Moderators PTR200S Posted August 22, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Just spent the last hour trying to get the Coupe started Unbelievable in that everything was ok last night... just needed some fuel ready for an airport run tomorrow. Got in and went through usal startup procedure, D4 out etc and it turned over, coughed and that was it. Checked all usual bits that might have dropped off, all ok, turns over healthily but suspect fuel failure problem, seem to remember reading this somewhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted August 23, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Been upside down for half an hour trying to get the blasted fuel pump relay out, cant even get connectors off to see why the relay wont move. Twisted pulled pushed, used screwdriver to no avail, just can't understand why it wont move. Couple vids on yt dont help either. Anyway, left it in disgust, i have some paint to watch dry now. maybe more inclined to try it again.. this weekend perhaps ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston we have a problem You could try removing the 10mm bolt holding the bracket least then it will be a little more accessible for manhandling it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted August 23, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Not at all m8y, hope its the relay then again, if it's the new version which I've fitted to other cars and it's got an even shorter lifespan than the old version eeeek 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 23, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Opened it up and it "looks" ok under the magnifying glass.... its a siemens vrm 0022... Looks almost new... Taken pics so will look at those and see if i can spot anything. the bottom left group of three looks suspect but everything else looks ok? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 23, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 That's the older version m8y so that's a good thing in one way, regardless of appearances I would resolder all the connections and see if the motor fires up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldered up the offending terminal, put it back and............... it fired up !! If it does it again at least I can get it out of its position and go over all the solder just in case but just doing the one suspect proved the case. Thanks for your help and guidance Stu, once again, appreciated. (man thing only!!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member PaulS Posted August 23, 2017 Founding Member Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Congrats on doing your relay after all that effort.... I am sure your heart fluttered a bit when teh engine finaly fired up! I watched Stu changing my relay - 10 mins and it was swapped. Knowhow really helps..... Just to make you more jealous, today I changed my rear brake discs & pads and fixed my rear RH caliper that was sticking - nice smooth sliders now. Only 2 problems - getting the disc holding screws out (impact driver and a big hammer) and failing to get the LH caliper piston to go back far enough even with a good caliper rewind tool , the piston turned and turned and was oh so close for about 30 mins but took serious effort to get it on the pads. Oh, and I also adjusted up my handbrake too. And polished up my nearside headlight lens a bit more... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowhow really helps..... It does indeed and now " I know" and "How hard" it ISN'T to do but when you are upside down not sure what you are looking at ..... Reckon it took me a couple of hours on and off including research ( Stu!) and checking around the forums...plus soldering it up etc ...should have managed in a quarter of that time but now I know what I am looking at....... interestingly Stu appeared on Typeaccord in 2012 talking about it !! Top man ! Also discovered that its a standard part in a lot of other Honda too, Civic Acura, including my S2K... which would have been stripped for the part if I couldn't repair the existing one! Amazon.com (U.S.) supply them but not to the UK and Amazon .co.uk list the part but have "no stock" Lings have them in stock but at a BIG price. nearly 70 quid plus shipping and maybe plus vat... didn't check that far ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 23, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Strictly speaking this wasn't Coupé work but as it's "Upset Pete night" tonight, here goes! Front pipes, front box and back box changed (front bits were new, back box was used but inside like new and outside only dirty), propshaft centre bearing renewed, gearbox extension housing bearing and shaft seal diagnosed, ATF topped up. The Volvo is a lot quieter (and livelier) now and the twin tailpipes look great! Photos to follow soon in the correct thread! Took me no time at all! Took my mate several hours though!

Andy Mc Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 On 19/08/2017 at 7:10 AM, PTR200S said: Other than the alarm problem everything ok now ?.. Cheers, but noooo! N/S brake started catching, then scraping and now grinding. Ignored the bit as i thought it'd be a bit of dirt that would shift or burn off. Yesterday however i was in the peak district and its making an awful noise. Something has scored an inch in diameter mark in the centre of the disc, then a centimetre gouge at the base along with something thin making a groove into the hub area. Theres a centimetre of pad left at least, so i figured it can't be that. Not sure if something has shifted or broken. Not had time to inspect further and away again this weekend so no time to get booked in. Has anyone else had this and are pads n discs readily available for this model as its looking like a change if anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 24, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Not good, Andy It might be the disk shield behind thats dropped off and got tangled in the pads / disks. Not unknown for a lot of cars to have this problem, they tend to rot off the mounts for fun Or maybe you ran over something that got stuck in there....must have been making a hell of a squeal !!!! You need to investigate properly and quickly too before anymore damage is done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 24, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 That's bad luck sorry to hear, but something trapped is not unheard of parts are readily available aftermarket but very few cheap options though, the main ones you will see are Japanse brands, blueprint, Nippon ect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
