Vida question..knock knock..

Post by darrylrobert »

Took me a few hours but i now have Vida. I can see alot of fault codes that wasnt showing with my scan tool. I have both knock sensors with fault codes at some stage, but when there no dates, the time of fault is greyed out. anything i need to set.

Could a faulty knock sensor be causing my hot start problem

Clear all the codes, drive the car, see what comes back.

Knock sensor failures are really rare, and won’t cause starting- problems.

The only knock sensor failure I think we had here was a broken wiring harness

In the year or two up to changing the electrical side of my ignition switch, I got a few knock sensor codes with some sporadic rough running. Could be ignition switch electrical side on the way out. How many miles on the electrical half of the ignition switch?

To set up your screenshots to automatically save to OneDrive, right-click the OneDrive icon on the taskbar and select Settings. Then select the Backup tab and under the “Screenshots” section check the “Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive” box and click OK.

To take a Screenshot use the [PrntScrn] key.

Works a lot better then trying to take a picture of your screen with a phone. Less work then cut and paste from the clipboard.

On Mac use CMD 4

Then you can use the cursors to just grab the picture you want, and then no one else will see your pornography tabs.

On a related topic, I don't see the Volvo DICE sold on ebay any longer.

If you go to ebay and enter "Volvo DICE", the usual device (shown in the photo in the 1st thread above) is no longer sold on ebay.
The DICE was usually on sales for about $75-$90 or so.

Here is an example of the search result:
