Or this...

 

Yes, that shows the sensor is indeed plugged in teh coorrect way.

 

Not my pictures or my car by the way...

So in the second pic, Red lead on the left blue on the right.

 

Can you please confirm for me the following...

If you put the Crank at TDC on No.1 cylinder, look at the phase sensor, where should the 2 lobes be in relation to the phase sensor lobe?

 

what injectors have you got? and is it a 3 bar map sensor?

 

803's and a 3 Bar map sensor.

 

got to be fuel pressure have you tried screwing the fuel pressure reg up a bit ? i had same prob on my 2wd that was fuel pressure

 

Pressures fine, see earlier in this post

 

well if the fuel side of it all checks out ok , ..............does this problem happen from cold, and does it start ok from cold,in your opinion is it rich when cold or weak mixture[does it sound like you left the choke on too long or is it a bit fluffy]

 

the water temp sensor for the ecu have you checked the ohms reading when cold and when hot[these if knackered play havoc with injector pulse widths they can give the same symtoms as low fuel pressure ].......i aint got any more ideas but oh yeh ,on the coil it has push on connectors does it have a little black noise suppressor that links the coil live to the coil wire ,i have known these to break down an cause a weak signal to the coil if it does have one try bypassing it ........thats it im out of ideas let me know if you cure it

 

oh and as for adjusting fuel pressure regs i have done this loads of times on loads of cars including several cossies the only way to puncture it is to screw it right down and then some!!!!!..... weber supply these for all different types of cars same thing no bung , otherwise why have an adjuster at all why not a plain pressure reg?

 

One of the Danish Cosworth members has a problem like yours. He has been told that it is the ECU which needs to be replaced. Perhaps you can borrow an ECU from another Cosworth owner and try it in your own car.

m8 i had that problem and its the injectors i no ther greens but they can still fuck up try changeing injectors with anothers set.oh and if that dont work it the ecu but thats what it is {sorted}

 

Are you certain this is a L8?
If its a P8 then it may be in limp home mode.

 

Yes its an L8. Wd0.48 Red Label.

Did you get my Email? About the Dizzy?

 

Yes, i replied too.

 

See what you mean. Its got to be ok then.

Im running out of options.

Not having an Amal valve make any difference?

 

it could depending on how its been removed - what boost are you running - have you had a gauge on it?

did you say it was a red top one, ie, no lambda probe in to top of the turbo?

 

Im currently running 16psi, should be 22psi, although it did the same standard at only 11psi.

Yes it is a Red Top 4x4, with out the Lambda.
