![]() Engine turns over but does not fire.byI am currently unable to start my Renault 19 16V P2,L Reg, '93, 1764 (Multipoint with Cat). The engine turns over but it does not even attempt to start. I presume this is as no fuel is being supplied. We have bridged the relays in the auxilary fuse box and the fuel pump still works. After some testing I have a few questions that maybe someone could clear up? There are two brown light brown relays side by side in the auxilary fuse box. What are they? Next to the auxilary fusebox, towards the radiator there is a 4 pin component contained within a black plastic case, with pin numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 (blank). It is bolted to the inner wing by one screw. what is it, what does it do? There is no sign of this 4 pin component on the circuit diagram in the Haynes manual. When the car is switched off this part makes a buzzing noise, but if the second of the two light brown relays is removed (the one nearer the radiator) the buzzing stops. Any idea why? I noticed there was a previous string about ECU problems, but I am not sure if this is related? Any ideas would be greatfully recieved. Regards Jonathan Lee |
![]() i got similar prob...by jimboyesterday i went out to start mine. it cranked for a bit then started although briefly to about 500rpm. then it just stopped. having been able to start it since. although when cranking i can hear ticking sound , sounds like a spark is arcing somewhere. jimbo |
![]() Your engine probby AlThe relay that is bolted onto the wing is for your aux waterpump (the buzzing when you turn your engine off). I cant remember what the two brown ones are for but i think one is fuel pump and the other switches your ecu on. Are you getting a spark? If not you could have an ECU problem. I had similar problems and in the end it was the switch WIRE for the ECU. It runs underneath the Rad and is exposed so it corrodes. Hope this helps. |
![]() R19 16v Starting Problemsby MikeI have had similar problems on my phase 1. But i have noticed that water leaks through the bonnet vent, dribbling through onto the HT leads. Pull the first ht lead off the plug and check that there is no water residue in the hole. You probabley have checked this already. My water pump also runs when the engine is off. |
![]() RelaysbyThe two brown coloured relays are the fuel pump relays 1 and 2. The one attached to the wing is the auxilary water pump relay/timer. |
![]() Engine turns overs but won't start - Replyby Jonathan LeeThanks for all the suggestions, I'll be doing some tests at the weekend, and will probably be trowling round the breakers for some parts. I see there is some differences in what people think the relays do though. Will the Renault dealers give a definitive answer? Cheers Jonathan. |
![]() Bad starting phase 1bydoes anyone out there know whats up with my renault.. the car when cold starts and runs fine....when hot though restarting is a nightmare and the starter seems particularly slow, also if the car is stalled it will not start either. I have cleaned up all the earth points, new starter, crank shaft sensor, and coolant sender, and dizzy. Im at real loss, when i first bought the car the anti percolation pump used to run all the time when the igntion was turned off, i disconnected this due to the lack of info on fault finding on why it was doing it. Ive seen another car with the same prob....is this common...please help!! |
![]() Bad Startingby AlGet your Aux water pump going. This will stop your fuel evaporating in the fuel rail when you turn your engine off. This wil be your problem. |
![]() Please help...byHi fellas, over the weekend, me and my Dad fitted a new passenger side coil spring to pass the MOT, after re-fitting the wheel, I noticed that my fuel computer had lost it's back lit display, you can still see the numbers, only really feint, is there an earth around the passenger side wheel, or will it just be a bulb or a fuse? Any help much appreciated. Mart. |
![]() Fuel!!byFirst of all thanks for your help. On the other hand My tank fills up at 13.4g. At the moment I have done 90m and the indication on the computer is at 7.8. I have not calculated exactly but I think that I get get around 200-220m which is very low with a car not modified. Have you got any ideas what might be wrong. Please let me know cause I am spending too much money on petrol. Thanks, Stathis |
