Mark@Abbey m/s Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 They do have numbers on each lead 1,3 and 5 drivers side 2,4 and 6 on the passengers side. But seen it done loads of times even by a Nissan Dealer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironhide Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I reset the ECU earlier with the pedal dance BUT after coming back from a 15 min trip, I noticed that the CEL light has come back on. The car feels fine but I wonder if it's got anything to do with my car being decatted ? (I only mention this as Jez said it may come on after they did some work for me - although he said that would happen a few mins down the road) If the CEL came back on it will give you a code via a series of flashes. Find the code and it'll tell what's wrong, as you suggested might be the decats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARMLU Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Oil on threads isnt anything to worry about imho. The plugs are very worn thou typical 350Z. Oil on threads as seen on pics is fine. But for reference when I did my plugs, one plug came out dripping with oil. This was due to a broken coil pack head (it was able to twist). It was still driveable like this with no detriment to performance, but knowing it was there made me just pop a new coil pack on (£30 off amazon). Glad you got your problem solved in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 If the CEL came back on it will give you a code via a series of flashes. Find the code and it'll tell what's wrong, as you suggested might be the decats. I took a quick video, I'll upload it when I get to work. I also bought a diagnostic tool from Amazon that should be here tomorrow (although I've no idea where it hooks up to the car yet ). Can you post the picture that Mark@Abbey sent you, just to help anyone else out in the future if you think it's useful? It's on post #18 Basically I knew that I had the cables for 4,6 the wrong way around after seeing that photo, as when you look at it, it would seem the end one would go to 6 but it's actually for 4.

cs2000 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The ODB2 port is in the drivers footwell, On the plastics, kind-of in line with the accelerator pedal. Stick your head down there and you will see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Look at post #18 , I have uploaded the picture onto this thread yesterday. So everything is all okay now except the CEL coming up? Get us the code or I can meet you 1 night to pull the code for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hey guys, I've uploaded the video here - if you can't download it for some reason, please let me know: (I promise it's not dodgy :wink: ) http://www.wetransfe...15102854/d63b63 Many thanks again Mark, if the video above doesn't quite work out, I'll hopefully have a code from the diagnostic tool when it arrives. At least I'm learning, when I first popped the bonnet open I was terrified by what I saw (coming from an MR2) but now after getting a little 'hands on' I'm embracing it, if at a retarded pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being kept up-to-date on it's restoration Anyone else get P1147 and P0139? I've got to find the post to help read the code from the flashes, and I'll see what I can see as well.

Ekona Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I wasn't sure either, and tbh it's been a fair while since I read a code that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It was a mk2, rev 3. Gone to Belgium to a serious Toyota enthusiast.

RobPhoboS Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Cheers for that The diagnostic tool arrived this morning, so I shall hook it up and report it's finding. I suspect it's just the decat's. I presume I can clear it if that's the case ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price I'd say we could possibly see a lot of people on here buying one.

Hmmm does it work with the 70? just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
