The Quiffster	Sensor measurement / ECU		Lead	[-]
Registered Member Posts: 3310 Tue, 6-Jan-2009 23:01 Administrator	Tags : None Anyone know how to measure what is being received from the following sensors, which I believe all have a bearing on the fuelling; Lamdas MAF (Mass airflow meter) TPS (Throttle position sensor) If the answer is "Look at the ECU!" then my next question is, of course, how can I interrogate the ECU? TIA The Quiffster Unregistered user?, Why not come in out of the cold? It's painless, free and opens other options up to you. Spare less than a minute of your time and register here, go on, you know it makes sense!

I have info on the Rover system (Lucas 14CUX), I don't know what the Ford has. And - yes - they are the main sensors that influence the fuelling - though the engine temperature sensor is also pretty important, and usually fairly easy to check if you can find the spec. There may be one or two other minor sensors, like air temperature. Then there is the idle air control which is a little stepper motor that adjusts the idle - they have been know to stick. Steve There's a lot of talk these days about green transport. Well, I am ahead of the game, I already have green transport ... British racing green.

(I assume MHs can but they are not really 'round the corner' from Manchester ) Anyone had to replace an ECU? The Quiffster Unregistered user?, Why not come in out of the cold?

Registered Member Posts: 1735 Fri, 9-Jan-2009 00:01 Guru mechanic	As quoted by Mr Q himself...... I looked into this a few months ago when I thought I had an ECu problem. Don't know if the SC Mantis is the same, but Marcos replaced the standard Ford diagnostic connector with one of their own I have a cable & s/w from a guy in the US which will tell you everything (& then some) that the StarTester does, so long as you have a laptop. History, graphics etc etc. Lots of fancy stuff. As soon as I can work out what connector Marcos changed the diagnostic lead to I will be able to use it! Am currently talking to Dave Chivers about this to see if we can suss it out.

One of the Mantis down a the Ace Cafe meet a few weeks ago had some spade connectors into the bespoke Marcos socket, going to an ODBII socket which is one way to solve the problem! It's on another thread here but I think only three cables required - power & a data feed. If I ever get the chance, will probably have a stab at doing it that way. Sorry that's not much help. Hope you get the engine sorted though... The Quiffster Unregistered user?, Why not come in out of the cold? It's painless, free and opens other options up to you.
