360 spider won't rev when rolling

Interesting. The ABS fault wasn't previously mentioned but ofcourse like others have said if it was somehow 'sensing' phantom wheelspin (due to a fault) and sending messages back to the ignition ecu's via CAN bus that would definately cause the ecu's to react as if slip had been detected.

A possible easy check would be to simply disable ABS/ESR/EBD totally. Unplug the wiring loom to the unit, its in the front compartment behind the inspection panel on the left hand side. Ofcourse you'll get a light illuminate on the dash but it won't be able to send messages anymore so if it was doing something very strange it would stop immediately.

This is well worth checking as soon as possible and reporting back...

mike996 had a great suggestion in another thread:

So this pretty much eliminates ABS as being the root cause.

Did you ever try to swap over the ecu's? Left to right?

Obviously replace the clutch switch first but I'm really beginning to think there is something wrong with one of the ecu's.

If you had access to someone else with a 360 spider, you could verify this by swapping over the (2 of) ignition ecu's and behind the seats the immobilizer and wireless reciever boxes (2 of) with the donor car, then use their remote to unlock and start the car...

This method requires no use of SDx's or anything else but just takes a bit of time but it would allow you to eliminate (or not) if they are the cause.

Roger, I rechecked mine and I owe you an apology (and possibly $40).

You are correct, this is a binary switch and indeed the resistance is either 0 or infinite, and voltage is either 12 or 0, neither is variable.

Not an excuse but being fresh and in the daylight made the difference. Turns out I was to hasty to interpret my analog meter rising and falling with pressure/release of the pedal and did not do proper diligence to verify I could actually get a constant reading between 0 and infinity.

(360+volt's stock plummets! )

What's next? Take it to a bonafide dealer?

Thanks for the feedback. That matches the obd data data I got.

Keep us posted on the solenoid. Do u have the workshop manual?

So Dean from the UK didn't have any more advice?

 

Sounds like double talk:

Best you get back onto Dean in Nottingham as he is an acknowledged expert on these cars in the uk. What he tells you will be spot on, so have faith.

 

Get onto the factory and tell them the aussy dealers cant help.That should help you get a reaction

 

They have a technical assistance e mail, not sure if it is for tech info like manuals or actual help

 

Roger have you reached out to Rifledriver or FatBillyBob via PM or email.
There are also other F car Techs here but I don't know their names.
