The other day i drove my car for the first time, properly, and did a six or so mile loop just about.
The car started popping and losing power momentarily and i just made it back onto the driveway. It was fine when cold but when it got hot the above started. This morning i turned the key and it fired up straight away so i pulled it out of the garage for a check over. I took the plugs out, they were slightly sooty and gaps are at 0.60mm on ngk bp6es iirc. When it was back together the bloody thing would not start at all. Lost my cool, nearly, and pushed it back in the garage. Tonight i tested the coil and there is a good blue spark on the test plug. so i'm thinking the coil and electric ignition module in the distributor are fine. My fuel pump is up under the tank and that is running no problems. My next check is to see if fuel is getting to the carbs, i find it odd that despite the pump running and plenty of fuel the plugs were not flooded or even wet in any cylinder. My first thought when it limped home was fuel evaporation but i'm not so sure now. More checks to follow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