![]() it sounds as though...by jimboyour car is running rich, so check the air filter. if its clogged with crap then change it. also get a lambda sensor test done as yours could be buggered. the lambda sensor measures the o2 reading in the exhaust gases and tells the ecu to run lean or rich. jimbo |
![]() How much .....byThanks for your help. I am taking the car tomorrow in a Renault garge to replace the filter. How much do you thing this will reduce the fuel consumption? Also I am going to take this lambdra test you said. Cheers. |
![]() i'm not too sure...by jimbothat a clogged airfilter would cause a huge amount in the reduction in mpg. i would say it more likely to be a knackered lambda sensor. if it is knackered don't buy one from reno, there about £260. go to a bosch dealer and buy one for £60. same one, it just hasn't got reno written on it! jimbo p.s. do you experince dodgy idling problems as well, as this is a tell tale sign of a buggered lambda sensor? |
![]() Idling Problems...by StathisI have not noticed any idling problems except yesterday my reno had some difficulties in starting the engine. I do not think this is related to the sensor. Anyway thanks for your help. I will let you know tomorrow what's the problem since I am taking it to a garage. Thanks a lot. |
![]() Trip computer...byHi fellas, over the weekend, me and my Dad fitted a new passenger side coil spring to pass the MOT, after re-fitting the wheel, I noticed that my fuel computer had lost it's back lit display, you can still see the numbers, only really feint, is there an earth around the passenger side wheel, or will it just be a bulb or a fuse? Any hellp much appreciated. Mart. |
![]() trip computerbyDoes the clock illuminate? if not try the radio fuse |
![]() Rattles when cold on Startupby RTMy 92 16v rattles like a pig when starting from cold when been left than for more than 4/5 hrs. Its ok when been running for a few minutes or when engine is warm and re-started. Got a feeling could be oil not reaching somewhere important like bearings or tappets until up to temp. The oil/filter was changed at Reno garage recently but still the same. One tappet is ticking also when engine is fully warmed up/ Any ideas on what this rattling is and how to cure it? Cheers |
![]() i get the same...by jimboproblems as you. it starts and there's loud tapping sounds from the engine. on mine even when fully warm it still ticks. try different oils and oil additives. it might help it might not. also give the engine a good flush with engine flush. gets rid of all the crap around the tappets and oil galleries. jimbo |
![]() thing is......by rtThe car never used to make this noise. Wonder if cold weather is affecting it, someone mentioned a dry sump on these cars, could be something to do with that?. Either way sure somethign isn't right, I have a spare cylinder head which could be put on might investigate costs and stuff. Do any other posters have a view on nosises when cold, sure it shouldn't sound like this it's like a deisel!., when cold other wise sounds like beast : ) |
![]() yepby ricmine sounds like a diesel when its cold too. Sounds bloody awful till you heat it up. |
![]() cold startbyhi i've been looking formy electric connevtor for my cold start on my 19 16v 1991 , i can visual the injector , but there's no connector ? |
![]() lambarda sensorbycan any tell me were the lambarda sensor is located i've tried the hayes and still can't find it , cold start problems |
![]() Lambda SensorbyIt is located just before the cat, on the down pipe of the exhaust. |
![]() nice onebythanks keith |
![]() Cold StartingbyI've got a crackin L reg '93 Phase 2 16V. We've been blissfull happy for the last 4 years but recently cold starting has been a problem! After she's heated up (even a little bit) no problems at all, but that first start of the day she's very reluctant to fire up. Dist cap & rotor arm were changed at the last service (2 mths ago)and I put new HT leads on a fortnight ago. Battery and alternator are both fine and starter spins OK....just won't catch and when she finally does I have to nurse her until it sounds like she's running on all 4 cylinders and the idle behaves itself. Has anyone had similar problems or an ideas on what to try next ??????? Stew. |
![]() Cold Startingby RobSame happened to mine, changed leads plugs etc. still no joy. Someone told me could be the throttle body/pot, try cleaning it. Worked for me. |
![]() check and cleanbyeverything on intake, including injectors and manifold. Check lambda sensor. A knackered lamnda sensor can fail when cold first the will fail in hot too so thats a easy one. Did anyone touch the throttle potentiometer on your cars? |
