Phew

Forum: 

Today I checked that the MAP sensor was conventional (ie 3 wires. 5 volt input, 0-5 volt output and a ground)

Which it is.

Anyway i had the ignition on, but MAP sensor unplugged so I could use my multimeter to check which colour wires were which.

Red = 5 volt input (was reading 4.93 volts engine off, so fine)
Blue = ground
Green = 0-5 volt output.

Vacuum Brake Bleeding

Forum: 

Is it possible to bleed solo, the brakes of a Fourtrak using a vacuum bleed kit on the bleed nipple of each wheel? I was wondering if it could damage the P & B valves? Because its a sucking rather than pressure action? Anyone got any experience of doing this?

I was told a vacuum bleed kit can cause damage to an ABS system, but is ok with servo assist systems.

Sirion 1300 using oil?

Forum: 

Hi there to all on the forum.
I have recently bought a 2002 Sirion 1300 which happens to be my first Daihatsu. It's a lovely car.

It did have a little sporadic problem with the engine running too fast but it was cured at the garage by cleaning the sticky carburetor.
