New M100(new to me) review of my files please

[mini55]

Hello all
Over the last winter I bought the wife an M100 which is of unkown condition to me. It came off a transport in the best time of year for us, it was 28 below zero! We left it in the storage building for the next five weeks before we drove it home. It had a completely dead battery when we picked it up and used a start box to get it going. We have had a number of check engine lights since pickup and that is why I have maded a couple runs with Elanscan. I know with a flat battery everything in the ecu gets reset and there may not be any issues. I just would like to start with a baseline.
The car has a number of goodies on it from its previous owner, early Top End Performance items which seem to work well. Larger exhaust and muffler with no cat. Precat is untouched.
I am not sure if I have captured the files correctly or not. I am including a few with my post. If I have not done correctly please bare with me and thanks for any input which you might provide.
This is a second M100 to us but has been a number of years between. Last one was sold to Jack Lee, fubar and now has past into parts land.

Mark,

Welcome back to Elan ownership. The .ecu files are the ones to post - the datasets are just dumps of the memcal PROM - you appear to have a standard 9949 Californian and I assume there are no issues.

It looks like your thermostat is stuck as the temperature is only getting to 70-75°C rather than 80-85°C. Definitely worth replacing as your target idle isn't down to 950RPM - you may notice the idle speed varying.

There is an "oxygen sensor lean" error saved and the O2 sensor output looks a bit flaky, so you may consider replacing it.

It would also make sense to check the base timing (check out the Wiki) as everything relies on this. Are there any perceived problems?

Geoff,

Thanks for looking the files over for me. I had looked down the list and saw somthing going on with the O2. The car really has no know issues at this time and as I stated earlier that we had a few check engine lights. When the light came on was after very hard run and once the light came on the car would drop lots of power. Shut it down and did a restart and all was clear.
I had purchased a new stat, as it never gets off C and I think that is an issue as I remember the ECU limits some operation when under operating temp.

Doug, you have a very good memory as Jack I am sure had talked about the shop. Yes still have the Elise but not the same as an M100, even if it is for the wife to drive. I will still sneek it out from time to time.

Been away from the site for a few years and wow has it changed!!! A great job to all and a big thanks for all the help. I will have to make a donation to the cash funds.

And Doug thoughts of an Evora?

Welcome home.
Please heed Geoff's advise - he's as mad as a mad thing but he's worth listening to - at least, when he's being serious.

Which isn't too often.
