Ok ! So I went to collect my bravo 100 hlx jtd, that i won on ebay and hadnt looked at !
I dont want to go back to much ! Im a complete idiot and complete noob, im soft in the head this i know.
Ok so drove the car away and there is no power ! its almost as if its in limp mode, did splutter out some smoke randomly ! But I struggled to get past 40.
I know i should of tested it, but there was no tax on it, i had to go get the tax, cost me 100 squid, which was another reason didnt want to take the car back, as that would then be lost money. ya anyways its my fault for being a pleb
Well I got recovered, the guy says its more than likely a throttle sensor !!! as the engine is still running sweet ! and smoke would ov been the car not being able to burn the fuel off, as it was only idling !!!
He said it dosent look like the turbo or anything serious !!!
He did try to hook it up to the diagnostic machine, but it wouldnt connect ! said maybe its to old or summat !
So yeah he comments on how good the condition of the car ! But that dont mean anything when i cant frigging drive it....
he says I should try unplugging the throttle sensor, then plug it back, might work if not, replace it !!!!!
what do you fink !!!
not to give the whole sob story, but i borrowed the money for this lemon, for a new im going to be starting, and have been on my arse for a while, always the way eh, these things happen when you least need them to !!!!
