    hi!

    but pickup-trucks are hard to find over here...even if they are diesels!

    they can´t be old or bad enough to sell them to eastern europe for lots of money.....

    hmmmmmmmmmm................................................

    don´t know what to do...

    :thumbsdown: hi,folks!

    just wanted to tell you...on tuesday i wanted to change the clutch on my ´89-v6 terrano. :shiftyeyes:

    but i couldn´t finish the job now-some muscles in my back popped out and i couldn´t leave the garage floor anymore.

    my wife found me some hours later and phoned up the doctor... :chairfall:

    but i´m feeling better now and hope i can finish the clutch duting the weekend. :FartExplode-vi:

    hi!

    i have the same problem...now and then.

    headlights always work well,but if i use the dimmer for the instrument lights,they cut out and with them the taillights are lost...i couldn´t find a reason now...the fuse sometimes is blown,sometimes not................

    hi @ all!

     

    yes-bmw´s! if someone wants to look at the map:

     

    put your finger on munich-then move a bit north and way east...

     

    there you´ll find "Dingolfing".

    there´s europe´s largest bmw facillity...everyone thinks they are made in munich,but that´s not true. :nono:

     

    but-i´m not working there...the guys there aren´t...hmmmm.....................

    that smart everyone thinks they were. :wacko:

     

    i pay my bills by working in a small garage,mostly building quite special stuff for fire departments,paramedics,police etc...

     

    last cool thing we had to do was to modify a unimog u1300 into a real offroad-camper.

     

    @govols-i bet you´ve seen grafenwöhr and hohenfels,don´t you? B)

     

    i´ve been around places like them for some years too................................................................................................. :aok:

    hello!

    something like that could be...that would explain the fuel consumption too. :unsure:

     

    today,i changed the coils-just plugged in the original v6 coil to see what happens.

     

    it got better,but on speeds above 3000 rpm it seems that thing won´t get enough fuel,air or even wrong timing. :confused:

     

    as soon as the tachometer reaches the 3000 mark,any torque and power is gone. :huh:

     

    hmmmm......difficult to explain that effect-i can push the pedal further,but nothing happens.

     

    even shifting in a lower gear has no effect-all ends at 3000-3500rpm...it still runs fine,no stalling or something like that.

     

    it just can´t move the rig faster than that by any reason...

     

    to have something compareable-if it would be a diesel engine,i´d say it reaches its top idle speed and the regulator switches the hole thing off-and on again,as soon as idle speed drops.

     

    btw. does anyone know,which wires which ecu pin connects?maybe there´s something wrong with that.

     

    thank you all!

    hi!

    i pulled out codes yesterday again-the ecu tells me "55"...nothing wrong there. :mellow:

     

    but-fuel consumption is really bad now (needed about 15 litres/50km yesterday)

    and the engine absolutely has no power. ;)

     

    today,it started to idle up and down with reaching normal temperature.

    rpm rises to about 1500rpm and falls to 800...rises and falls.... :help:

     

    i plugged in the diagnosis computer we use at work,but even that one can´t find

    some error.

     

    everything seems to work fine,but driving really isn´t fun now...i use the 2.4 coil now because all the connectors were the same as the 3,0 coil-maybe that´s what´s wrong? :shrug:

     

    i even checked all connectors,the cap,rotor,plugs and all that stuff,but i can´t find anything wrong.

     

     

    compared to the 2.4,it´s like riding an old horsecoach now... :blink:

    hi!

    thank you all for your help-just found the gremlin:there was some bad connection within the wiring harness...

     

    it´s running now,but with no power.i´ve tried to check the ignition timing,but the marks on the crankshaft wheel don´t fit with upper death center...

     

    during driving,it feels like that thing can´t idle up as it wants.

    i adjusted the ignition timing by free hands and it got better,but still hasn´t the torgue it should have.

     

    for example-in 5th gear i can hardly reach 110km/hour...

    hi!

    today i pulled the ecu codes.it says 11-crank angle/camshaft pos. sensor...

    i almost had that thought.

    some wires had gone lose fromthe right side of the engine bay withdirection to the distributor.

    i´ve soldered them together in the way it had some logic to me.

    does anyone know about the wire colors and their connection?

    hi!

    hmmmm.........that may be!

    i´ve bought an old rusty vg30i terrano (u.s.-spec-model) and took all the stuff i thought i´d need.

    right this monent,i remembered i didn´t chance the pedals.

    what are those 4 switches for?.....maybe i should go out and try...

    hi!

    so,now that í´ve put in an ´89 vg30 engine with the ecu and the complete (!)

    wiring i´m in trouble.

    the lights don´t work,the engine won´t start...main relay,wiper,blower all the stuff works fine,even the fuel pump starts to work by turning the key.

    please guys-what may be wrong?

    i´m thinking about a ground problem (thinking about that,because "beam"-light is on all the time...),but i don´t know where to start searching...

    if anyone could give me a wiring scheme of the ignition stuff,it would be a great help.

    i´m sure,i´ll get the lights and stuff working,but i need to get the engine running first...
