hey guys,
i reset my ecu about a week ago and just run the car on petrol, i wanted to make it run a bit better on petrol and it did.
Switched it over to gas today and drove to work ran fairly crap and idle wasnt great.
After work i stoped at a set of lights when the light went green went to take off and bang! afterwards it was stuttering a bit so i flicked it to petrol and drove home and everything was fine.
Thought i would do the same thing reset the ecu and start on gas, when i popped the bonnet to remove the engine fuse i glansed over at the air box and it had a massive hole in the side.
the engine was running while i was checking this all out and a heard a tic from a relay (usualy happens just before thermo fan comes on) but this time no thermo fan.. and it continued to not turn on even a little past halfway on the temp guage still nothing.
car is still running ok on petrol and gas.
my question is this: what should i check after the backfire and make sure is ok? and what could be wrong with the thermo fan situation? since the relay is ticking could it just be the wiring from relay > fan or the fan its self or are there more possibilities.
also gas has been tuned not to long ago sparkplugs leads etc changed less than 20,000 ks ago
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
