The lack of power up hill is how mine problem started I narrowed it down to injectors or HP fuel pump. It was the HP fuel pump. I bought a fuel pressure tester.

Yours is a 2A. There was, I believe, a recall on them, and the sensor was eventually deleted.
I do know someone with a Nanocom, Julian. Don't think the car would climb the Westgate at the moment though. Should be someone over here. After all, I went out to peoples places with mine when I had it.

Sierrfery is one of life's gurus on this stuff, so I'm going to give his thinking a go tomorrow.

Well if you want to borrow the fuel pressure tester..

Sassafras? you wouldn't go that far in your holidays... Oh, wait, it's on the way to Toolangi.... Sure, bring the FPT... and leave it and the Nanocom, you'll only break it....

Seriously, Julian, thank you. Let's see how I get on with the simple things suggested first. Car might be fine with a little TLC.

Don't forget to check fuses , did you solder and heat shrink the wiring to the crank sensor ?

Yes, and I did my best to maintain the shielding by using the same wires off the donor car. However, now it's cooled down I'll go over everything I did, as well as do what has been suggested so far.

So, changed the filter. No water there, but plenty of dirt, which is the point i guess. Purged it, went around the wiring and it started up just fine. Going to take it for a drive with the water sensor thing off.

It's driving really well unless I give it full throttle. I think I'll bypass the boost control solenoid and see what happens then.

Remove fuse F2 and try so cos then the solenoid should be open all the time as like it's bypassed
