![]() If the item that fell off is only a couple of inches big and dustybin says their car hasn't got anything attached to it then I'd be inclined to think that what fell off your car was a blanking plug and that the connector is possibly unused.
That said, it could be a sensor but for what though is unknown ![]() I'd say to try all other options for non-starting, such as the fuel-filter clip, check to see if both pumps are priming and check that battery has sufficient charge etc etc. If all those come up blanks then maybe the connector is for something after all? ![]() |

![]() Ok, I think I've identified the offending connector.
The closest I can get is the PAS load sensor which is mounted towards the back on the PAS pump (I think) Whilst the colours of the wires are different, the connector is definately correct.

![]() Wasnt the pas wiring at one point plugged into the pump then disappeared to nowhere inside the loom ?
That plug looks like it hasnt had anything plugged into it as it looks a little manky. My guess is fuel issues, remove the quick release unions from the bulkhead and crank it over. my guess not much fuel but if it sprays all over the place need to look elsewhere. Place a rag over the pipes to save spending hours tidying up. |

![]() Hi all taken me this long to get somone out with test book to check the car only fault code that came up was for the PAS load sensor so Greeners you were right that is the offending bit that is missing however, The mechanic that came out said that wouldnt stop it firing up so he checked to see if the fuel was getting through and the simple answer is no. So Grey Ghost gonna give your idea a go,but being lazy ha ha was just wondering if there are other areas easy to check first, fuel cut off switches etc. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Mike PS any rough idea what this would cost if im totally lazy and just take it to a garage ha ha |

![]() Probably charge you for an hours work at a garage although a competent MGR mechanic will have done the filter job many times as it is so common.
All the AA and RAC people know this one as well and will do roadside repair. Are you member? Even so it is not a difficult task to undertake just take your time and make sure seals are seated properly. best of luck. |

Have you reconnected the connector ? I assume all vehicles had speed sensed PAS

![]() If I've picked up the correct sensor, it's QGG100130 (I'm sure someone else will check and confirm or deny)..........
You may want to sit down as it's listed as costing £118.74 + vat.......... According to the EMS workbook, if you loose this sensor, the MIL light won't come on, but you wil get a fault code and the idle will become very lumpy especially when turning the wheel. Possibly try Les at SMC who's breaking a number of cars.....
