Hi,
Well I replaced the dodgy battery clamp and all that’s good now……I’ll see how the alternator/regulator performs.
Incidentally I received for my birthday recently a Gunsons 80A current meter with three different adapters for the various sized automotive fuse links. If I remove the battery fuse and monitor the current while on tick over what level of current should I expect to see?
But. Now I’ve now got the engine right on and with my el cheapo hardware widget and Car Scanner iPhone app there’s no codes to be found apparently.
It did this just after I’d bought it in June with a lambda sensor code and went out after I’d filled it up with premium unleaded, never returned until today. I’ve fill ed it up again today from 1/4 full with premium so it may resolve again. I can’t help thinking that recent events of not much use and flat battery haven’t got some bearing on this so will see if it stays. There seems to be nothing untoward regarding the running of the car, everything seems to be doing its thing.
However, if it doesn’t resolve itself what are your recommendations regarding getting the code. From what I gather PScan seems to be the bees knees but I’d rather not get a PC (or Mac) involved. I’d much rather have a hardware code reader.
Apologies for the War and Peace essay.
Regards,
Michael.
