    Long story short I`ve got a fuel consumption problem accompanied by 4 codes CTS voltage high low and unstable, Oxygen sensor no signal, and TPS
    stuck. I`ve been working on earthing points to fix it, I`ve found 3, the one above the battery on the inner gaurd, the one behind the passeger side head,
    and the one under the alternator.. I`ve soildered new connections on and cleaned the surfaces thoroughly but still the codes show, are there any more points? caan anybody help?....this has gone on long enough. :bang:

    If the codes show as those things being faulty it won't be an earth problem. Replace the coolant temp sensor, the O2 sensor and clean the TPS.

    Sorry, should have specified, I have replaced all these things tried other ECU`s two, and the codes remain.

    You haven't done a transmission conversion have you? I also notice that you have a Foamy memcal, it may be a glitch in the tune, it has been known to happen.

    i just fixed up my earthing problem, disconnected the battery, had a smoke connected it back up and checked codes again, they hadnt cleared. i removed the battery again, waited 10mins, (2 smokes) then connected and the codes had cleared.

    i guess im saying make sure the codes are clear and confirm they are :thumbsup:

    I have one that goes from the alternator to the body, always seems to come off. It just looks like braided line connected on the top of the alternator and bolts to the body just behind the airbox. Hope that helps.

    NAAF, I did not do a trans conversion, and it was happening before the tune, I am running the standard memcal ATM because when the modified memcal is in I chew fuel something to the tune of 150km/200km to a tank.

    ephect, did clear numorous times via EFILIVE the fuse and the battery two.

    xcopv-8 check and cleaned that one.

    Thanks for your input guys..anymore info.
