1.7 D-Jet
Engine was running just great until about two weeks ago, sigh. Now only fires on # 3 and # 4. I have cleaned every connection including all grounds. And I mean cleaned them good! The elecrical appears to be just fine. I get a good noid light at both # 1 and # 2. The injectors have tested just fine as well (I'm getting about 7cc in 15 seconds). I have 40lbs of pressure the 1,2 rail. The spark plugs are getting juice and fire. I have installed new points, cleaned the triggers (which shouldn't have mattered because of the sequence) and set the dwell. I'm a tad under at 44 degrees, but again shouldn't keep # 1 and # 2 from firing. The timing has to be close as it runs really smooth for just two cylinders. If I pull the power to injector 3 or 4, I get a real good drop and she will die. If I pull 1 or 2 - no change. If I add propane to the intake, I get a good response in higher rpm. I had originally traced to the Temp II sensor and it failed, so I replaced it. A new one seemed to be the fix, but only for a moment. I have good fuel, spark and air - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I'm STYMIED (or just a REAL DIPSHIT) |

Hadn't touched her in several days until this afternoon at lunch. The temperature/pressure has changed here quite a bit since then.
Upon start up she fired on all 4 and ran real strong. I could pull #1, #2 injectors and get a drop, could pull #1, # 2 spark and get a drop. Then as things warmed up or the PRESSURE dropped she went back to just running on #3 & # 4. Will check fuel filter, pressure regulator next week and advise. But I sure am pissed I can't drive her TODAY!!!!!!! |
