V6 RANGIE
« on: December 29, 2005, 18:51:08 »
:evil:

Drove my beautifully running but leaking V8 EFI Rangie to work today and changed the offending leaky valley (inlet) gasket and now I suddenly have a V6.....

No matter what I try 2 and 8 will not work :x  :shock:  :evil:  :twisted:  :cry:  :(

At first I thought inlet leak but would that not affect more than just 2 & 8??

I know it's 2 & 8 because unplugging the injectors or pulling the leads off makes no difference but the other six do so it's like  :D  :shock:  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :shock:

Injector supply is pulsing according to my meter but that don't tell me if the injector is working does it, but can't see what I did ???

Any ideas as I am tearing my hair out, and I ain't got much

Merry Christmas !!

with the engine running try spraying wd40 around the inlet areas if possible and see if the motor picks up...

Check how you have routed the plug leads.

To check the injectors, disconnect them and measure the resistance across the terminals.

Try a vacuum guage, you may be able to detect an inlet leak if it's bad enough.

I'll have a think about this and see if anything comes to me.

Are you losing water?

Is there bubbles in the header tank when its hot (get someone to rev engine through all rev bands and check)

If these are hppening it could be head gasket probs
