a.craw4d Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Do or can efi engines flood? Our altezza sometimes can be a bitch to start if you get it wrong the first time. If you accidentally release the key just before it starts ( and I mean split second before it bursts into life), it then takes a lot of cranking and spluttering before it'll start again. Before I got a decent battery it would run out of start juice first. I know this sounds a bit retarded but when you're so used to a car you sometimes release the key when you know it would've normally started, being distracted by kids and running on auto pilot doesn't help. Anyway this morning it happened to the misses in her demio, she took the other car and I tried it about half an hour later. It took a lot of cranking but eventually came back to life. Has since restarted fine each time. Anyone had this happen to them before? Any suggestions? Would cleaning or replacing plugs help? Cheers people.

a.craw4d Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The Altezza only does it when I fuck up starting it so lose of fuel pressure could be the cause there. Doesn't explain what happened to the demio though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Don't think so. I'll pull the plugs out later but I don't really know what I'll be looking at/ for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Well to answer your question yes efi cars can flood. Plus I have deff seen demios flood. But they usually have fucked plugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If you are capable when you have the plugs out either unplug the injectors or remove the fuel pump fuse and crank it over for some time to clear out the cylinders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 They'll often have a flood clear mode where you crank with your foot to the floor. Even if they don't have that they'll usually clear themselves pretty quick, just be quick to release the pedal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajg193 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Foot to the floor should definitely put it in the flood clear mode. EFI cars dump in extra fuel on cranking/startup and if you give up just before it starts it will increase the risk of flooding. Jane's grandma bought a new car a few years ago (brand new Jazz) and just moved it in and out of the garage when she needed to get stuff out and it ended up flooding and wouldn't start again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have a central locking solenoid that I am trying to figure out the wiring on. It has 5 wire going into it, black, yellow, blue, blue and yellow, blue and white. The blue wires trigger the solenoid, blue is the 12V feed, earthing through blue and yellow or blue and white will make the solenoid go up/down. What the fuck are the black and yellow wires for? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 They are the position triggers, they connect back to a control box that then triggers the other solenoids if you manually actuate the master solenoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Bear with me, I'm not too familiar with them plus I'm missing all of the electrical wizardry in the middle so I'm not even sure of what I'm missing So all the solenoids have these black and yellow wires, if I can trigger the solenoids with the blue wires are the others to stop unnecessary actuation if the lock is already in the desired state?

tortron Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 A 5 wire one is basically master switch. So when you lock or unlock the driver's door, one of those wires will send it's up or down signal to the control box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hmm, master is definitely 4 wire, front passenger is 4 wire (only locks, doesn't open), rear doors are 5 wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 My sedan sure did. But I fail to see why it would use a different wire to achieve? Wonder if its something to do with child lock?

kicker Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 330 Cedric Yeah I don't get it, I might just make a new loom using the wires I know haha I tested one of those universal kits and it didn't have enough beef to move the mechanism completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
