Ok cool. Just to learn what's the reasoning of moveing it there. I'm guessing that's slightly advanceing the pump .

Cheers for your Time replying jim

 

Mine liked it like that.

 

It started better from cold than when below the centre line.  Also if you assume the belt will stretch slightly.

Ok thanks . Il give it a go see where its at and go from there then . Thanks for the advice

Jim

Had the car back on the vcds today and the timeing is advanced it was only about 80odd degrees temp but it was half way between top line and top of graph . So Il be adjusting it Friday morning see if it cures my problem.

Well Tuesday will be the test of cold start . Got it adjusted to just advanced of centre line no fault codes . One thing we did notice tho .theres no engine management light on the dash? It doesn't even come on with ignition? .are they the old bulb in back of cluster type or built in ?

Cheers Jim

Ok did a road test with airflow disconected and nothing came on dash? but it loged a fault code . Glow lamp works on start up tho?

Quite frankly it seems completely random as to whether any particular fault brings the coil light on.

Ok just thought it might be a bodge from a previous owner

Even going into limp mode doesn't bring the light on, but a dead brake light bulb will...

They're wired funny these cars .

Right .started fine ticked over lovely first hard ish rev dies. it dose restart but seems almost to misfire once its started its smooth and reves and drives fine ? Any help I'm on the verge of geting shot . Could the pump electrics be packing in? Trying to get it reread see if any fault codes are back

Jim

Fuel filter?

Its brand new got some air comeing in the pipe on and off but I dont think that's it . I'm clutching at straws now .

Had the reader on it and no codes ,wile we where running it it did faulter on a rev but dident cut out .it ok soon as its got some temp into it (nothing on gauge but warm air) changed cts made no difference set timeing with vcds and that's in speck . Is there any way with vcds to see what's going on with the fuel pump and related electrics ?

Cheers jim

Might have a brake through but not holding my breath , I decided to remove and clean the asv / egr unit . (egr disconected but asv working) but first out of curiosity I disconected the maf and first start from cold gave it a rev and normaly it would cut out but it dident? . Before I splash out and buy one. how do I check it with vcds and what figures should I see?
