Title: Engine tune
Post by tintin on May 13^th, 2006, 11:10am

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a garage in the Edinburgh area to give some attention to a cossie? Since the new gearbox (and battery off), the idle is not right, and seems a lot rougher than before. I know one of my lambda sensors is slow to respond from an odb scan, but could do with another one since the battery has been off.

cheers

All,

Firstly big thanks to scorpio man for the scan, intruiging stuff......update is we think im running very rich on one side, and have a blown cat (might explain the hint of burning smell coming from under the car ;D)

Still looking for a garage somewhere near (within 60 miles) of edinburgh, that can be trusted to do a good job on the car. will be doing spark plugs, air filter, pre-cat sensor, and find a chuffing noise that pops everytime time you rev the car (chuff, brrrmmmm)

So far, last garage has not replaced exhaust correctly (rattle), locked out the stereo so it needs recoding, and not bolted my battery back in and lost the cover >:( i suspect the car was worked on by the usual mechanic, as the garage was recommended to me by someone on this forum.....
