I went over to DougC's house after work today. We did some checking on his CIS system on his 2.7S motor. Nice install. The airbox was modified using AUDI parts so that the factory engine latch could be retained.

I started with the basics. Spark was there and strong. Checked the timing by taking out #1 plug and feeling for compression, then checking to make sure that the rotor was pointed at the #1 wire. No problems there.

Pulled one injector and with the key on, raised the sensor flap. Yep.. we got fuel spray.

Put the plug back in and hooked the wire up. Put the injector back in. It fires and runs for about 30 seconds then dies. I wait 30 seconds and try again. It does it again.

It was then I noticed that the metal fuel return line under the battery was plugged with a bolt... But no fuel is leaking out.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)


I look, and the accumulator is off a later car, and there are 3 fittings on it. The return line is plumbed into the back of the accumulator, and it goes no where else.



Well..... that will make the car run a bit rich!!!!!!


Doug is going to Stuart hose on Saturday to get a new line made. It was too short from the accumulator to the fuel distributor anyway.



I came home and watched Mythbusters. I had to watch, they were firing large caliber firearms into a swimming pool to test the myth that diving into a pool will keep you from getting shot. Even a .50 caliber sniper rifle would not hurt you if you were 3 feet underwater. All of the high velocity, supersonic rounds self-destructed on impact with the water. But the solid lead 9mm pistol would hit you 9 feet under the water!!!


After the show, I got off my lazy butt and finished reassembling my six after fixing the clutch. It only took about 45 minutes, and I was able to fire it off.


Took it out and drove it around the block. All is well here.

BTW.. I am no longer a redneck..... 4 out of 5 cars that are at my house run!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)
