Re: Battery tray

This was my first 'mod' to the dear old Probe , just so that a standard -075 battery would fit without the terminal problem. Basically , you make a flat platform out of aluminium plate to replace the plastic tray. This drops the battery enough to prevent problems. I sent the detailed drawing to Paul...

Re: Immobiliser

Curiosity would have me take the lid off that and look inside.
It is just a coil with a pair of really heavy contacts , something must be badly wrong for that one to fail.
I have a good spare if you need another.

Re: Immobiliser

Just a little clarification on what you have done to get it working. I think you have replaced relay K51, the relay that feeds power to the Power Control Module , everything 'engine ' needs that , to work. The ignition circuit needs that AND a separate , very secure circuit , with no easily accessib...

Re: Immobiliser

If it is running that is good news .
A bit odd that the IGN relay didn't work , they are normally never fail items....................
Main thing is , you solved it, well done.

Re: Immobiliser

As Sunfly , if the starter motor turns then it is most UNLIKELY there is anything wrong with the Temic or Immobiliser unit. So , it is either that cps connection OR the distributor. Just be very careful NOT to have any spark plug unconnected to earth when you check for a spark. Open circuits in the ...

Re: Immobiliser

Ah , I see.
First step.
Does the starter motor work ?
If it does , then the key to immobiliser components are working.
Yes/ No ?

Re: Immobiliser

Do you have a proper set of electrical circuit diagrams or are you just using the Owners Handbook to guess the components at fault ?

Re: Cambelt Pullys 24V

Why are you having all this work done at 19k miles ? What makes you think 'something' will go wrong if you don't have it done ? I can assure you the original cambelt will last for well over 100.000 miles without a problem , stability of the polymers too. indefinite. The carbon fibre in the Denso bel...

Re: Cambelt Pullys 24V

No, and if you agree to them doing it , demand that they give you the original ones back.
