Check the capacitors in the ECU. There are several threads on the subject, e.g. https://www.imoc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=1698948#p1698948

Amber front / side lights are an MOT failure. Whether your MOT tester picks up on them is very much down to the individual tester though.

Rev 3 ecu electrolytic capacitors and suggested replacement part numbers. The replacement capacitors may have higher voltage ratings than the originals. Main Board: C002 = 63v 47uf - EKZE101ELL470MJC5S or EEU-FC2A470 C004 = 35v 33uf - EEU-FR1V330 or 100ZLJ33M8X11.5 C101 = 10v 100uf - 35ZLH100MEFC6.3...

Hopefully this may help someone else. When my engine started running roughly and not wanting to start I checked for error codes and found code no. 14 (No IGF signal to ECU 8 - 11 times in succession). Whilst looking for an igniter I came across various threads about the capacitors failing in the ECU...

I have seen that KB article thanks, unfortunately there's no useful technical info on the ecu control though.

Voltmeter is my back up plan but this (a) assumes that all is working as it should and (b) the ecu control decision process is simple enough to be found this way.

Does anyone know at what point the ecu bypasses the fuel pump resistor? Is it based upon rpm, map or a combination of the two?

Thanks

Ah, so it's a re-route on the rev 3. On the rev 1/2 this take off is from the breather going back to the induction system before the turbo.

Cheers

The cast aluminium pipe that connects the turbo to the intercooler on the rev 3 turbo has a take off boss cast just below the dump valve, from this a small bore hose it fitted; Does any one know what this hose is for and what it should be connected to?

Thanks.

I believe error 23 is an 'manifold air temperature sensor' error if it's the same as for the ST205.

It doesn't unless you reprogram it.

Here's a thread with more info, screen shots etc about it http://spyderchat.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45059

I think with the computerised MOT system the registration date comes up on their computer.

Sounds like the guy does not know what he's talking about. For cars registered from 1973 - 2001 you can either have the old style plates with no BSAU 145d mark and group 1 or 2 font style/spacing or the new post September 2001 style plates which must have the BS on it along with a bunch of other use...

What do you mean by 'jap' number plates; a square rear plate?

Ah, in that case I'm you may need to use THG for the THAM signal but you may need to swap some other pins around too. It all depends on how Apexi designed the ecu.

I would not expect you to have a manifold air temperature sensor unless you are doing the conversion to speed density. Are you doing the conversion?

Are you doing the conversion to do away with the VAF? If not then I do not think wiring up THG to an air temp sensor will help. If you are doing the conversion then a different pin gets used.

It pretty much as my rev2 turbo except for the following was connected on mine; EVP - canister purge solenoid VTA2 - traction control TPS (tied to VC) THG - as discussed, used for THE TE2 - test connector IDL2 - traction control TPS (tied to gnd) PS - power steering PSCT - power steering ABS - ABS e...

So it has an EGR VSV but not a EGR temperature sensor then?

Pin 1 - VC
Pin 8 - VF
Pin 9 - E2
Pin 16 - IDL2
