Eventually I took out the lamp units, only to find that both bulbs had blown :oops: :roll:



Similar thing with me, both brakelights on the shogun weren't working, checked fuses, replaced the switch, turned out both bulbs had blown. I had dismissed it being the bulbs as what are the odds of both bulbs blowing at the same time :roll: :oops:

Turned my drl back on save the feds earning more for the xmas ball :lol:

The hunt for why the engine sounds like a tank at 3rd throttle continues :?

Unplugged egr, no difference.
Unplugged the sensor on the inlet (maf?) No difference except esp mil and hla failure.

Been will around the block with ids and can't find any problem.

Has to be mechanical, next checks are too remove belts, unplug injectors one by one then big hammer :lol:

No pcm updates available either. :-(

Had another look at it today, unclipped injectors, they don't start up again when you plug them in again lol so get to 3 and it conks out.
I need to spend a bit of time taking the drove belts off to do that check, but you know when you can't be arsed doing something :?

Thought about that but i think it is pulley related, removing the 2 belts will tell all i think, then the screwdriver method will be used after, should make it easier too :-)

How many miles has it done since you put it on the road?
Have you reset all the fuelling parameters?

I'm fairly certain there's a TSB for injectors on Custom & mk8's

Something about injectors being assembled incorrectly :?:
