I know there's 1 on each front wheel, are there some on the rear wheels too?
My problem is the ABS light randomly comes on. So bought a new one to replace the drivers side. But still appeared. So thought the old one must of been fine, and swapped the passenger sensor with the old driver sensor. Still appeared. So was just wondering if there's more...?
Yes save your self a lot of work if you check for fault codes, buying random sensors can cost a fortune, or a lot of play in a wheel bearing could do it, or a bad connection from ecu to sensor etc...dont think brake fluid would have anything to do with it...most likely cause is a sensor or reluctor ring that might be exposed to the elements and corroded or cracked...from Fred in Essex.
Funnily enough, the ABS light has since vanished after topping up the break fluid reservoir. Also got an OpCom. Tested it out, while idle for 5 minutes.
It does seem to stick on 451, but it does fluctuate. This was when I drove to the garage and set off again. Coolant temp says 91 degrees, so I'm guessing that's the main temp...
Well, in my quest of trying to figure out why the throttle stops responding, I managed to hold down the pedal while it was doing so, and it held steady at about 20mph, despite me pressing the throttle up and down. I have to fully release it and press down again for it come back to life.
Today I've changed the spark plugs, surprise, surprise, they're GM plugs. More evidence that it's never had a service before. Yet to test them. But looks promising. But this does not... more live data;
Pretty sure this is when it decides to die on me...
Couple of months. Bought it cheap from some guy who wanted rid. Came with no history, no nothing. Apart from a receipt the timing chain had been done, nothing to say the water pump was done at the same time either. Even has plastic clips underneath behind the side skirts which suggest they used to hold neon tubes. Ragged to almost death I reckon. Will look into getting another pedal soon next then.
I've had the TB off and given a good clean. There's an option with the OpCom to reset the learned values which you're meant to use if you've had it off, but only suggests it on certain engines. And the Twinport is not included in the list...
I couldn't even get the fuel filter off to replace! It was literally crumbling away in my hand. Another job for the garage. I should start my own repair thread, never mind build thread.
oil and filter change time, by the looks of it :thumbsup:
