Hey guys, today I was running a scan with the PP2000, no errors so far, but something caught my eye. The fuel ramp pressure seems a bit low, reading 0450 mb (is that mili bar?) on idle and falling bel... |

Well today I could finally check that plug. I found it, quite dirty inside so I guess it could it. I cleaned it and sealed it, so now I need some rain to check if it worked! That may take a while, tho... |

There must be water getting into a plug somewhere and shorting it. I haven't seen this exact problem before though!

Yes, I know what you mean. The same happened here but more recently. Petrol was really cheap until the late 80's. Then it started to go up. And now, when oil goes down worldwide, it's still growing. S... |
