ChrisB Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I have an intermittent ticking coming from the solonoid under the bonnet its a really fast tick it also happens when the igniition is on but engine not started, is this normal or is it broke? its the sbcid III if that makes a difference Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCharlesworth Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I've got a blitz dsbc on my pulsar. It makes the ticking sound too, but only when it's registering boost and on a channel where the duty is set above 0% (obviously) Perhaps you have a faulty boost sensor that sometimes reads a little boost while the car is idle, causing the solonoids to start to cycle?

ChrisB Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 doesnt sound good does anyone know much about these on supra's how can i check if the boost sensors are ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 When you come over tomorrow Chris you can try mine if you want? If it still does it then you know if it's normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I had this happen to mine once - when I had relocated it over towards the turbos and the unit got very hot The solenoid was ticking away (it always does but over the sound of the engine you normally cant hear it) even when the engine was off I suggest you relocate it away from anywhere too hot, reset and re-proramme it in and check it still all works by running with it switched to the 'off' posuition and then back on!

ChrisB Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 Cheers Paul will give this a go but it looks like its well away from hot stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Nice bay there m8 - that was where mine was located - and unless your turbos are somewhere else that is one hot place!! However a thought - it may be that the length of the hose run (which thay recommend as being as short as possible - or can cause boost spiking) may have residual vacuum in it May be an idea - I phones Blit on this and they had no idea - but to send it to them for testing - but it never happened again Can you locate it down by the induction and infront of the heat shield?
