Knock sensor off would mean low power....but would have flagged a code....so what codes do you have

[ScottieMV6]

Yesterday when I was running it I read the codes and only had 46 which is the Secondary Air Pump which I know about as this was faulty before I did the work.

Just read them now and am amazed to find all of these

46   Secondary Air Pump Voltage Low
19   Incorrect RPM Signal
16   Knock Signal Circuit 1
57   Idle Air Control Voltage Low
21   Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Voltage High
129   Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Feedback Voltage Low
81   Injector Valve 1 Voltage Low
82   Injector Valve 2 Voltage Low
83   Injector Valve 3 Voltage Low
84   Injector Valve 4 Voltage Low
85   Injector Valve 5 Voltage Low
86   Injector Valve 6 Voltage Low

WTF have I done? Really p*ssed off now :-/ :-/

Are you using a code reader or paper clip.

Paper clip

Ok.....so, check the connectors to the listed items (I am concerned about the 19).

Is the EGr valve all ok....is it blanked off?

I'll check them all tomorrow then Mark.

As far as I know the EGR is fine. It is not blanked off and is all connected up fine.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yes, well place a bit of coke can between it and the gasket.....to blank it off and take it out the equation.

We need to work through the issues one by one......

[ScottieMV6]

So tomorrow I will blank off the EGR and check all connections and then report back. Thanks Mark

Compressions all look good.....so should run ok.

Code 19 is a worry.....has it had a crank sensor recently?

Also, was the cambelt fitted with the locking kit/

It seems to run ok apart from it running a little fast.

It has not had a crank sensor in the 3 years that I have had it. Is the crank sensor the one that runs up the back alongside the oil cooler pipes?

Locking kit was used to fit the cam belt kit.

Is the idle valve connected?

The crank sensor is the one that runs up the back

Started the car today after checking all connections and the smoking has all but stopped? The car runs quite smoothly and pulls well (little bit of smoke when pulling away).

Checked the fault codes again and still have

46   Secondary Air Pump Voltage Low
19   Incorrect RPM Signal
16   Knock Signal Circuit 1
57   Idle Air Control Voltage Low
21   Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Voltage High
129   Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Feedback Voltage Low
85   Injector Valve 5 Voltage Low
86   Injector Valve 6 Voltage Low

Seem to have cleared 81,82,83 and 84 but have now acquired 87 -  A/C Cutoff Relay Voltage Low.

Not sure how I have cleared these codes as I have nothing to reset them with?

Whilst running the engine I left the header tank cap off and when up to temp the water was spilling out over the top to the point that there was nothing left in the header tank. Is this right?

Finally there seems to be an awful lot of mayo in the filler neck (more than i would normally see from short journeys). Dipstick and header tank are clear though!!

Any further thoughts?

It's a pressurised system so leave the cap on, or you'll lose all of the coolant in there. Mayo well have you thought about giving it a good run, better still change the oil then do it. Might give a better clue as to the problems then if any.

The initial smoke was defo condensation, I had a similar thing after a HG change a good drive sorted it out.

Did you turn on the ignition at all during the dismantle?  Even to listen to radio or move the wipers?  It seems to be working fine so might be worth getting to a tech2 to clear the codes and see what pops up then.

I'm starting to think you might be right on that one, it just seemed to go on too long.

I would give it a good run but it is currently on SORN and MOT has run out. Didn't really want to waste money on MOT if its not right.

I don't remember turning on the ignition at all during strip down. I did however leave the knock sensor off which would explain code 16, and when doing a compression test I simply unplugged the injector rail, could this explain codes 81 - 86? Doesn't explain why 4 cylinders now ok though?