![]() Cold StartingbyCould be temp. sensor or cold start injector. |
![]() How many miles?byI was just wondering how many miles can I do with a full tank! I spend quite a lot of money and I would like to compare with you standards. My Renault 19 16V Chamade is not modified but I speed quite a lot. Please let me know comparing with your measurements. Cheers. |
![]() Here ya go...by Paul MurdochOkay full tank is norm 12.3gallons!! (for me) I get about 21mpg but I have a fucked fuel pump and 2 wheels bearings this all adds to high fuel consuption plus I have a full mongoose de cat pipe/K&N airfilter and 17's plus I very high need for speed!! I get from a full tank norm 260miles!! So you should prob be getting 300!! I do drive very fast and down the dualcarriage way at about 120 so you should get more!! |
![]() 492 miles!!by jimboi can get 492 miles out of a tank if driving conservatively. that's at 40mpg. quite hard to achieve, but possible. jimbo |
![]() damn..byI've never seen MPG that good out of mine.. I get about 28Mpg if I drive conservatively (70-90MPH constant speed, no traffic jams, long journey).. So that's about 330miles from a tank.. |
![]() on a 60mile...by jimbotrip to cardiff i managed 42mpg at a constant (well sort of) 70mph. although do remember, that to get an accurate reading you have to reset the trip before the journey otherwise nothing happens to the mpg. jimbo p.s. on average i get about 35-38mpg at about 80-90mph. |
![]() Water Probs.by James IrwinNew head-gasket about 5,000 miles ago. Car going great. Next thing, Rusty water all over driveway. Oh Shit! - The jubillee clip holding the pipe leading from the expansion tank to the baulk head had came off. Got it tightened and refilled, happy days. 2 months later ...... Checked water level yesterday, resting on the MIN sign. Where did the water go? The engine had just had a full valet, 10 days ago, so I would have seen the rusty water marks somewhere in the engine bay. Refilled, level still fine, day 3. Any ideas ? |
![]() leaksbycheck for common leak sources like hoses, connections, tank cap, and is IMPERATIVE you should begin to use some good quality coolant to stop the rust in cooling system, remember that our engines are aluminum ones and that needs to be well mantained, if not you will have overheating/matrix/kaput problems. |
![]() Leaksby James IrwinThere are no leaks as far as I can see. I'm using the coolant that the Renault dealers put in, when serviced. (Every 6,000 miles) Is this not good enough ? Are there any other possibilities where the water could have gone ? |
![]() Phase II alloys wantedbyHas anyone got any 19 16V phase II alloys for sale ? They must be very good condition. |
![]() phase 2 wheels coming off my car soonbyim removing my phase 2 wheels for another set of phase 2 that i have had renovated to original if you are interested? paul |
![]() How much should I askby GeeBeeI'm thinking of selling (sob sob) my Reb 19. Any ideas on what I should ask. 95 M reg 3 owners 19 16v Exec 5 door Full leather interior 75k Full service history - recent cambelt change Full MOT 2 x new front tyres Blue (of course) Bodywork in excellent condition - 1 minor rust spot on the bootlid. All standard Sony headunit & 10 disc autochanger in boot |
![]() £50, then i'll take it haha... try around the £3300 mark...by Paul Murdochmaybe more, but people like em not so standard means they look sweet the old thing of looks sweet been killed is dying people are realising looks sweet cared for underneath... so try £3300 or more!! Reno's are selling at the moment!! |
![]() WTFby RobbieI think you should lay off the drink Paul! If you're trying to say the car is worth more becuase it is standard looking then I'd agree with you. |
![]() Depending on the buyer then yes...by Paul MurdochSome people only buy a car if its standard others only if its modded, but the new way of looking at cars is okay it looks nice enough, but has it been looked after well, cleaned properly bla bla, sorry about earlyer msg, was having a really BAD day, nearly walked out on my job, long story cut short!! But he should be asking around that price anyhow just because the reno market it picking up and people want reno's and especially youngsters wanting 5 / 19's cause they look smart modded/unmodded... But people tend to favour still like you say towards a standard car/but more and more are coming out the factory already modded hence the old boy racer thing going out the window!! But one thing that knocks 1000 off the price is gay stickers all over the motor ie, kenwood/sony and shit!! and a MAX POWER sticker on the rear window knocks 1500 off, but halford baby on board stickers will add a nice 500, they've got a baby can't drive fast bullshit people fall for everyday!! Anyhow nuff said okay less jibberish shit from me |
