my BSV stopped working(or was maybe disconected)

I'm asking as recently i have been having a lot of low turbo pressure problems(indications), usually getting a max of 0.4 withthe occasional climb to the heady hights of 0.6(tho this is VERY rare)

any ideas about what to check etcetc greatly appreciated


oh yeah, and another thing, where can us elan owners get a can of pray paint from and how do we know what the colour code is

lots of Qs again, but al answers appreciated

mick
now i have one, i just want to keep tinkering with it!!!!!!!

emmmmmmmmm 'pray paint' was that a freudian slip Mick? Re your turbo boost, are these gauge readings? Probably better to put ElanScan on it to get a better feel for whats going on.
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

although "pray paint" would be usefull i did of course mean "spray paint"

and as for the elanscan thingy, i dont have it, i dont know how to use it, to be honest, i dont even know where to plug the thingy in if i did have it

not much good am i?


oh yeah, it is the guage readings (checked the sender contacts, they seem good )

agree with your thought of the BSV not working

given dodgy electrical connectors are rampant in Elans, I'd say unplug and replug the connector a few times to get the connection cleaned up and then see if it helps. the connector is behind/under the intake trash can. :wink:
