So i finally got around to spending some quality time under the bonnet of the soarer today and discovered several problems.
1. There is no pipe attached to this thingy (tech term)
Upload

I dont even know what this is but it looks important with several lines coming off it.

2.There are no lines attached to my bov! so im assuming the sound it makes is actually flutter. not cool. Were do the vacuum lines for the bov usually run from?
Upload


3. I found a line with a tee in it up against the firewall it has bolts blocking the 2 pipes coming off it
Upload

What is it? possibly the remnants of a boost controler setup?

4. This thing is not attached to anything and is just sitting in the corner of the engine bay bouncing around. were does it belong?
Upload


If anyone can help with any of these probs id be very appreciative

Cheers

1. Heater hose has been removed, may indicate a shot heater matrix - you don't want to know about replacing it. :-(

Well after my Quality time with soarer she now flatly refuses to start!
I ran a diagnostic and it flashed code for normal.
Cant seem to hear fuel pump priming but it may just be more quiet than I am used to.
Also it was running strangely today, jumping around on low revs under load (Quite violently like a bunny hop).
Today was very hot and I had cannon mufflers fitted this morning. dont know if either of these things are related.
HELP!

Sounds like it is rejecting the cannons :-)

But seriously, try the fuel pump ECU bypass trick.

There should be a little sticker on the inside cover of the diagnostic port mate. It has a picture of the terminals and relates them back to what they are (insert fuel jumper letters here)
