Started the car today after swapping the fuel lines round as Id got them mixed up lol :doh: at first it idled ok and rev'd ok to around 3k so I left it to warm up a while, gave the throttle a few blips and it sounded like it was missing.

The car hasnt had a proper run for quite sometime, its actualy been off the road for nearly 2 years but had been started at regular intervals. First I compression tested it by removing a plug at a time to do so, the plugs were black as the ace of spades so with no shops being open I gave them a clean and popped them back in, test came back at around 100psi across the 4 and also oil pressure seems to be fine.

Also to note I've recently changed the fuel tank, could I have an air lock in the fuel system causing the miss? I flushed and renewed the coolant today too if that could make any differance at all!?

Going to fire some new plugs in there tomorrow and see if they help just wonderd if anyone on here had any thoughts, last time it sounded like this the oil pick up had blocked and resulted in a full rebuild!!

i reckon the plugs will cure it,my xr2 did exactly the same after it had been sitting over the winter and new plugs cured it, fingers crossed

Mr Shannon

Mine was missing and running dog rough when I ran 95 octane through it. Is it fresh fuel?

Mr Shannon
