vectra is good car :yes: we have opel vectra b 1.6 elegance also 98 felicia glx (we call vauxhall Opel in Turkey) diffrent tastes different pleasures for sure

Hope those are noticable for internals

thank you Phil recognize it now so i still recommend the same for problem

im assuming the favorit in this topic is not fuel injected when i wrote about dizzy here in Turkey you cant find one single favorit with fuel injection all of them are carburated (jikov lekr 28-30)

its probably caused by rotor in the distributor.(or distributor itself) i use LPG converted 1.3 felicia with carburator fueling and its very sensitive when it comes to ignition system thus i experienced so many situations. this summer when i press accelerator it began misfiring under load and a little firecrack sound probably from center exhaust side. from the experiences i thougt it was from spark plugs but after a good diagnose i found that the reason was rotor arm.

yes i have lpg conversion Here in Turkey most of the felicia owners(also others) converted their cars to LPG because of very very high gasoline prices. i have 1.3l 43kw engine not a fuel injected one so its very easy to convert a lpg system. my tank is 40liter located in spare tyre place in the trunk. so i can use evrey part of my trunk like before. in sequential gas injection systems LPG ecu acts as a piggyback unit also some brands are capable of acting like standalone. they pick up the injection pulse from gasoline injectors process it and use this for triggering LPG injectors simultaneously. changeover between LPG and gasoline is very smooth practically you can not feel it. cold start is always with gasoline the changeover occurs when coolant tempreture reaches an adjustable value in lpg ecu. at that point gasoline injectors are no more triggered but their pulse is used by lpg ecu to calculate the lpg injcetors pulsewidth. closed loop lambda control and any other sensor outputs are monitored by stock engine ecu any corrections simultaneously used by lpg ecu. stock ecu always thinks that engine is running with gasoline, so no problem in theory the most common problems here in Turkey is about workmanship. and the other one is calibration settings. if there was a calibration or workmanship problem usually emission control lamp came up. if you ignore it and continue using the car sometime later stock engine ecu changes the Long Term Fuel Trims. so it becames a problem to coldstart the car.(because LTFT values learned LPG based but engine coldstarts with gasoline) for your spi felica its not DIY able in my opinion you need old system like in my felicia. single point systems are also tend to backfire from intake manifold so anyway i know my english writing skills are not so good but i think you now have some idea about sequential lpg injection.

can you inform me a little more about changing them without removing the cover for cam followers ?

indicator stalk ? :confused:

yes i think it can be done. Because rev counter was a very cheap optional equipment in Türkiye. i remember services easily changed the big clocks in LX versions with GLX rev counters a year ago i took apart the instrument cluster. maybe pictures help for something Felicia ön konsolun sökülmesi-gösterge tamiri vs..

no no i've already changed the timing chain and sprockets sorry for misunderstanding. i mean it never overheated , never opened the cylinder head for a gasket or lineer change. engine is still original from factory just keep working fine with regular maintenace. thanks for your suggestion

hoops forgot to say its 1998 facelift felicia with jikov carburated 1.3 engine (135L 43kw)

Hi to all from Turkey I have noticed that when starting from stone cold (and also from warm when standing for minimum of approx. an hour) the oil pressure warning light takes a good 5 seconds to estinguish i'm using 20w 50 castrol GTX, car is in very good condition and well maintaned but i'm really worrying about oil pump gears.. :confused: odometer shows ~ 153.000km and never opened engine for a repair instead of valve clearence adjustments for 11 years .. any suggestions welcomed

Hi mate two years ago i've changed my chain in a garage. i was bought the set from a dealer and especially told them my car is facelift one with 1.3 carburated engine.(just like favorits in Turkey) nonetheless in garage we realised that crank side sprocket is wider in diameter than original crank sprocket which came from factory. there was a noticable offset which forces chain to move sideways. with the help of vernier caliper we have found that crank sprocet only worn 0.01 mm. so we decide to use it again. hope yours is correct part. may be its a chain kit for favorits

it'll be a strange idea but you may try to heat up the timing chain and sprocets in oven and try to install it again using a pair of gloves ?

2.4 ~ 2.5 liters needed dont over fill. may leak or act like retarder and force engine not to run as free as it need underload
