hi all.
been battling this all day. begins with started to get the good ol' 'loose connection' engine cuts out, needles drop, quickly turn off and on and it runs again (while on the m6!) last week saturday.
been fine all week going work and back 12 mile/30min each way approx. then yesterday got it doing it again so took the d4 connector apart and cleaned, dried and reconnected, done same with ecu plugs. still no joy.
today tried to start lasted about 30 seconds, after 5 times starting finaly it ran and when it got warm was fine. checked for codes with fes, u1601. cleared it and tried restarting and checking for codes and all was good bar the ac fault which i know because it's disconnected due to the whole ac sys being shot.
I checked ecu pins they are fine(and have done one dropped pin once before), so decided to strip engine bay fuse block, there was a bit of corrosion between the big relay pins and I hoped that would be the cause, subsequently striped whole lot to make sure all is clean.
back togeather and plugged up, neg terminal back on, fes connected and ready, ignition on, BEEP BEEP BEEP!!! ABS ESP ASR LOOSE CONNECTION....started the engine and have no power steering, checked for codes, now coming up with u1702!!:bang:
battery and alternator are good, all fuses are good, any suggestions anyone?
