    P38A Pinking Under Load

    Oh dear Wammers if I didn't need to depend on your fountain of p38 knowledge, promoting those oil burners would be fighting talk ;/ I've only had one and it was a classic with the VM so am understandably against them. But I have noticed the MAF fitted is one of those pattern/no brand types...

    Haha I love this forum, sounds like this could be the cause thankfully. All the noise of pinking with none of the fault codes. Thanks biketeacherdave, from mr.f*ck knuckle ;)

    P38A Pinking Under Load

    Thanks for that, my gas system does have advance the timing when running LPG, have a few questions!- Could a faulty MAF even cause pinking? Is there anyway to bench test the MAF, I don't really want to spent £150 on a new one to find it makes no difference. I only have basic OBD diagnostics...

    P38A Pinking Under Load

    How do all, My 2001 4.6 Thor has started linking really bad under load. It has a 12 month old LPG system fitted but does it on petrol or gas. Not long after the LPG was fitted I replaced both coils, new plugs and fitted 2 new coils. I've pulled only 2 fault codes with me cheap eBay generic OBD...

    P38A EAS LEAK FINDING

    Ok, the one I've bought says its stays red just stays on for 3 seconds then goes off for 10 and comes back on red when codes cleared. Might open it up and check connections.

    P38A EAS LEAK FINDING

    Well it spat it's dummy out on the way home for the first time since switching to eas. Came up with an EAS fault left the arse end in the air and the front deflated on bump stops. Got it home like that's as the eas kicker I bought did nothing ;(, and plug in the eas suite cleared the fault and...

    P38A EAS LEAK FINDING

    Sounds like a good place to start. I've got the valves and had a problem with the n/s rear going down so replaced the feed line. I guess the spray bottle method is just set it to high and spray everything you can get too. Will give it a try thanks
