black plastic fuel thing???

Recommended Posts

sorry guys i dont know what it is.

 

its the thing that all the pipes run to,mounted on the drivers side strut tower,pipes run from it to the c/cannister i think?

 

anyway,today i noticed that as soon as i touch the throttle,it clicks?

 

is it supposed to? i never noticed it before.

 

cheers,neil. :)

id rather sort it if its not right,the car does seem to be heavyish on fuel if thats anything to do with it or not i dont know?

 

c/o and timing are spot on and so is the lambda probe.

cheers m8,it clicks as soon as i touch the throttle,even just a little,still ok?

 

will i need to reset the c/o mixture if i remove the c/cannister?

15-20 around town is right on the money as far as i can tell, g-man reckons an sns chip will see it improve. so i think im going to order one up as soon as i can work out how to worka multimeter and set up the copot!!

I was cruising back from halifax after a VeeDub show and i was getting 42mpg that was cruising at 50mph. Motorways i get around 28-37 and round town its approx 25. I dont think that is bad at all considering how thirsty a G60 is.

 

Oh yeah that is running on a SNS chip. No pulley yet though!!!