![]() Paulby RobbieI thought something might be wrong 'cos your messages are normally quite coherent. Totally agree with you on the stickers tho'. |
![]() butby roOsdithis is coming from a guy (paul) with a huuuuuuge Motorsport sticker on windscreen...... Ian |
![]() ERRRRRRRRR.....by Paul MurdochI no longer have that sticker on my windscreen thanks, and shall be placing a hill power one on there for summer later on this year!! SO GO FARK YA SEL I must admit I should never had done it but, we all must learn at a price |
![]() indeedby roOsdiI was only pulling ya plonker. Some people are so easy to wind up... Ian |
![]() What is this jibberish???by Anonymous?????? |
![]() HG questionbyhad a new head gasket job done about 1k miles ago. Ive heard your supposed to get the head bolts tightened after a while but they never said anything to me about this. Whats the deal here then????? cheers si |
![]() head boltsbyThere is no requirement to retighten the cylinder head bolts on the F-type engine, So the Haynes manual says. |
![]() Wheelsby ROBDon't suppose anyones got any of the centre caps for the 16V phase II wheels? (15inch) just one may do. |
![]() renault 5by rorysomebody drove into my mums absolutely mint 1993 renault 5 campus. insurance are paying up but she gets to keep the car. any body know anyone who may want to buy the wreck 4 the mint interior or 37k 1.4 engine. maybe to tart up an older 5. may go for salvage but been looking for a private buyer on the net. any help as i know i can always rely on you lot. (front driver wing and door damage, white) rory |
![]() Help Pleaseby Bryan GloverMy father in law owns a Renault 19 16v on a 'H' PLate. It is alot of fun most of the time but there is a problem !! Water seems to build up ( in the sparks plug recesses until it literally drowns the plugs causing extreme 'lumpiness' and then cuts out until we dry it out . Several weeks pass between bouts of the problem and it seems impossible that water is getting in from the outside or from the engine cooling system. Could it be condensation ? Have any of you had a similar problem ? Is there a solution ?? Yours Lumpy of Lincolnbshire |
![]() itsby roOsdicoming from the vent, seal it up with silicone Ian |
![]() Water in wellsby Lee MIt could be coming in from outside via the vent on the bonnet...........but if it is building up quite a lot it is more than likely to be the core plugs leaking from the block. It happened to mine once and cost me about £80 to be sorted at renault, make sure they replace you rocker gasket properly (with a suitable sealant). To check look at the colour of the water bluy-green is coolant, clear is water.... Hope this helps Lee |
![]() WaterbyI had the same problem with my car. I got nem seals fpr the spark plugs, and made up a plate to cover the top of the engine, which I clamped to the strut brace. Never had a problem since. |
![]() ABS, brakes and gearboxbyI understand that the ABS pump runs every time you press the pedal. But how loud is the pump when its running. Mine just seems to be very loud. Also can I change the brake pipes, pump if faulty, calipers or bleed the system. The haynes manual just says take it to the dealer. Finally has anyone changed the gearbox with the engine still in the car on an engine with an aluminium sump, again the manual states you have to remove the engine. |
![]() yesbyYou can change the gearbox with the engine in place. I have done it 3 times. Its tight but possible. |
![]() thanksbyThanks for the reply, You have saved me a lot of work removing the engine as well, I will give it a go. Any idea's on my other problems. |
![]() help!! got a dodgy enginebymy r19 16v (its a phase 1 j reg)has suddenly lost all power ie no excelleration and it struggles up the slightest of hills, it now only does about 20mpg there is a lot of smoke out the back and a strong smell of petrol so presume its started to run very rich and the idle is jumping from 1200 to around 2000 at tick over. Any suggestions greatly recieved |
![]() where can i get the parts?byguys i've only got a standard 19 l reg because the insurance companies laughed at me when i said i was getting a 16v. So i bought a peco dtm and have got some fat wheels, now all i need is the body parts! Does any one know where i can get them from? james, surrey |
