Vehicle fitted with auto/manual g.box. Engine won't rev...hold throttle down and revs gradually build. Put in gear and vehicle refuses to move
Items checked. crank to cam timing : compressions 210 on all cyls: new airflow sensor: exhaust and cat removed ( suspect might be blocked).: both Lambda renewed: Fuel replaced: crank sender renewed ( noted that original crank sensor was damaged on it's tip !!! also noted that crankshaft as more end float than normal 60 thou approx !! new crank sensor spaced out slightly to avoid further tip damage.
Also noted that engine gets hot very quickly.. after running engine for approx 5 mins the exhaust manifold glows cherry red ! and cooling fans trip in at about the same time .
Had plugin .. no MIL and no stored codes but lambda readings vary between .01-.09 very erratically. Fuel consumption seems high and yet idle sounds ok. Had ecu check ( blue streak) and no faults found. Any ideas chaps ? Thanks , Ted
