Good luck.
I dont think it has a "Linkage" as it is Fly By Wire


Sorry should have read all the posts

No problem, I should have looked in my manual before making the comment.

Even with a basic code reader, the live data should give you throttle position. Just plug in the reader, turn on ignition (engine on or off doesn't matter) go to live data, and try pressing the throttle.

Hi All,

Thanks for all your comments.

I spoke to Brian on Friday, what a really helpful guy, and he's given me a few other things to try. But think it will be ECU over to him to check.

Cheers,

Graham.

ECM is fine Graham......










Time for one of THESE Graham, don't be tempted to buy a second hand one

Excuse me asking but why do the 2 capacitors show different voltages ?
Sir

The screenshot shown is that of an NNN500340, the NNN100720 as fitted to early automatic cars is electronically very similar in architecture.

There is only one capacitor fitted to the late ECM, and a blocking oscillator is fitted in place of capacitor two to generate approximately 30v.

The NNN100692 as fitted to the early manual cars, has two identical injector driver circuits, so both capacitors read approximately 80v

The injector solenoids are 12v, and the ECM generates the injector dwell time with pulse width modulation, using the 80v rail chopped rapidly.

There you go, bet you wished you hadn't asked now

On the overview shot of yr t4 the battery voltage is showing as 13.81/13.91
On my obd mode my battery is shown at a similar rate - would this be roughly the correct or necessary rate of charge m8 ?
Regards
Chris

No Chris, what you are seeing is an immediate post start reading with the HRW activated due to low temperature.

Add into the equation I had just programmed the ECM, which involves having the ignition switch in position 2 with the engine not running, so glowplugs and fuel pumps all take their toll on the battery.

The normal readings are circa 14.2v, and my car quickly recovered to this after a couple of minutes.

If a battery has diminished capacity, it will accept a surface charge very quickly, however as the battery is good on my test car, it is slower to react.