![]() HAHAHAHA... We've got a PECO DTM owner hereby Paul MurdochBROOM BROOM GOES THE CHEEP EXHAUST!! Don't tell me you have some nice FAT 15" FOX 5's from halfords with some go faster stripes to match... Only joking mate, your best bet for a smart body kit go to prima racing find there number in max power/fast car... (next to the PECO shop ;-)) Think its cause the F2 or something like that, also try the scrappy for the rear bumper/skirts this is cause the fronts all ways smashed |
![]() REPLYby paUL BEDDSTRY automobiles.hypermart.net they are shit hot for parts and own breakers yards in france . The owner will import for you used parts |
![]() Waterpump-RelaybyI have a renault 19 16v (1991). The problem is that the battery is going flat. The waterpump does not switch itself off. I have been told that it is the relay for the waterpump, i have tried ordering a relay for the pump yet every dealer (including Renault dealers) i have rang have told me that there is no relay for the waterpump. I would be very grateful if anybody can tell me where i can find one. Cheers Paul |
![]() If its causing you that much shit...by Paul MurdochPull the bloody fuse out the fuse box... But there is a relay but only on the AUX water pump, I have not this problem cause I pulled the bloody thing off and fitted a pipe instead much better I'll tell ya Not sure if this helps but it might!! |
![]() relayby Jon ConnollyDo what I did. Just take the relay off and take it to any shitty second hand parts dealer. They`ll probably have a load of relays and can find a match with yours - might cost you a tenner. I changed mine and even though the pump appears to still be running my battery doesn`t drain anymore. Jon |
![]() Relay/TimerbyThe relay in question is located under the bonnet on left wing beside the headlight. Just plug it out until you can get a replacement. I will see if I can get a renault part number for it. The electric water pump should stay on any longer than 15mins. If it is still running after this time then the relay/timer is at fault. |
![]() any one want a hyundai pony for 100 nickerby Frank Butcheri got a lovely little number on my car lot my boy and im not talking about pat evans. hyundai pony 3.2 litre turbo charged with a kenwood sticker and harness pads its a real corker my son £100 ono contact deals on wheels albert square walford. p.s pat sucks good |

![]() power drainby GordonCan anyone help me when I turn on my rear window heater it drains loads of power out of my battery ive looked for any loose wires that mite be earthing out but couldnt find any thing wrong so please help oh yea the cars a ph 2 19 16v chamade |
![]() Battery DrainbyWhat condition is the battery in. What voltage is across the battery terminals when the engine is running at about 2000rpm. What makes you say it is the rear window heater, what does it do. What are the symptoms. |
![]() rear window heaterby gordonwell what happens when i turn on the rear window heater is that the lights lose a lot of power when the car is ticking over when the revs go past about 2000 the lights pick up again |
![]() Chance's are...by Paul Murdochthat A, your battry has gone flat and will never hold a charge any more B, Your alternator isn't charging battery enough (worn out) C, You've got a bloody big window (haha sorry could't help it) D, the problem I had, that the alternator and fan belt were not touching truely, so I replaced my belt and now its a treat |
![]() Steamy Windowsby RobbieI think Paul's dead right with that. People may not realise but the heated rear window draws a big current. Make sure you always turn it off after the window has demisted. |
![]() And turn downby Mark BYour ICE! My lights dim when the ice is on! |
![]() NormalbyThat,s about normal. The altenator isn,t turning fast enough to produce full output. Check the voltage across the terminals at idle and at about 1500rpm. |
![]() discbyare the abs sensor teeth cogs seperate to the disc themselves. so will the non 16v disc be ok a.s.a.p |
![]() Untitledby Christos DYes they are seperate. |
![]() Cold Car!byThe temp guage on my ph2 16v convertible hardly moves when the car is moving at speed and the heater doesnt work, however when th car is stationary the guage will be in between the first mark and the second mark, then the heater will start to blow out warm(not hot) air..... a garage has said my matrix has gone.is this so? or is there something i can do to get some heat into my cockpit coz its bloody freezing!!!!

