Yesterday was the first rainless if cold at 4’C day.
The Caddy’s refurbished ECU was delivered the day before.
So I got going in refitting the Throttle position sensor which despite being awkward was not that bad to do.
Clever move (for me at least) to use a bit of masking tape to help seat the back, out of sight allen bolt.
Followed by cleaning out and washing the complete scuttle area as there was no ECU in the way.
A good place to start from when refitting it.
Much better.
Of course nothing is ever quite as easy as it looks.
Mounting bracket really let the rest of it all down.
Just not good enough after all the effort.
So it was time for the 115mm grinder with a 125mm flap disc, followed by some more vigorous wire brush action.
Amazing how much aluminium oxidation there was.
Much better.
Better than it looks
A quick wipe down and then some grey primer to hopefully give a basis for the satin black finish.
Primer.
Satin black
Refitted
Home made cover over it all.
Started it (on video)
Runs
Throttle working.
Silly grin.
Closed up scuttle area
Kept under dash open so that I can take it back to Cliffs to reset or delete the faults it had shown.
Also reconnected this one wire that was dangling around.
A switch associated with the clutch pedal.
No idea if it was disconnected before I removed the throttle sensor.
But I connected it anyway.
Any ideas?
Thanks as always for your replies.
