery before I took it out tonight. I now have an avg speed of 67.9 and average of 14.7l/100KM.
yesterday with the 25L/ 100km was before I wound out that idle screw. and that was just a gentle drive to the supermarket
THe warm idle still worries me thought doesnt sound like its doing th trans any good going from P to D &R.
and still no error code for the TPS. Im only getting a code 12 now.

| Ok I have pulled everything apart again and cleaned a sh1t load of burnt oil out of the throttle body, butterfly no longer sticks but it seems that the springs that close it off agian are worn and leaving it open a fraction. Hot idle in p is 1500 in D its about 1200. cold is 1100 in p and about600 700 in D and I have reset the ecu about 5 times. how sensative are the idle control motors? |

did you change the idle set screw taking note how many turns you made and which way?? its ok to fiddle with it once everythings working right but in your situation its a bandaid fix and will ultimately be the wrong setting when you do get it running properly.
sensors are fragile, especially when there 17 years old, and even more if you have taken it out, mucked around with it and given it a spit and polish... better off replacing the t/b sensors to iron out the possibiity of other things (beside t/b gasket, which im guessing you made sure to change??) |

NODG! got your attention i hope, 2 questions for you...
1. According to my owners book my vn was bought on 23/2/89 so it would be a series 1? (from memory series 2 started in september 89?) i checked the fuel rails and coil pack but cant be sure it hasnt been changed around so goin by date atm lol
2. Want to convert from auto to manual, had the bits comin cos i saw them cheap but it all fell through, not my fault but thought id best get my facts right so i can be sure im after the right bits. Ive looked everywhere and keep gettin different answers so hopefully you can set me straight. If i am series 1 which im 99% sure of does that mean i need series 1 or 2 manual bits to get a snap snap fit?
cheers
edit. should probaly let you know what fills the front up lol....v6 |
Just be thankful you got two legs to stand on and hands to grab sh*t with! |

series 2 came out in very late 90 (i think) and in 91, series 1 was 88-later 90 so yous should be a series one unless the previous owner has changed the engine...check and see where the thermostat is. If its at the front of the manifold its a series 2 if its at the back under teh throtlle body its a series one.
as for the conversion......im not sure, nodge should be able to answer that for ya |
