This post is hopefully not similar to any others! None have helped me so far unfortunately.
Problem
Problem
- Car has trouble starting after not being run for a while (maybe flooded?). Cranks for 12-15 seconds before turning over. On the occasion it feels like it might even stall! Plus, today for the first time, it stalled on attempt to start. After running for a bit, and turning it off and on again, it starts immediately!
- Once started, idle is a little rough! It sits at around 590-600 which by my understanding is a bit too low. I can feel the idle "roughness" as a bit of a shake through the driver's seat every now and then (once every 2 seconds?). Not a full misfire or anything.
- LTFT is all over the place. Sometimes 0%, sometimes -5%.
- One of the serpentine pulley has a small squeak? I will fix soon, but surely that's not related right?
- My attitude. I'm completely over it. I just want my VZ to work, and run properly.
- New ECU: solved running issues caused by dodgy ECU.
- New coil packs: fixed 2 dodgy coil packs.
- New Spark Plugs (standard service)
- 9 x New Injectors: Original 6 injectors replaced due to suspected blockage, lead to engine flooding in one bank (-15% LTFT on B1). Replaced All of Bank 1 with 3x New-New Injectors which solved engine flooding.
- New Engine Mounts
- New Front Suspension Bushings
- New Fuel Filter
- New Tail shaft centre bearing
- MAF cleaned
- Throttle body Cleaned
- New Purge Control Valve
- Rubber piping checked for leaks, but I might have missed one?
- New Battery at start of year: Old one was dead.
- New starter motor: Fixed starter motor failure.
