I have to ask this, just from a fresh eyes perspective.

I have no idea who installed the belt. So I mean no offence. If it was one of our regulars eg daz/serek/pete etc I don't suspect it.. But if it was an unknown to OOF, are we sure the valve timing is ok?

No offence meant at all, but it's a big co incidence it's just started immediately after it's been apart, so have to consider these possibilities

To put your mind at rest on that one ...Daz...

Ok cool, unless there has been a freak incident with perhaps the parts then I very much doubt any problems there

I arrive home from Spain on Sunday, and have a few days off where I'm not doing much.

Want me to come lend a second pair of eyes? I will swap the loom out for you too if you wish.

No cost, although you can buy me a pint if we fix it

See above offer of a little OOF spirit

I will take you up on that offer james and gladly sort you out 

Knock sensors are constantly inactive

And knock sensor signal bank 1&2 0v

I don't want anything for it mate, I want to get involved in OOF a bit more than I have been, I need to get out of chores, and I've not forgotten I kinda owe you a favour from a while ago. The only payment I will take is a pint, preferably Guinness

See you Monday or tues then ?

For James' benefit... been over this with Bigtime in detail over the last six weeks or so...

Mine suffered the exact same issue, the only symptoms being missfire once warm (0300 0306 always, other cylinders if left idling for any time once missing started) and coil 6 showing 40kv against 60kv for other 5 cylinders (tested with three different coil packs from other working cars at the 2011 Lakes meet by a very patient MarksDTM... same result each time... pot 6 was 20kv light)

Bigtime has investigated the issue far more scientifically than my efforts but has changed the same components in a similar order

FWIW mine was cured with a new (sh) loom, although this took two goes

New coil packs, plugs and known good injectors and ecu all made no difference,  which only left the loom. First loom was better, but still played up occasionally, second loom resolved it.

Might be worth acquiring the loom from Robsey MV6s breaker if it's still available... 3.2 auto, with about 45k iirc

Massive thanks for the info al

I do have a spare 3.2 loom to take. If it's needed. I will need it replaced though as it's from my 3.2 saloon project

[JamesV6CDX]

Al, I might be thinking of a totally different person or car, but did you have an issue with a chewed up plug electrode damaging a valve?

Or is that totally unrelated?

I'm guessing unrelated in this case, given multiple cylinders affected!

[05omegav6]

That happened first, but I now believe that to be either a symptom or a coincidence... everything else is as Bigtimes issue

Got that in the post..

Now for the 02 readings that i never put up last night...The voltage on Bank 1 Sensor 2 Stands out like a sore Thumb
