Teamster gave me a link for checking engine codes (this was for the 2L turbo 8V & 16V) but the data conection on the link is different to the one on my car ( 97, 2.1td) so I don't know which pins to use,
anyone got more info on this ?
Which pins ?
Are the codes the same or not ?

Please help as it's reving up and down on tickover again.

Mine does too, I would blank the EGR if I could reach it. Why didn't I do it before I put it in the car?

It's not the EGR I blocked that off already, you can do it when in the car, just remove the inlet manifold and hammer a 10p into the EGR inlet pipe in the manifold it's self, will only take about 20 mins to do.

I have found that without the A/C on the revs sit at 1000 to 1100rpm most of the time but will drop to 800 then go up to 1300rpm at times,
but with the A/C on the revs are much more stable and sit at 900rpm, they do fluctuate a bit but not as much.

I think it's an electrics issue so I've disconected the battery tonight to reset the ECU and will see what it's like in the morning.

I must add it's running on my home brewed biodiesel again.

AH!

I would run it on normal mineral diesel and see what that does.

I will once I've used the 3/4 of a tank thats in it.
The wife is out in it now so will find out soon if reseting the ECU has helped.

Did you ever get to filling on normal diesel alone?

Yes it's runnimng on derv at the mo and still doing it.
I got the fault codes read today by a nice man on the french car forum and it's showing that the cam pos sensor is at fault,
only problem is it's inside the lucas pump

Oh and the back box has snapped at the jouint, so more money to spend.
406 ownership is keeping the econamy going in these dark times