![]() Air filter straight on Throttle body ???? looking for a final answerby Lee MI have been told various placements for an induction filter in a 19 16v. Chris trick (further up the forum) shows some photos including a smaller filter in the air intake valve which he said came in a JR filter kit. Is the filter best straight on the throttle housing with good cold air ducting or on the end of the existing pipe????? Has anybody also got one of these kits, as I have been told that for the smaller filter removing the exisiting pipes and putting this smaller filter on will make the car run really bad!!!I would appreciate your help on this matter. If it makes it go better it will be done!!! Thanks for the help Cheers people Lee |
![]() gawdby Dave RefaultYou want to keep the filter as far away from the block as possible. There. |
![]() JR Induction KitbyI have this kit on my 16v. The closer the filter to the trottle body the better. The air gets in faster, less restrictions for the air, ie.bends. The smaller filter on the end of the idle speed control valve does not make the car idle roughly. The Jetex filter makes a nicer induction roar than the K&N kit. I've had this kit on my last car and had no problems, just great sound. |
![]() Yeah andby Dave RefaultThe block nicely heats up the air around the filter, yeah really for combustion that............ |
![]() ButbyThat small filter that is near the block is only used for the idle speed, and it doesn't make the idle rough on mine. The time you really need cold air is at engine speeds above idle,ie.acceleration. The air then comes from the main filter at the trottle body. The K&N filter comes with some tubing to supply cold air directly to the filter. You can use the original piping from the air box. |
![]() Coils...byI had my MOT the other day, sailed through apart from the coil spring on my front left suspension, which was cracked TWICE. Anyone know any rough prices, and how much for fittig? Any help much appreciated. Mart. |
![]() Same story.....bySame thing happened to me... coil spring snapped... Halfords want £115 (+ vat + fitting) EACH... didn't bother with Renault (bound to be expensive)... instead bought some lowering springs (£50 the set) and got them on... luvvly jubbly. Tezza. |
![]() Suspensionby GeoffWhen I went to Kwik Fit to get the tracking done, they noticed that my car was sitting lower than it should - turned out to be 2 knackered shocks and each spring was cracked twice. Cost me £150 for the 2 shocks fitted then the garage charged me £60 for the set of new springs as they already had the old ones off so no labour. Cheers Geoff |
![]() WheelsbyHey Guys, Long time, no see (Or read, whateva) does anyone know of a website where i can get some wheels. Im looking at the league 037's or the 088's Cheers guys StEvE |
![]() Boxhill Meet -3rd Feb-by Dave RefaultThere will be all makes of performance cars. It has been arranged for Saturday 3rd Feb. The meet is at the cafe at the bottom of the hill as you head into Dorking on the A24. Come off the M25 at junction 9 and follow signs for the A24 towards Dorking. At the petrol station (might be a Texaco) turn left to continue towards Dorking on the A24 and after about 2 miles you come to some dual carriageway. The cafe is a little way after the start of this dual carriageway. If you miss the first turning you can continue to the roundabout, turn left, travel a small way up the hill and the main entrance is on your left. The event starts at Box Hill at about 2.00pm. Would be nice to see some so of you guys there. I'll be there in my 200sx, and my old R19 16V will be there as well! It'll be good to see the ol' 175odd bhp beastie again! Cheers Dave |
![]() dave, what mods did...by jimboyou do to yor valver then to get 170bhp, and how much did it all cost. jimbo |
![]() Ahh!by Dave RefaultCome down Boxhill and you can see it for yourself! And before any decide "thats aload of bollox" It was dyno'd TWICE. Suffice to say it cost about 3 grand and includes cams/pulleys chips blah bleeding blah. Bloody expensive modding Normally Aspriated cars, my 200sx is much much cheaper to mod! So any of you lot gonna move your asses down to Boxhill? |
