Getting a brain transplant...

[Bassfiend]

Well, after a couple of years of randomly "cutting out" as mentioned elsewhere the old girl has finally gone in to get a brain transplant...

I'm 99% sure that I finally know what the problem is that's been causing my rough running and cutting out issues - I think it's a broken wire or pin in the inline connector that goes from the loom onto the ECU as I seem to be able to reliably get the rough running to occur by flexing that bit of the loom.

Anyway - the entire engine harness is coming out, the hotwire AFM is comng out, the dizzy is coming out and in is going a CANEMS ECU, new loom, coil packs and wideband lambda ... should have her back in two weeks.

Good time to fit a second alternator to power the ghetto blaster in the boot

But GB over the years since I was into car hifi I've grown, my tastes have matured and I've become a more rounded and grown up individual so I no longer indulge in such childish and noisy pursuits.

Why am I not entirely believing you Phil?

Dunno...

...can't think of any possible reason you should doubt the truth behind my statement.

(God I'm missing the old girl already - but having said that I have a Mk2 Golf GTi 16v on loan from a mate while she's in the garage which is soooooo much fun to chuck around!)
