[My car box dose not work]

Can you share an image of the connecter you stick the paper clip because you can get adapters

Can you get adapters from that plug to OBD plug for the scanner I put the link above

Bit of speaker wire or thin split pin & list of fault codes is all you really need.

vn-vp have plug above

vr-vs have aldl above brake pedal...bridge pins 5 & 6

Ok guys not sure if you remember my thread ,but I finally put my new alternator in ,got rid of my parasitic draw and is charging well ,replaced IAC and throttle control sensors with new Delphi's ...yesterday I cleaned plugs up fired up first go and was awesome felt the idle adjust with new sensor was going awesome reving not backfiring was so happy ran for about 5 mins with little smoke minimal but it was still there ...this morning I checked just no 1 spark plug hoping to see that soot carbon **** gone but it wasn't
Started first go again and was progressively getting worse checked timing didn't adjust nothing just checked was at 10 deg only thing I done was after the first day I had it going sweet I disconnected battery and in the next morning didn't recalibrate IAC would that do that ? Starting to think it's rings hey fuel smells like fuel ...changed everything heartbroken

You shouldn't have to recalibrate the IAC after the initial calibration. If you have sooty plugs and bad rings you will be burning oil.

Could be really stale fuel.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about the sensor ,
It was a lil overfull with oil this morning so I took some out had fuel in it wreaked ...could having that shitty oil in it from last time do that ? Coz yesterday when I started it was a different car hey then just progressively got worse guessing plugs just got worse n worse ...has fresh 98 in it
No engine lights 02 sensors working got a new one
Only thing it could be is isolation from paint on the headers ? Maybe not giving a proper reading ...doing my head in

Least I guess if I do rings it rules it out ...

A set of wet and dry compression tests will tell you if it's rings. Is the temperature sensor that feeds the ECU working? If it's not the ECU can think the engine is cold and richen the mixture.

Not sure mate are you talking about coolant temp sensor?or air temp ? Both are new

I do have a compression tester but it's a real cheap one ...compression was up to **** just with that haven't done a leakdiwn test or anything and that wasn't with wet cylinders( like oil )
