Thread: Which sensor now!

Hi SO69
Have you had the ECU read for faults via Nannocom or similar?
Mine is showing a fault in the temp circuit,when I had it in Perth,Marc at Beechboro 4x4 said I was getting 4degC difference between the coolant sensors and suggested a new coolant sensor be fitted.Nanocom only tells of the fault,he picked the temp sender differences with his Auto-Logic whist fitting my new chipped ECU.
Another check for oil in the harness,remove your ECU(its next to the battery) Is there any oil leaking from the RED plug,if so you need to replace the injector harness inside the rocker cover.Its an easy DIY job,harness is around $200 to $250.
Im in Williams,I can read your ECU and check the wastegate adjustments via Nanocom if you cant find anybody closer.
See the list of people with diagnostic equipment in the sticky section at the top of the Electronic Diagnostics Forum.

thanks gents

the harness (on a 2003 disco) may be the culprit, does there seem to be an observed service life of these, and are the new ones better insulated, than the originals

i will look into the nanocom, is it the best dianostic for the price?,

The injector harness in my my03 is original and hasn't leaked in almost 210k kms but that just means its a good one - so far anyway.

might also be the crank angle sensor connector.

Thanks again for your input, muchly appreciated,

always pays to be diligent in proceedure, undid the injector harness and sprayed with cleaner on main harness conector and oil bubbled out, pulled red plug off ecm, (Checked Last time 4weeks ago to put on Dp chip) now oil every where,over dp conectors as well,

new harness orderd, and does run far better with contacts clean at this stage,

WOO HOO!!!

An UpDate for all

No the loom alone did not, and im still wiping oil out of the harness, almost all gone,

a test on a nanocom, as well as testbook, picked up a driver demand error, re Accelerator.

New Accelerator, $400 fitted and programed in, and now drives like i expect it to.

in fact with the DP Chip its sweet, revs to 4250 and very linear

i must say though it appears that the rover programing is similar to mercedes in that if you put your foot down there is a delay 0.5-1.0 secs, before full power is allowed, separate to full boost.

i will now get the engine mounts looked at as im sure that the vibration is now harmonic in nature
