I know, scary aint it!
I reckon a majority of BX's are all pickled in the same places now, it's just no-one ever pick's the underseal away to find out about it.
Even more scary is that it pissed through an MoT the day before it was parked up! It's done 36 miles since the MoT last August...

the operating speed or more importantly the refresh speed of the Motronic unit is rather large, its only like 65 times a second, hence ALL motronic units MUST HUNT. If it doesn't hunt, its broken, nuff said, and bung a capacitor in accross the rev counter and it will smooth the guage out no end. Capacitors are wonderful things.

Erm, I know my GTi is not a valver but it has the Motronic 3.1 and this idles dead smooth at 900rpm!Vanny wrote:the operating speed or more importantly the refresh speed of the Motronic unit is rather large, its only like 65 times a second, hence ALL motronic units MUST HUNT.

The only time it 'hunted' was before the injectors were serviced, since then it has been very smooth & balanced.

W2G is quite correct, 3.1 was fitted on a rather large number of cars aside from the 4x4.
My car doesn't have 3.1 though, and it isn't broken. It's not difficult to make the car idle smoothley, mine isn't quite as smooth as it can be, but then most of the exhaust is sat in the boot right now, and that doesn't help.
Once it's all finished it should be perfect.

Well i've got no record of them being fitted to BX's other than the 4x4, they where fitted to various ZX and 405, unless i'm thinking MP4.1, either way thats given me some ideas.
MAPI (and dizzy less ignition) is remarkably more reliable than an AFM based system, but it's not without its down sides. I have considered in the past getting a complete MAPI based ystem, fitting to the valver and remapping, but its not a viable option, not when i can get a completely mappable ECU for £80!
chris youve got 1.3 have you not? or are you on mp4.1? the options are endless!

Erm , mine has the two row ECU, which I thought was the 1.3, but going by W2G's table mnakes it the 4.1??
I duno, it's the two row, no knock sensor and has always been very reliable *touches anything nearby thats wood*

Still doesn't explain how a totally unchipped, un buggered about with D6C is putting out 172BHP at the flywheel though!

Nope! Secret weapon dude
Anyway, another fun filled day on the farm......not.
I had one of those moments today when I just thought "shit I really wish I hadn't bothered with this"...
But hey ho...
Anyway... the fuel tank and rear subframe are now out, and some remedial work of the rot that abounds EVERYFUCKINGWHERE underneath.
So tomorrow I could have done the front to rear HP pipes in relative comfort, except I cant find any 4.5mm pipe, anywhere... so that may have to wait a few days whilst I crack on with removing the remaining rot, painting and waxoyling the entire underside of the car, seam sealing everything I feel like and doing the front to rear fuel pipes....
Another NO budget movie of the remains of the car...
Blood hammered out and jammed jim, SHIT! tightened that bad sucker side the runway like a mother, huh, SHIIIT!