![]() 3kby Dave RefaultThat was for the lot, wheels brakes fooking everything. |
![]() Meet upby Paul MurdochWould have come but work out the bill to just get there and back and thats 2hours driving and £50 plus food of course Maybe next time mate |
![]() tappetsbyHowdy I have a 94 p2 - its a little noisy in the morning for a minute or two . I am wondering about Magnatec / Slick 50? - which will I use - will it help?? - I use a semi at the moment - duckhams qxr - which seems OK - or should i move to full synthetic? Tnx Dave |
![]() Tappetsby Christos DI use both (Magnatec for advanced engines and Slick 50) and in the morning they are still a bit noisy for a couple of minutes, but they definitely improved things. Christos D |
![]() Just for your info.by Chri§The tappets will always appear noiser on these cars when there first started. This is because they are hydraulic self adjusting tappets and need time to settle... Chri§ |
![]() or it could be like mine...by jimbowhere it takes about 10mins or more to get them quiet, even then they're still a bit noisy. slick 50 is pretty good, keeps the oil clean for ages. i use 10w40 stuff, which works fine, don't use anyhting thinner though, cause it's like water when hot. jimbo |
![]() anybody know how long...by jimboit takes to change all three engine mounts, as i've been quoted today 4.5hrs (which seems a very long time). jimbo |
![]() Engine mountby Christos DI just did mine. The gearbox one is very easy (approx 1/2 hour), the off-side one requires the alternator/steering pump bracket removed to reach the bolts (approx 1 hour), the rear one is even a bigger pain to remove. I had to drop the subframe to reach it (1-2 hours). The funny thing is that the engine still seems loose to me. Hope it helps Christos D. |
![]() Idle speed.by DanAny body got any problems with the idle speed on the R19-16V especially when the engine is cold. Been told it might be the throttle pot. Also any body selling decent 17? |

![]() Iddle speedby Christos DMine did the same thing twice when cold (dropping at 500-600 rpm) but it stopped! Maybe a good clean of the throttle body might be beneficial! |
![]() Rough IdlebyMine used to drop to 500 or 600rpm then shoot back up to 1200rpm and then back to idle{1000rpm}. It would do this when cold for about 10mins. Turned out to be Lambda sensor. |

![]() 6Core 10mm Race & Rally Ignition LeadsbyThe MultiPower 6* - 6Core 10mm Ignition Leads for Race & Rally have 6 cores of the best conductors known to the motoring industry - Carbon & Optical Fibre with Wire wound round each of the 6 conductors encompassing the complete 'core'. Insulation is in the form of Re-inforced Silicone capable of withstanding extreme temperatures produced from the most highly aspirated engines. Our 6Core 10mm Ignition Leads carry 15 times more current than OE Leads and between 4-6 times more than 'performance' sets. But where is the need for this? Pointblank Trading’s 6Core 10mm Ignition Leads enable your engine to perform to its maximum capabilities, thus ensuring you get the very best drive, each time. Website http://www.pointblanktrading.co.uk (If you do not already have FlashPlayer, Download it FREE from our site in order to proceed with correct viewing) Emission regulations are here to stay. Most of the world is faced with all types of vehicular tests to ensure strict control measures. Thus, with all these rules, finding legal performance upgrades can be a very difficult thing. One of the cornerstones of improved performance is a clean running, crisply tuned engine. A more complete combustion of the air/fuel mixture is one of the easiest tuning tricks that can be employed to extract the maximum horsepower an engine is capable of producing. Providing the air/fuel mixture with a hotter, more intense spark best attains improved combustion; the hotter the spark will burn more of the mixture, with means more power produced within the cylinder. Not only does a hotter ignition of the air/fuel mixture produce more power at the drive wheels, but it usually increases the economy of the engine, as less fuel is wasted through the exhaust stroke. For the most part, this means tail pipe emissions are