its got a straight through exhaust n sns stage 2 chip with a stage 2 charger from jabber on it, doesnt need a cat as is before august 1992

 

anyone with any input please help!! n is there any adjusters anywhere that i could fiddle with!

cheers all

Something's wrong as they should run really clean being supercharged...

 

Does the oil smell of fuel? - if so change it and get the lambda checked out.

 

How quick does it feel?? could just need setting up

 

Clive Attowe in Norwich is a good place to go for diags / tuning etc

It's pretty damn flat at the min n stinks of fuel! It's been a project that I've been doing for a while n got all the parts from various people of here n eBay lol will probably get another lamba sensor n give that ago, what's the screw on the back if the throttle body for ?

I should really take it to some one like Clive atthowe in Norwich but need it moted to be able to drive it!

Does your idle switch engage?

 

This caused mine to clog up the emissions tester on my last mot.

 

They tried setting it up but was pointless with idle switch not engaging.

Ensure the lambda probe is connected to an earth and make sure it is a good one. It should be earthed to the engine mount.
