I cannot thank you enough for these videos. I was having random stalls (twice on the interstate, very scary). Once taking the two boards apart, I noticed a very weak solder on the fuel pump relay. After adding some solder to the failing piece I have not had the issue since.
No codes just intermittent cutting out while driving. Maybe check your wiring connector block etc to the fuse panel aren’t damp / have corrosion - in some cases water leaks into that area and people have problems
Cheers dude. It's had a timing chain and drove fine for 1 day then came back with no start . Customer thinks we f**ked it but the chain is fine. Typical they mad but I told them they bought a mini! Ha
Does the board need to be soldered back together or will it be fine if they don’t connect. I’m having a really hard time getting those pins soldered 4:56
they need to be connected. however if you cut the pins as I did and are having trouble, you could replace them. in the UK you can use 2.5mm solid core cable (ie mains cable, twin and earth), and the copper inner is similar to the original ‘pins’ that join the 2 boards. So remove all the bits of pins you’ve cut, and just solder the new ‘pins’ you cut from the copper cable. that way they are 1 piece ie don’t need to be joined in the middle. As it was my first time doing this I didn’t know any different but that would be easier.

that’s great to hear!
Can I ask why you had to replace that relay? Crank ,no start? What codes did you have? I've got fuel injection relay short to earth.
