Engine and Transmission / Re: Strange happenings with timing
« Last post by ereeiz on September 13, 2018, 01:41:06 pm »Got a ported throttle body? Or a dewedged one? I had issues when I dewedged my first one about 12 years ago. I've read a lot of people having hesitation issues with ported TB's. I just put it down to too much air causing lag (effectively). Not sure this would make it run badly though, I would imagine it just affects tickover on/off throttle response. If everything is definitely correct (timing, components working correctly, wiring all ok and not intermittently snapping) then it sounds like something mechanically adjustable. Maybe try a few bits off Neils car like ECU to see if that makes any difference?

i can adjust the afm to get it sensible but it runs terrible , really isnt right and doesnt like not being rich
tried an unmessed with afm and the same , makes sense why the o2 sensor makes it worse , its trying to lean it out and for some reason the car doesnt like it

I'm on with rebuilding a knackered CEG box as a temp atm so I wouldn't mind getting my head around it with this box then doing it on which ever new box I get for long term:-)

Photos and videos / Bit of fun, car spraying
« Last post by NealPeal on September 11, 2018, 03:21:58 pm »I did a bit of a video-memory of me and my Dad spraying the car
https://youtu.be/sEyH_FtCstM
Backed by a few songs I sing on, this is mainly CCTV from the front of the house...
My Dad is the sprayer, I just mix and move...
It was OK for 10 years (we sprayed it perfect before), then when it got covered in sand the clearcoat went pockled. Covered when next-door thought it made their drive look clean by just chucking sand on the bricks...
But it's always fun to work with my Dad, here's the proof

« Last post by NealPeal on September 09, 2018, 02:06:06 pm »This came up because there was a good change in acceleration on the day with the timing set with the it done it idle compared to held at 2kRPM. I was holding the revs up which gave it boost, but hesitation.. With special chips and big injectors and porting et al, really it needs to go on a dyno, even if just 2 minutes to set the timing. That PDF has quite a bit of nice generic info, worth a browse!
