Are you trying to put your name down nb?

No quite a relief tbh, want to get back on it but I don't think she will be too happy if I had my head under the bonnet tomorrow

The butterflys only open when the throttle is depressed. So these vacuum hoses are important for idling. Explains why to start it I have to depress the accelerator pedal slightly.

Not burning any oil or blue smoke. Took it for a run today, read a few posts that they tend to run rough when idling but fine when driven. Sounded spot on round the lanes, didn't give it the full beans but alot better. Idling still rough. Looked into the engine a bit more and now I understand how the whole idling process works. There's an idle control valve that let's air into the throttle bodies when idling, a split vacuum hose can cause lack of air going into the chamber hence no bang or lack of bang. Will look into it over the holibobs

I saw what you did there

Well changed the injector, still the same. Took the plug out and it was damp, so fuel is getting there. Next step compression test. Not looking too hopefull tho

Yeah before combustion, 4 throttle bodies linked together. Might turn it over tomorrow then take the plug out and see if it's wet or not

That might be because it's nor firing properly tho

Something is up because the butterfly on the throttle body is a different colour from the rest

Yeah I can smell it. Still running rough changed the coil today no change. Taking the injector out tomorrow and replacing it. Failing that will have to try and take it to the garage so they can test it

Hahahahaha 2yrs Meant 2hrs Edit fucking autocorrect

Well tried to start it today, started but wouldn't idle. So I spent 2yrs taking the spark plugs out and they were all black so I cleaned them and put them back in. Started and idled but rough. 1 cylinder is definitely down, changed the lead cus couldn't see a strong spark. Still the same so I'm going to change the coil tomorrow. Bloody cars eh

Add your name below Leigh

Sound, let's get some numbers then

Sweet

Ok see if you can give me dates and go from there. Got a few months to sort it out

Could try and do 3 a year say

Looks quality, keen to get meet going on. Sundays are good for meets really but if it's not open is everyone ok for a Saturday meet?

Not at the mo think it's dropped a cylinder. Tried to go out in it today sounded awful

We gonna set a date? Thinking March April time should have the gta by then and might be warmer to use the 33 too (if I haven't totally destroyed it )

40s I think any lower and it will be really harsh, like driving my 33
