jackherer 543 Posted June 17, 2006 this one could be the ECU coolant temp sensor causing massive overfuelling as someone suggested in your other thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackherer 543 Posted June 17, 2006 lol 2 crap french cars with the same problem aaah lol such is life, except that this isnt the problem with the other car, like I keep saying in the other thread... where is this coolant temp sensor on a bx 1.9 on the thermostat housing, either on the side or back I dont remember, its a blue plug and sensor, just like the 205s.

brianthemagical 1 Posted June 19, 2006 if you take the spark plugs out and turn the engine over, being very carful, if it is the temp sensor then fuel will start spitting out the plug hole. if this is the case, before u start the engine after rectifing it, at a small amount of oil in each cylinder as the petrol will have stripped thew oil of the bores and there will be no protection.

BUT the 205 might be going tonight, got all the required ingredients arriving today. a new tachymetric relay, a set of new injectors a gallon of holy water. and 3 virgins and a goat for sacrifice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
