have had a play this morning.

basically.
fuel pump primes and desnt if i disconnect fuel relay s i presume thats k.

have high pressure at either end of fuel filter, but on a dribble at tp of metering head and at injectors.

car will only start and runif butterfly under air filter is held down but 10mm.
car will nt start with cold start discnnected.

s i am presuming a metering head fault.

anyother things to check or change.

plugs and leads all look ok so does dizzy cap and rotor arm.

help please its doing my nut in.

thanks

 

Can you get it to run at all to check co ?

 

it will run, but only with the buterfly pushed in, without it the car just revs up on throttle but seconds later dies again.
cant see how co could have changed, was fine yesterday morning.

 

check all boost and breather pipe are secure and the dipstick is pushed in properly

 

all seems to be.

 

does the flap move up and down when u crank the engine???

 

will check that. on my own now so will do when mate cmes round.

anything else guys???

 

physicaly re-check all breather and boost pipes if u r on standard boost pipes check they aint split if u were closer i would come and give u a hand

 

cheers mate. I actually bought car from cleavdon, its a bit of a shed but its a project to do ver next few months, so trying to get it up and running properly before i start doing anything.

the wireing etc is pretty bodged and car needs general tidy up.

U may recgonise reg.. RHO 69G.

 

Does the flap move when you crank as said?

 

dont reconise the reg wot colour and wheels does it have

 

no. what does this mean, by my understanding of ke jet this means its got an air leak as n vacum to move the butterfly but i could be sucking on the wrong titty.

 

grey, far too low with polished standard wheels and manky paint

 

only 1 i remember had rs 7 spokes on it did u see if the flap moves

 

yes. see above. flap does not move!!!

 

air leak then

 

thats what i thought when i sat down and thought it through.
just gotta find the fucker now then.

any tips on finding air leaks?

cheers guys

 

Checkk all the boost hoses are on, then you could disconnect everything from the engine such as the brake servo etc, if you are running the standard breather set up even the engine itself has many potential air leaks.....

 

spot on.



bottom boost hose was split. changed and fine again, obo been like it a while as idle is now too high and its running rich. The spilt has obo got bigger.

cheers guys

 

Glad you sorted it
