STRAW CLUTCHING AND BARREL SCRAPING
banditman:
My EFI 3.5 is still poo......very poo indeed
We have spark on all 8 cylinders, and as far as I can tell we have fuel (the limit of my deep technical diagnosis being that the fuel lines frost at all injectors as the vapour does it's stuff!)
Yet I haven't got 2 & 8 firing properly yet (know this because pulling 2 & 8 leads makes no difference to the sound of the engine, but the other 6 do!)
Anyone know what happens if you turn the airflow meter upside down whilst messing...could it cock it up? would it do what it's doing?
Back on about 5 & a bit cylinders now and bad knocking sounds coming from down below, none of which it did before I did the valley gasket...
Starts well though, so timing should be just about back where it was before I cocked that up......
Off for psychiatric help shortly.........
H:
are your leads in the right places Bandit? gis a shout if you want me to pop up later in the week (any night but wednesday) and have a look with you.

banditman:
Would be much appreciated H...haven't had the leads off so it shouldn't be that, but driving it last night and it smelt not right at all....
Problem is I have no shelter (but can do lights!)
Other problem is total ignorance of fuel injection......
I should be home about 6 ish any night so whenever suits you with your kind offer (let me know and I'll get the kettle on!) Even tonight if you wish...
Seeya soon

Many thanks to H for his kind offer of assistance :D
1 x duff HT lead replaced courtesy of my boot, and 1 x duff spark plug replaced courtesy of H's boot :oops:
Now I have 8 cylinders :oops: so I should never have automatically assumed I cocked it all up eh :evil: and done it all twice :shock:
Thanks H, gizza shout when you need assistance
(now possess new cap, new rotor, new leads and new plugs to put it proper right!)