reduced. This sounds great, doesn't it? Improved performance and better emissions. Is there a catch? Not really. A hotter spark can be added in a variety of ways: plugs, ignition leads, coil and aftermarket ignition systems. There are many aftermarket ignition leads available, with each company offering many variations in insulation, thickness, current and colour. After-market conventional and ‘high-performance’ ignition leads, all try to get a more intense and ‘pure’ spark to enable the air and fuel mixture to ignite. In our case, this is attained through the Carbon & Optical Fibre that runs through the middle of the ignition lead (X6). Currently, our 6Core Ignition Leads are used in Group 'N' Porsche and BMW M Power Racing in the UK. Other performance tuners include: Dialynx - VW Audi Quattro Sport 'RR' Tuners DP Motorsport - Nissan Pulsar GTiR, Toyota Supra/MR2 and Porsche Modifiers HiTEQ Performance - Pulsar GTiR & Skyline GT-R Tuners and Modifiers Moseley Motorsport - BMW MPower Race Tuning Specialists TOM FERGUSON - Porsche Race Tuning Specialists Bexley Motor Works – Independent BMW Specialists AH2000 – BMW E30 Parts Suppliers And so on. We manufacture for most applications, even special 1 off projects. http://www.pointblanktrading.co.uk |

![]() 2 questions?by Paul MurdochHow long do they last? IS there really any gains? £130 hmm... I am tempted cause I do need some |
![]() 6Core 10mm Race & Rally HT Leadsby1. These 6Core Leads come with a lifetime warranty 2. Are there any gains?.....Read below, then ask again if you need to!! We are all after the Performance ‘Holy Grail’ of products to get the MAX from our cars and we seem to go through great lengths to get it…be it pain, sweat, working extra long hours, taking loadsa extra shit from the boss at work etc. What we all seem to forget about performance tuning is what is at the forefront of any tuning – air/fuel & spark ratio. Getting these 100% is what we are always after. In fact all performance tuners, rally mechanics, group N tuners etc are all after the perfect ‘mixture’. Why? The problem these days is that so many of us seem to forget the simplest things in life in striving for the bigger and better products out there. Tell me, how well you think a Skyline GT-R with 900Bhp will perform on 185/70/14 SR tyres?? Welcome The MultiPower 6* - 6Core 10mm Ignition Leads for Race & Rally have 6 cores of the best conductors known to the motoring industry - Carbon & Optical Fibre with Wire wound round each of the 6 conductors encompassing the complete 'core'. Insulation is in the form of Re-enforced Silicone capable of withstanding extreme temperatures produced from the most highly aspirated engines. Website http://www.pointblanktrading.co.uk (If you do not already have FlashPlayer, Download it FREE from our site in order to proceed with correct viewing) The currently available HT Leads on the market are either single or dual cores compared to the 6 cores that we produce. Many tests have significantly proved time and time again that our 6Core Ignition Leads carry up to 15 times the current of OE equipment and between 4-6 times more than the most popular 'performance' brands available today. With this in mind, our prices are very competitive in that they are very favourable to the customers of 8/16V and Turbo charged engines. How? Well, we do not differentiate in prices. The caps used differentiate in prices to a negligible amount, thus we keep those costs to ourselves not passing them to our customers. Our current Performance Tuning distributors in the UK include: Moseley Motorsport - BMW M3 Race Specialists Dubsport - VW Tuners and Modifiers Bexley Auto Works – Independent BMW Specialists Dialynx - VW Audi Quattro Race Tuners SMP Motorsport - Renault Race Tuning TOM FERGUSON - Porsche Race Specialists DP Motorsport - Nissan, Toyota and Porsche Race Tuners HiTEQ Performance - NISMO GTiR & Skyline GT-R Modifiers If the ‘Big Boys’ are using them, why aren’t you… Magazine's that have/will be featuring the 6Core HT Leads include: Redline, FastCar, MAX Power, Performance VW/FORD/BMW, BMW Car, Fast Ford, BMW, EVO, Stuff Magazine and so on. www.pointblanktrading.co.uk Check it out!! |
