Problems.... again!

[croscar]

Again, I'm having problems with my Typhoon.

I started it yesterday, but the Check Engine light staid on. Also the speedo gauge got crazy (jumped between 500 and 2000 rpm, engine was idle) and I heard some strange noise from under the car. The sound sounded like some metal was ticking...

I checked the engine, and noticed that the orange tube from the turbo was loose. I repaired it, started the car again and it was normal. But after 2/3 minutes driving the Check Engine light popped on and the speedo got crazy again!

I didn't had time to look any further, but maybe someone here has any idea what this could be and where to look...

Also, maybe a bump question: is it normal that the belt tensioner moves from left to right? :roll:

Do you have a scan tool to see what CE code is coming up? That's the first thing to check. That engine light can point you in the right dirction hopefully.

Nope, I don't have it :tdown:... But I'm trying to find someone in the neighborhood who had it...

I don't remember off hand but there's a way to jump the ALDL connector with a paper clip and you can count the CE flashes and that will tell you what code popped up. Hopefully someone will chime and save you the trouble of hunting down an OBD1 scanner.

You can read how to do it here.

I'm going to try it with the paperclip

OK, today I used the paperclip method to read the errors:

Error 32 and error 42 came out.
After we checked some things under the hood (found nothing strange) we reset the ECU (15 min cables from battery).
After this: NO ERRORS :rock:!!

We did a test run and still nothing! For the first time I saw the boost-gauge go to max :rotf:!

Anybody any idea?

There was only one thing 1 noticed: while we did the test run, the car didn't shift from second to third gear in Drive. It looked like it was hitting the rev limiter, but around 4500 rpm... It did shift in Overdrive.

Thanx for the help so far!
