1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Ok so he didn’t respond to that last email so I’m not going up today. I’m going to post the ECU to him (after I’ve checked the injector boots for a short) and hope he can fix it and get it back to me on time. With regard to checking the injector plugs for shorts, thinking about it I should be able a...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Yes - he's been good to me in the past too. I've said that I'm going to drive up on Monday as I don't work Mondays - might be easier if I see him face to face. Even if he can't do it there and then at least I know he's got it and he appreciates the urgency EDIT - now I've found he's on holiday next ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Ok this morning I got a response from Canems! First he's suggested checking the boots under the injectors to make sure I haven't got a short. He's suggesting this on the basis that I've done a bit of work on the engine and they may have been touched/knocked. I didn't touch them or disturb then durin...

I’ve gone through the software manual and there was a test to confirm that the crank sensors are both working. I ran that and it confirmed that they are

Internet suggests he is good & helpful but hard to get hold of. I know I’d have the case open & oscilloscope probes out to trace back the signal, but that’s not for everyone.

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
I just caught up with this, read the last 8 pages or so. I was glad to read when the noid light had been utilized; very useful information. I went through an similarity dispiriting diagnostic process with my erstwhile 87 924S with the same Motronic (but no Camens), a story for another time (or not ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Isn't the number one cause of laid up 3.2 non-starts gummed up injectors? Could it be that the Canems unit pulse width isn't wide enough to open the blocked injector, whereas holding the injector to ground does? I realise you tested this with the noid LED, but I would revisit that. Hi Jonny It’s ha...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
If you can establish serial comms with the ECU the microcontroller “brain” is not 100% fried. It may have lost the two output channels used for the injection pulses but perhaps just the high current semiconductors that amplify the microcontroller output. It should be repairable, in that situation. ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Yes that’s what I’m hoping - I mean it was functioning well when I logged into it so hopefully if there is any damage it won’t be too much - at the moment it’s more a question of how quickly they could do anything

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
OK the AA man has been and just confirmed that we’ve done everything we can and agreed that it’s pointing at the ECU in some form. We sprayed carb cleaner down the air intake and it fired up (not great but it fired) Discussed everything we’d done and he came to the same conclusion. He looked at the ...
