74 2.0 D-Jet. Car is in a fine state of tune. Verified fuel pressure at 30 PSI. Removed distributor, cleaned & lubed advance plates and tested vacuum canister. Verified TPS is set correctly. MPS tested fine. ORIGINAL fuel injection harness. I went around the engine bay today and re-seated all FI related connections. The injectors are in unknown condition - came with the car.
This is different than the bucking I used to experience. I intermittently have a cylinder drop off. It happens at all speeds, but is really noticeable at idle. I had it running for a while in my driveway tonight and the exhaust fumes spelled especially "gassy." When it's not missing, it runs fantastic and idles perfectly. I think I have a fuel injector going bad. Can they fail intermittently? Anyone else experience something like this? I figured I would just pull all four injectors, run the fuel pump and measure the fuel...but I'm not sure I could find the faulty one if it functions correctly during the test. Pretty boring video (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Engine starts running rough intermittently at :40 (engine bay sound) and 2:07 exhaust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQoMS-NeOag...eature=youtu.be Any advice is appreciated. |
