sounds like a lead
Hey peoples,
I have tried to diagnose this myself with replacing all the things i could think of causing this.
My 4age smallport hestitates sometimes around 3-4k then other times 5-6k. Not consistant.
Its using standard ecu.
Ive replaced:
* Spark plugs
* rotor and cap
* injectors been cleaned
* fuel filter.
The leads look in good condition but how do i check the resistance of them?
Any suggestions?
sounds like a lead
Check resistance by using a multi meter on ohms setting. Place one end of the multi meter on one side of the lead and the other end on the opposite side of the lead. This will give you a reading across the lead.
You want a reading closest to 0
i have a somewhat similar issue but the car is hesitating under low revs, i replaced plugs , fuel filter etc and it's got me beat , some people say the map sensor needs to be replaced, any idea would be great!
I changed the leads its a bit better but not 100% good.
Next thing i will be changing is going to be the map sensor and cold start injector. Prob get one from the wreckers and see if it makes a difference.
Im also having issues starting it too. Takes about 3 seconds cranking then give it a boot full untill it idles.
my car does this identically on start up , requieres accelerator otherwise it's very hard to start, whats a map sensor worth?Originally Posted by cuzzo
yeah theres only a handfull of 4AGE powered cars where i live so it's going to be hard to source locally
Its so weird. I wasnt doing the hard starting before i changed fuel filter or injectors, but when replaced with new it started doing it.
WTF!?
Did yours start to do it after you changed the filter?
yeah dude , the day after , she ran like gold for 24 hours then had kids, i was like WTF i spend money on you and you do this lol
mines just a repco one , im checking for vac leaks etc etc might reset the ECU aswell
ahh fair enough , ill reset mine and check everything else and tell you how i go!
ok it's running better than ever currently, i reset the ECU unplugged and replugged everything under the bay wire related etc and bolted a few earths in , also check all the fuses in the bay are seated correctly as my EFI one was slightly out
