205 Gti Ecu

[GTIJIM 10]

hi all

got it started this morning it fired up fine then revved itself to 3000 then died so i started it again and tried to keep it going but it keeps dying

though it now isn't overfueling and revs allot cleaner

[GTIJIM 10]

tried replacing the dodgy earth and all its done is fix the starting problem still revs itself and then dies:(

anyone got any ideas what might be the problem?

There's a bolt on the inlet. Of its not present causes an air leak. Not sire where it is tho but sounds like a similar problem

[GTIJIM 10]

got the screw in but still doing the same could have blown a pipe off when it backfired? will have to do some routing around

started it again just and its stopped revving itself and reverted back to misfiring and overfueling its seriously taking the pi55 now

Wet plugs, lots of misfiring and smoke from exhaust ,

 

Just had same this with a rebuilt 1.9 which was then put in a 1.6. Turned out to be the AFM, a replacement from Ebay was the cure

 

Tried swaping ecu , injectors coil etc made little difference

yep got all of that had to wipe the petrol off the plugs earlier as it wouldn't start , ive got an AFM on the way which i got off eBay should be here soon

hopefully that will cure it then

[GTIJIM 10]

well the AFM finally came so going to get that on tommorow see if it makes any difference

also got a working and tested SAD to replace mine as im not sure if mine works or not

see what happens tommorow

Hi all

got the new AFM on and started it up and it runs nicely :D:D

still a bit of smoke but i think thats just whats left in the cylinders from previous starting attempts

so after 6 months i finally have a running 205

[GTIJIM 10]

well not out of the blue yet

when the engine has been running for about 5 mins it starts to smoke and smell like its overfueling as it did before also there is still a slight missfire but nothing as bad a s before and the car will idle at about 1k now

heres a pic of said smoke

 

any ideas would be much appreciated

My money is still on the AFM or possible the temp sensor , probably as the engine warms up after a few minutes the fuellling is changing

[GTIJIM 10]

ive replaced the AFM and the temp sensor appears to be new when i took it out so im not sure it would be them at least i hope its not as thats another £20 wasted

could it be a breather problem? or maybe something going on in the engine like oil seals or head gasket failure?

got another picture, the smoke seems to be fairly gray and theres allot of it (carbon on the ground it what came out when i revved it )

only seems to happen when it warms up

also it will idle here when it warms up

that's after playing with the air screws and the distributor to make the idle steady though there it does hunt slightly

[GTIJIM 10]

right then

after much thinking i rekon its the head gasket as it smokew when it gets warm and theres oil in the water and it overheats but that may be because the fan wiring has been eaten by mouses so going to get a head rebuild kit and go to town on it replacing every seal including the dodgy cam seal that leaks a fair bit of oil
