(T) fed up :(

right on my sei i tried unplugging all the injectors one by one to see if any of em making my tapping, its still there!!!!

i give up now, ive had the tappets checked, checked the injectors, its not the alternator............wot the hell could be making this tapping noise!! its loud and getting on my nerves!!

but on an up point my magnecor leads came this morning!

i think u shud just forget about it!

If it annoys u that much, turn the radio up

i do turn it up....LOUD

but its still the thought that something may be wrong in the engine which cud be causing damage and im not doin owt bout it!!

Hi,
Stick your new leads on and see if that helps.......


Thanks

cam oil feed ok?

*clutches another straw*

I think mpi sei's do sound more diesel like than the spi so prob nothing to worry bout mine taps a bit aswell

have you tried doing an oil change including using a flush?

Can someone pop over to Minty and have a listen, me thinks he is too paranoid.

Liam

im not paranoid my mum has a sei sporting mpi too and it purrrrs, but mine....nope!

i just did a flush and even tried some 15w/50!!! in it........still the same tap!

so i flushed again and now im gonna use some 15w/40 magnatec n be done with it!

i tried unplugging all the injectors one by one to see if it was that and no joy, but i got my ecu fault lite thrown at me so had to disconnect battery and now ecu gotta get used to filter again, but it mite just be placebo affect but b4 i reset ecu, the leads did feel like they made a difference

but strange thing is, since i did injector test and put leads on, sometimes when idling it will do a mild blip in revs then drop sharp then back up again, i hate my fiat!

mine does that it idles and sometimes as if its gonna stall then pulls it self together and sort it out! mine has never purred even when i first got her staright from the facotry!

ive decided! heres the plan........i wait till mum n dad go away for weekend or summat and voila, head swap!!! lol

she'll never know hooo hooo hahahaha (evil laugh)

or at least until it starts rattling like hell!!!

What would you did if you swappeed the heads but still had it rattling lol

Hi,
Give the idle control valve a clean out with spray choke and carb cleaner, should make it idle a lot nicer....

Thanks
Paul T

if i swapped the heads and it still rattled there wud be a ritualistic car burning ceremony everyone is invited to

ill try idle control clean job, cheers paul! gotta find where it is first tho

The reason ur mums is so quiet is probably it gets driven bout 2 miles a day in low revs, whereas you rag the ass of the sporting!
