I am considering getting this supercharged sambar that is everything I want. Supercharged, diff lock, a/c, 4x4, us title . but it’s got a strange problem. It’s got a check engine light and rough idle. Not sure if it drives I got a bunch of photos and videos so far. The engine running I don’t speak Spanish so could someone translate maybe what there saying in the video He sent videos proving all 4 compression test at 120psi it has 133k kilometers He says: it has new 14s, new seats, injectors cleaned and tested, o2 sensor replaced, new TPS sensor The check engine came on maybe because of the ethanol gasoline . I’m already using ethanol stabilizer . Piston compression is at 120psi on all cylinders
Gas with typical US <10% ethanol shouldn't trip a CEL... I would be replacing plugs, wires, cap, and rotor before I started messing with sensors and injectors.
Ok update he tells me It Has new spark plugs , oil Change , oxygen and tbs sensor replace. Sometimes black smoke comes out of the exhaust Gas burning to lean and that runs ad drives fine. The rough idle in the video is it in service mode here’s a video of it driving (idle sounds high but it was like 40° The day he made it) he’s asking 5500 and i does have a rust hole in the bed. What do you think
Why not just pull the engine trouble codes? It's just plugging the two green connectors under the dash together and then the CEL blinks out the codes.
$5500 for a rustly truck (nevermind an actual hole in the bed), blowing smoke of any color, and a check-engine light on is a hard NO in my book. They should be happy if they can sell it for $1k with all of those issues.
