Hello chaps

Anyone got a megasquirt capable laptop in Bristol? I don't need to do any tuning just need to verify all my sensors are working.

Something has gone badly wrong - done 10 miles on quarter of a tank!!!! biggrin

I'd be checking the petrol gauge and having a good look around for leaks.
Going through petrol at that rate (assuming accurate gauge and no leaks), you would probably have more petrol in your sump than in the petrol tank, besides smoking like an old diesel.

All seems fine! - I can smell petrol leaks a mile away and it's been sat in the garage overnight - nothing on the floor....It's shunting like a b@5tard now too...

Could it be a dodgy injector? Perhaps one that isn't closing off?

Yes - I very reckon it could be. Good call.

When you find the cause an oil & filter change are probably in order scratchchin over fueling bad enough & left long enough causes the sump oil level to increase eek diagnosing an injector is straight forward enough through elimination/unplugging but I doubt it nono inj failure is a very rare occurrence although not so much with the late stuff rolleyes
