Title: urgent one on a 2.2 petrol
Post by: tigers_gonads on 12 April 2010, 10:50:42
a mate of mine has a 2.2 petrol auto miggy with a factory fitted gas kit ( ex police car )  :y

every now and again, it throws up a bit of a fanny fit  ;D

driving along normally and then, just for a few seconds, it will start to run sh*t then clear its self and of it goes  :(

yesterday, we stuck it on his box of tricks  ( snap on pro ) and cleared a couple of codes

these are from memory

p 1700   canbus service ?
p 1550   throttle position ?

car drove normally for a few hours then he stopped

came back out a hour later and now the car refuses to start  >:( >:(

not had a chance to go and recover it yet

anybody come across this one ??

anybody got any serious ideas ???

sounds like it could be the old 2.2 cam sensor with no really relavent code issue.

we know the trottle body and breathers could do with a clean
would that make any differance to the codes ?

Should get rid of TPS code. Car will still start eventually with failed cam sensor

So you may be in luck  :y

right, only code stored relates to the gearbox ecu selector ??  ( can't remember the number )  :-[

speaking to a lad who drove it last week, apparently he had trouble getting it to start but cured it by moving the gear selector up an down the gate a few times  :-/
so we are now looking at the selector switch ??

opinions please ??

Cam sensor can cause 1700 code  :y

(search in here on cam and 1700, 1 per thread, since beginning, many many hits)

Guys My suggestion for what its worth is to c;ean the Throttle Body and the Breathers.  I had a similar issue with my 2.2 and as soon as we cleaned the Housing and the Breathers with some Carb Cleaner the Car was as perfect

looks like we have 2 faults here  :'(

1st one looks like the selector ( now i know about it playing up last week )

2nd one  ( intermitant fanny fit )   will strip and clean the throttle body and breathers and see what happens  :y 
if that does'nt cure it the its cam sensor time  :y

cheers  too all
