LHD MG ZS 180 MK2 has arrived

[Jason04r]

Think I've maybe found the issue. When replacing the inlet manifolds i might of got confused of which lead goes to which injector. Issue is they are the same size so i don't know which goes where??

How i had it originally


Here is another shot with the leads swapped round:

Other than swapping them and starting the engine , any way to know which is for which

[Jason04r]

Guessing the only way is to start her then , been all through the workshop manuals i have and it obvs doesnt state because normally there longer as the cables go on :/

I need some help here guys. Google has failed me

I get these fault codes with the OBD scanner:

P0505- Idle control System malfunction
P0107- MAP/BARO Circuit low input
P0132 - O2 Sensor circuit High volts (Bank 1 , Sensor 1)
P0122- TPS/Throttle position Sensor A Circuit low input
P0113- IAT Sensor 1 circuit high input

Car fails to start.

Help :/

Are you sure the loom plugs are plugged into the right places, all those are round the throttle body area.

The tps should read 5v at pin 2 iirc.

[Jason04r]

Just these codes now:

P0505- Idle control System malfunction - Tested 2 different ones
P0107- MAP/BARO Circuit low input -
P0113- IAT Sensor 1 circuit high input -

Engine management light has gone on. Starts when the throttle i pushed down.

Thoughts on the error codes?

I've got some links for things you can try.

PO107 http://www.obd-codes.com/p0107

PO113 http://www.obd-codes.com/p0113

The common thing with these sensors is a 5v supply, so checking that you have the 5v is a good place to start.

I need to get a new battery as i were using one from my Astra (65Amp). Done some reading about these codes and most people changed the battery and the issues went away. Also people saying the earth cable could be the problem aswel?

Still getting the 3 error codes and i have changed every sensor on the manifold such a throttle sensor , IAT sensor , Idle control and the car still fails to start without revs from the parts which i got with the car and also the engine i received.

New battery and then go from there...

** Another note. I picked up some power steering fluid but its green instead of the normal red. My dad said not to put it in as its always been the red colour.. Anyone know whats the difference between them?

[petet16]

What spec is the Green oil, the right stuff is ATF Dexron2 which is red.

I wouldn't use it either.

[Jason04r]

Some German brand used in audi's , bmw etc .

Would you know how many litres is needed to fill it , would the steering rack have a drain plug as to give the system a full flush.

[petet16]

There isn't a drain plug for the system, if you want empty it you'll need to disconnect the pipes from the rack which will allow the fluid to drain from the pipes and reservoir, and move the steering from lock to lock to eject the fluid from the rack.

Not sure about the capacity, 2 litres would be more than enough I think.
