Horse power, reliable, more horse power, even more horse power oh you lucky people.

My dreams are simple, a car that goes like it used to.

 

Its off this weekend sadly not to track as planned at Bedford but to see the vx doctors. Hopefully I shall too, one day, post good Saab related news here.

Graeme, don't let Martin cry into his beer on Saturday night will you, watering down his beer will be the final straw.

Was, errr, going to say, errr, don't worry I'll make sure Martin is well-oiled, but not sure that will be any help...

Was 120 miles to Lees and apparently was still on the same notch (2nd) of the dipstick. Never went over 5000 revs all the way.

Could it just burn oil at higher revs? Could it just be mapping and fuel related, bore wash etc?? 

Will be interesting to see whats found.

Well after having a look last night came across charge cooler pump not pumping very well, very slow can't be helping with cooling intake temps so will get that sorted . Throttle body seems to be working ok but will check with op com .

Lee; check the raw pedal voltages with ignition only and then with engine running/driving. That behaved pretty weird in Martin's logs.

(And the throttlebody then followed this pedal input signal exactly...)

 

And I send Martin some details about his injectors that you should check/change.

I admire your persistence with this Martin. You must have had thoughts of binning the whole thing off and buying an Exige by now!

I can vouch for this route (and my VX was in perfect working order :D)
