fuel

Is they a pipe or something on the filler next. Reason for asking when I try to fill this omega the gun keeps clicking off because of to much vapour coming back out off the tank.

There is a vent pipe which runs to the carbon tank in the offside front wing. This gets vented into the plenum under certain conditions.

When you see TB about the screen he'll be able to check that the purge valve is working as it should :y

If the valve isn't doing anything, it's either plugged in wrong or has been killed by being drowned in carb cleaner...

If the latter, not expensive iirc and if the former budget for a new ecu temp sensor as they're next to each other so possible to swap the plugs over... Trouble is purge valve is 12v, temp sensor is 5v so it gets fried as soon as you swap the plugs ::)

Tell me if I amTalking rubbish, but when changing looms yesterday, the ecu temp sensor seemed to have a much shorter tail than the purge connector? :y

Mine didn't...  ::) hence knowing what happens when they're wrong :-X

Might simply have been a quirk of the routing, but the looms are all hand assembled, so scope for variations :y

I can post wire colours when I get home to rule it out if required :y

It was reporting coolant temperature OK, so unlikely they were swapped, IMHO.
