So after re-habing the whole D-jet system including a beautiful Bowlsby harness and rehabing and checking ALMOST every other FI related part on my car fired it up a couple of weeks ago. Keep in mind I had driven my car for a couple of years with no major problems until my MPS went out.
Well just couldn't get the car to idle right and then it would stall and flood......besides I noticed it seemed to be running rich.......MPS right????? It is brand freaking new! Did I check all the vacum leaks.....Couldn't figure it out...spent hours after work at night in the garage, checking resistance on CHT ect ect......last night after no success I decided F...it I need to start over and check the parts I haven't looked at or tested yet....since the car ran great before....I figured I didn't need to. WRONG...WRONG.....WRONG... NEVER ASSUME that A PO has done something right! Started with the mechanics...compression...spot on 130 each cylinder...hmmmm fuel pressure...didn't have a gauge. Harbor Frieght 29 bucks. Fuel pressure......45 freaking pounds! That was it....idles like puss! Going to get a beer now. Moral of story: Be smart, and listen to and learn from others and don't assume the person before you did it right. Rob |
