Yes , I was referring to parasitic draw , that's the 270-ish mA current measured . At the same time , the sparky checked the alternator output , which registered just over 14V , occasionally just a skosh shy of "closer to 15 than 14" , if you see what I mean . Certainly charging , but a...

If anyone has followed my other posts on the ECM saga for my '93 , you may be aware that the re-man ECM seemed to hit the spot . But ! - The car died on me due to a duff battery , it went flat and the car cut out whilst driving at about 70mph . The battery load-tested "kaput" , so a new one is...

Malc350;- Hey up mate .Thanx for your angle on this ! The click is defo from the headlight motor itself , but I am of the opinion that it may be quite normal . The healthy arc drawn when connecting is a bit odd , I'd have thought , there should'nt be a lot on line except the alarm , PKE and...

further frolics ! . Just spent a few hours with a multi-meter trying a parasitic load test , which was'nt conclusive , other than current leakage is minimal . The clicking under the hood is from the left headlight motor , when you pull the main lighting fuse it does it , and still getting...

Ecm fixed , now the battery/charging is having a go!! Thanx , Hib;- The reason for the ECM re-man was that things were scatty with the idle and rad fans , fans were on at ignition power-up with the engine cold , the idle was about 15-16 hundred . Some times , this would settle when things were...

back on the road !! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Well.... after the customs folks dragged their heels , and the postal Johnnies did their bit , I finally tracked down me old ECM. It was in the Manchester sorting office for a few days , eventually a notification from USPS arrived at my inbox saying it was...

Yeah , I'd noticed a mix of A/F and metric.... Just like the way my head works with temperature , I tend to go in degrees F above freezing ,instantly knowing if it's a "barbeque" warm day , or not , or knowing the degree of freezing I'll have to endure whilst at work . But nuts an' bolts -...

Thought so.... Seems like the FSM's are way better than other manuals , Haynes in prticular have led me up the garden path in some very imaginative and creative ways in the past . I am aware that the crank pulley calls for dropping the rack , so that be goodbye to the recent super-accurate...

Just wondering .... a few fairly common jobs that crop up on C4's , that I may have to look at some time in the not too distant future . Just looking to see about the degree of difficulty associated with these things , as I don't have the FSM's to hand yet - they're in shipping as I speak ...

HAH !! My world would be no better , and possibly a fair bit weirder..... Thanx for the info about the battery , I feel a bit more relaxed that that at least should have not added it's own share of woe to the gremlins . There were no radio stations set , as far as I know , I personally have'nt...

As the ECM off my ' 93 has gone for re-man ,the battery has been disconnected for a few weeks . Does anyone have any idea if this would cause any issues with any of the systems on the car ? On another note , I was checking a few earth/ground connexions just to make sure everything there is as...
