Anyone?

Had a few days to mess about and check a few things out, checked the throttle switch it is switch in two positions, throttle closed and WOT. and continuity is ok there, where does the wiring correspond on the ecu connector?

Tried the carb cleaner aroung the injectors and intakes manifold - no affect on the sound of the engine.

Car misses a beat no and again...could the coil pack be on the way out?

Decided to check the timing, brought the timing marks on the crank pulley together (that is TDC on piston 1 right?), but i couldnt see the timing marks on the flywheel, are they obvious when you seen them?

Changed the lambda on firday, hasnt made any difference to the rich running. Will try the following next:

Throttle switch - is that the black coloured unit on the bottom side of the throttle body? Also how can i test it?

Will try water around the the injectors and around the intake manifold.

Will let you know how i get on.

Hi there

Been lurking aroung for a while now, been looking for hints to sort my c out.

Bought this car back in january, been sorting things slowly, got the electrical things sorted (usual sunroof, wing mirrors etc), the guy i bought this off neglected the car a bit, so been sorting a few things as and when i can.

Anyway, been having problems with the car running rough and using too much fuel (approx 23mpg, checked with actual usage not mfa), So far i have changed with new parts:

Distributer and rotor arm

Ht leads

ISV - old one was knackered

Water temp sensor

Sorted the rough idle with the new ISV, but the car has a definate regular misfire which im having trouble tracing the source of the misfire, i've checked the vacuum hoses for cracks - none that i could find. The car starts fine but takes forever to start if it doesnt start first time, i get occasional smell of petrol too, kangaroos at low revs when slowing down.

I've no idea where to go from here, anyone got any ideas...

Thanks for any help
