Quiksilver Inlet Manifold

[Quik_Pug]

Just fitted a 2000 Quiksilver 1.4 Engine into a 1998 Model and i have a question regarding the inlet manifold.

Everything from the 1998 engine was used on the 2000 block. Inlet, mani, etc etc. There have been 2 problems soo far. One was the oil filter which i sorted and the second is the inlet manifold. The port spacings on the new block do no match the inlet from the 98 model so im fitting a inlet from a 2000 model.

Will i have any problems wiring up the inlet as havent changed the wiring loom? So will the sensors all connect up fine? Just wondering if there were any differences?

Many thanks :)

Take the sensors (map sensor, throttle position sensor, idle control valve) from the 1998 inlet - and put them onto the 2000 inlet

The 2000 inlet has a plastic throttle body so doesnt have an air temp sensor or a heater as it doesnt suffer from throttle freeze

So just leave those 2 cables hanging freely in engine bay

Will work fine mate :)

You got a pic of a 2000 inlet bud? Can i not use the throttle body from the 98 inlet?

[Fuzzy Orange]

I wouldnt - the ICV feed hole is in a different place

The only change on the throttle bodies is they replaced the metal design with plastic to stop them freezing in winter

Dont have a pic handy unless theres any on www.fuzzy-orange.com/gallery/ (http://www.fuzzy-orange.com/gallery/) from when I did the engine conversion

Fair enough ill get it on , plug those sensors up and fingers crossed no problems :)

[Fuzzy Orange]

Good luck :)

2000 inlet fitted fine and cured the idle problem and car starts fine but the car is only running on 2 cylinders. What is the most likely cause? Coilpack? ECU related?

[Fuzzy Orange]

Coilpack

Are you using the 2000 coil pack? 2000 ecu?

Or ...?

[Quik_Pug]

100%? because im fitting a different one tomorrow on the hope thats all it is :)

if coilpack has spat its dummy then usually engine management light will flash, and ecus are notoriously bad on them so wouldnt be something extraordinary lol! just do what i did mate, phone aa and say car running funny can you come plug diagnostic thingy in it please LOL:D

[Fuzzy Orange]

When they fail they rarely flag an ecu light - trust me I've had 3 go and so did dan_c and his had no light

Just ran on 2 cylinders

But it does depend which pack and ecu you are using as they arent cross compatible :)

[rob106]

oh yeah sorry lambda went at same time lol! yer grey and black plug if im not mistaken?

Its a 98 car. Only thing that is 2000 is engine block/head and inlet manifold

SO 1998 ECU, Coilpack etc etc

Fitted another coilpack and didnt work - car still running on 2 cylinders

Found out that 2 of the 4 injectors arent working though
