Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Yes it's TGM. I was hoping to get a replacement ECU and bits to see if that is the culprit.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
I have been given the number of another contact who is supposedly really good at fault finding and is also an LPG guy. He is retired but takes on some "special" challenges.... In discussions, the ECU has come up as a potential offender. Can I get another ECU to try, but do I need the Fob with it, or...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Thanks for the input guys.
I'll talk to the garage this week.
Harry says if they can't fix it he would look at selling it...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
I'm afraid that has been tried and made no difference.
It is set to petrol only for now to narrow down (!) the issues...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Thanks for the info.
Depending on what the Garage says (1st July) it might be getting booted out of the fleet!
I might have to recommission one of the coupes!

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
TB2 passed MOT today. Phew!
Have been recommended a local garage who are supposed to be very good at fault finding so I will take TGM there for some looking at.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Had a strange one last night with TB2. We were in Hull last night to see Half Man Half Biscuit with my son driving and me drinking! Got to the car after the gig, son turns on ignition and no sign of starting. No click or anything. Checked headlights and there was battery power. Thought it might be t...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Had a play today on TGM. Disconnecting the coolant temp sensor did not make a difference. I found an ECU in the spares box so took out the battery and fitted the spare ECU. (It didn't have MEMS written on the label so may not be compatible...) Car would start, rev, then die. Would not idle. Put orig...

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Mobile Mech suggests possible fuel pump issue?
Tend to disagree as it does it on gas too. I'm going to see if I have a spare ECU to swap over after doing the CTS test.
e-bay showing lots of differing types - Which would be suitable if I decide to renew it?

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Ah Coolant Temp Sensor! I've changed that on TB2 recently when the fan wouldn't kick in.
I'll try that at the weekend.

Re: Thunderbird 2, The Green Machine & Turbo Coupes
Does it on both, so I have switched it to petrol only to avoid confusion. Starts OK for about 8 seconds, then runs roughly and rich. On the road, it jerks or kangaroos then recovers on full throttle then runs rough again on part throttle and idles roughly. Would have put money on the TPS but a new o...
