Hi,

My dad's P38 has an issue where the engine turns over but doesn't start, never done it before, the guy we normally use is not around (long story) he mentioned the engine is out of sync with ECU. He did have the alternator changed so this has probably caused it but just needs looking at and a re-sync.

I am aware of members on the map but I would appreciate if anyone in the Essex area would be able to assist my dad as he is not able to work on it and does not have Nanacom etc. He would cover your time.

It will need to be a home visit, lives in Brentwood.

If any member could drop me a private message if you can visit him and help it would be much appreciated as it is sad to see him not being able to drive what he loves most.

Thanks all kindest members.

This is the one I just asked about @Grrrrrr
I am 16 Miles or so distant. Mine's a Thor engine licensed Nanocom.

all thor 4.6's were Vogues..

assuming the PO knows his car, then i'd say it's a gems if it is indeed a 4.6 HSE,

What has WABCO got to do with Motronic?

Bosch motronic injection and the intro of Wabco D over Wabco C

Has anyone been scheduled to go over to Brentwood to try and fix the EKA/Synch issue for @Lukas018 's father?
This is on the premise that any Nanocom GEMS or Motronic licensed version can talk to the BeCM and enter unlock codes and the like.
I'm happy to go if my petrol is covered <£10. I am only 16 miles distant.

Both '97 and '98 will be GEMS. Marty has been working away a lot recently but I believe a friend is helping send stuff out for his website.

You just need to stop the oil leak(s). Laughs hysterically...

Lukas018 · Feb 21, 2020

Bit of an update bought the sync mate done the job and 20amp fuse blew in engine fuse box aswell for Engine management. However all matter of strange things occurred when it started:
1. Blower motor stuck on full blast on one side error message on HEVAC.
2. Battery completely drained.
3. Engine kept cutting out like lost electrical power, when battery was left on charge with engine running was ok.
4. Gearbox fault.

It just seems like it is throwing a temper. Very strange.

Any thoughts?

Hopefully there is not a poltergeist in there seems like it ha ha.
