She's alive! was created by mlines
Well, after being laid up in 2011 following a major failure and being briefly restarted in 2013 when I had to get her on a flat bed to move house, today is the day to bring her back to life.
Over the last few days I have replaced the battery, air filter, oil and oil filter. The fuel in the tank is from 2011 so has been in the tank for 6 years, however there is too much of it to drain easily so its fingers crossed!
Stunning! Started as if it last ran yesterday.
However, I still have some work to to.
After running for a few minutes she threw up an engine code.
This is the O2 Sensor heater wire. I now recall my sons Jimny had an issue and we swapped over sensors to get his running so I had his sensor
- so i need a new one for the MOT.
Also the idle speed, instead of settling down after a few seconds to around 700RPM it increased to just under 2000 and sat there. Therefore I now need to look at why the idle speed is too high.
There is some bearing noise so something (Tensioner bearing, Alternator bearing etc.) is not happy
The exhaust has a lot of steam and water coming out. No loss of water from header but engine does seem warm. However she always was a steamy exhaust car without losing water and with the oil not getting emulsified.
So its onwards with the diagnosis but a major step forward today.
