gazzauk80 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 Hi does anyone have a fault code reader for a 2.3 galaxy i could maybe use due my engine having erratic idling ect. thanks Quote
NikpV Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 cant help with the fault code reader - location would probably help folks here but have look at idle speed control valve Quote
gazzauk80 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Posted July 14, 2007 Thanks for the link nik i shall look into it later.It is also coupled with engine cut out at around 2000 rpm and just a little lack of power.chnged the maf and no difference.so just trying to eliminate things Quote
mumof4 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 There are a lot of mobile diagnostic in swindon, one place i would avoid is scorpian engineering in swindon itself, i know the mobile ones charge anthing from 50 quid upwards.Best garage i ever used was laughing horses in wootton bassett, they are near sainsburys( if its still called that), down a little dirt track on the left hand side...he will give you free quotes and is a marvel..helped me a lot when i got stuck on my car and sometimes did work for free or for a pittance...His name is Keith.If you ever go there..tell him i sent you.He will remember me as i was always going there for help and advice.LOL.He is very well recommended and doesnt bullsh1t you either.If you just need help with diagnoseing a prob..he will help you.He will fit parts that you get yourself aswell.
