Just done a head job on a 3 ddor cossie, 16 new valves, new dizzy cap , new leads, plugs, rotor arm.......

The car starts off the key no bother. Valve timing is 100% spot on. Compression is around 130/ 140 across all 4 cylinders and the spark is very very good.

The car is reaking black suit out the exhaust asif it is overfueling and missfires quite badly, put new plugs in it and take them out after only a few seconds running and they are suited up jet black. Tops of the pistons are wet with fuel too.

Its got t38 turbo on it and grey injectors. Is this correct?

Any help appreciated. Its doing my head in!!!

 

Good chance you have broken the pipe ff the map sensor or forgot to plug the CTS back in.

 

cts mate?? There is only 2 pipes going to the amal valve also and there should be thre but that was like that when the car came to me. Where should they go. Where is the map sensor?
Im only really clued up on rs turbos and know that its in the ecu on that

 

CTS = colent temp sensor. it would not have run very well if it did not have a map sensor its got a 3/4 pin sensor with a take off pipe that connects to the inlet

 

the coolant temp sensor is the blue plug at the far end of the head on the inlet side, thats connected. Defo connected. I will check the map sensor tomo when i get to the garage, i would like to know where the pipes for the amal valve are ment to go if poss?

 

barry the map sensor is on the left hand side at the side of the plenum facing upside down i sprayed the bracket silver also next to the water tankwill show you tommorow

 

by the time you get in mate il have a 1.8 t/d out an old p100 in it ......much easier lol.......... Clearly somethin simple....just finding it

 

heres a picheres a pic before all the work i have arrow it so easy to find


its right next to the throttle against the body its painted silver on a u shape bracket upside down(thats they why the come:S)3 bolts to take it of if need be?should be a pipe the size of one on the top of a dump valve in black

 

Right thats cool... See the two pipes...one from actuator and one from turbo, they go to amal valve but that still leaves a pipe missing from it. Any ideas anyone?

 

that come from the standard airbox so its not required because it has the filter from the turboi asked a few people so dont worry about that buddy

 

When I started the new engine in my 4x4 for the first time after the re-build it was running rough, checked the cts and all looked ok but after taking a few meter readings from the ecu I found that it was at fault! on closer inspection (peeling the rubber boot and wires back) i found one of the wires had broken when i took the loom off.

 

I have another ecu i will bring it down also baz

 

the wires on the coolant sensor plug or at the ecu side of the loom mate?

 

Check CAREFULLY the phase alignment, if it is not with the scribe mark dead in line with the rotor arm it will overfuel massively, only needs to be one notch out to do it, may just need a slight turn of the dizzy and all will be well.

problem cured , thanks for all your help people. map sensor pipe was off the inlet manifold....doh!!!!!

 

thanks for helping Barry it was my car and big thanks to Stu you must know my car inside out and you havent even seen it in the flesh yet:L:L:Lonce again big thanks
