Some of you asked about the S1 pictured here. It's been on the back burner for a while, but I started working on getting it running this week.
I picked it up last year from a guy who had installed a 16V engine from an '86, but was in way over his head electrically. I spent about a month rewiring the front of the car and sourcing correct boxes and sensors before I put it on the back burner to finish the RS. It hasn't been in service for over 10 years. I had to replace the gas tank, but it will now start and idle (roughly). I know the CIS-E system, but it's been a while. I did a differential pressure test on the distributor and got a control pressure that was HIGHER than system pressure. Logically, this shouldn't be possible. Any CIS-E gurus here? Attached image(s) |

I should have known better than to assume the last guy didn't get his hands in the ignition timing. My timing light broke a few months ago, so I hadn't done any checking.
This morning, I loosened the distributor and started screwing around. It's still coughing after ten years of sleep, but it's getting close. It idles almost normally and revs in an almost drivable manner. There are a number of things to complete before I can run it down the street, but I'm now expecting the Roc to exit the back yard for normal service within a few weeks. |
