has moral fibre, who'd have thunk that?
For you old BMW nutters i mean enthusiasts, this guy does some good videos.

Well newer than my wifes ... hers is 20 yrs old

I'm with him.Filling the manifold with petrol? Driving the shitbox to Melb to make it idle?
Time to call it...
lol. It’s not that bad... Gotta try the programming procedure for the flywheel sensor first.Filling the manifold with petrol? Driving the shitbox to Melb to make it idle?

There’s only about 3 grand in it ( but a lot of time...) but it’s more than I just want to dump. Besides, as annoying as it is, my OCD won’t let a bloody machine outwit me!!I'm with him.
If it was classic metal, or even classy metal, I'd say persevere.
But it's not, bin it, start again.
I'm not keeping up. @Haakon what is it?But it's not, bin it, start again.
Just an old Megane, not even a sport. A French Camry.I'm not keeping up. @Haakon what is it?
Mouse trap.
Minus the snail
Yeah... The whole project is a featured entry in “it seemed like a good idea at the time”. And had a bunch of things not gone awry in a pretty unforeseeable fashion it probably wasn’t a terrible idea...Minus the snail![]()
I’ll figure it out eventually. Thankfully I don’t actually need it on the road anytime soon, so can chip away at it until the eminently satisfying Eureka moment. I have one more calibration procedure to run tomorrow and a new map sensor ordered, and if that doesn’t work I’m parking it for a while and letting my subconscious work on it while I play with my new bike (among a hundred other projects...)I say keep going. There's something incredibly satisfying about that sort of problem solving and you are most likely pretty close to solving it. Double check wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion etc.
It may only be an old Megane but what you've done is far better for the planet than throwing it out and buying a new car.
We have a nearly new car as well. Don’t really need two cars as we’ve discovered after both were written off in the hail, so can afford to tinker with this at my leisure.I doubt he needs a (this) car anyway - not like it runs & drives! Seems to be getting by with a non-functional piece of crap so far.
So it is a race between you and the rust!I’ll figure it out eventually.

haha. at least thats one problem Meganes dont have...So it is a race between you and the rust!
Cant rely on the French for anything.haha. at least thats one problem Meganes dont have...
