  1. Ive read a billion posts with everyone saying that one pops off heaps so when I think I done the right thing but either left the pipe loose or didnt tighten enough I feel like a ripe idiot haha.
  2. Alrighty about 98% progress. So I had found a service manual and read through the diagnostics ford would follow for the fg in regard to turbo. Basically all things pointed to a faulty sensor or a boost leak again. As im about to take a look at the map Idecided to give the bov a pull on the pipe and the throttle body pipe poked its head out like nothing. Cleaned it up, performed a pcm reset and now its driving angry again albeit slightly off but boosting hard. Will do a oil change because it used 130km of fuel from 40km of driving in the last day so no good. My mistake? I guess originally there was a boost leak after I done the battery change and when I spent a good 6 hours slowly going through the intake system, changing the spark plugs and losing/getting sockets stuck in the bore I was inclined to make mistakes. Once I got everything back on and ready to fire up I forgot to plug in the MAP which stalled it and from there on I didnt think anything off a obvious lose pipe even though the error codes I was receiving can be related to it. I plan on doing a boost leak test to try find other leaks to try get it 100% and also have a look at the manifold and check for anything else that's possibly loose. My backgrounds obviously nowhere near mechanical so hopefully their is a few simple lessons that someone else might learn from this experience :). thankyou for all the replies as well much appreciated. If I find anthing else that transforms the car back to 100% ill add to this as well. cheers
  3. Thankyou for the reply. I was just making sure there wasnt another sensor on the charge pipe that I couldnt see as I see people refer to it as the map sensor and the fault refers to boost pressure sensor. Ive changed out the battery to a supercharge gold and changed over the solenoid and still nothing on boost. I'm going to clean the map sensor and also try a different bov. Failing that I will try a boost leak test but im also interested to see if the wastegate is actually seizing considering that had come up as a fault as well. Sorry I havent had alot of time to follow up with my findings but im determined to get to the bottom if it if nothing more for someone else that might come across this.
  4. Sorry I just wanted to clarify the direction. I think I got it right but I also now have a spare solenoid to test. So that boost pressure sensor is just before the bov. I didnt know if that was a map/maf
  5. Ive got not doubt about some of the truth to it :). I Have a further 2 questions. 1. Is The boost solenoid compressor line to the solid metal tube (inlet) and the plastic tube (outlet) to the wastegate? 2. Boost pressure sensor do they exist in the FG and if so is it located just above where the charged pipe meets the intercooler(battery right hand lower side)? Thanks once again for the replies guys. Love these cars and wealth of knowledge on this forum will help in the future for this car no doubt
  6. Lol I dont remember writing that but im happy to go replace it. Way better than chasing my tail lol
  7. Thankyou for the reply Keith. My apologies if the post was a little hard to read, I just blurted everything out that came to mind but I was also tired lol. The stalling has started literally since the battery change. Im thinking I will do a boost leak test on it as well but my thought was it could be related to low power with injectors/zf when shifting to reverse from lack of alternator power. I have to admit I did do a bit of reading across here and seen people discussing earthing issues causing problems as well but would the easiest way be to check if the earthing wire is getting hot? In reg to the solenoid well I felt I had read the procedure to clean it out through wd40 in the plastic end. Easy fix ill grab a new solenoid but I was also going to try just run gate pressure to see if indeed ive got a potential wastegate issue.
  8. Hi all, Long story short my mrs was cleaning her car last saturday and when she tried to take it out of the driveway BAM engine immobiliser warning etc etc. I knew immediately it would be a flat battery so I went to supercheap and grabbed a new century 640cca slapped it in and though nothing else of it. So the next day the mrs drove it to work and said it felt down on power and stalled when pulling up to lights and when reversing into our driveway. So my immediate thought was a possible boost leak, so I drove it around and notice the bov (50/50 turbosmart)was not active at all unless stepping on it but all I had was a giant dosing falcon. The mrs then drove it and it went into a low powered limp mode with a cel. First code was a b1318 low voltage and then a boost sensor code p023d(may have been me unplugging the map when having a quick look over the intake). Just spent the day pulling apart the intake and charge pipes to check for abnormalities, doing the wd40 clean on the boost solenoid and also changing all the spark plugs(really made thinga difficult with the spark plug closest to the firewall socket getting stuck). Done a relearn in and went for a drive. Still have some sh*tty idle when free revving( it drops and comes close to stalling in reverse) and I have 0 boost although still driveable. I checked the codes and got p1128 wastegate stuck open p0328 boost sensor a high between two drives. Im a bit lost on what to do but my two main problems are: 1. No boost which I think could indicate the solenoid had sh1t itself or the wiring to the solenoid(im guessing p0328 boost sensor is the solenoid) 2. Idle and stalling which I think may be alternator related I will be using a multimetre to get another readout As its not my daily I thought everything was hunky dory although the mrs said it was running a bit rough if she didnt let it warm up in the morning and I thought ok fair enough problem just some routine ignition and injector servicing might fix that. I just cant believe a battery faults turned into this lol. Any helps would be highly appreciated
