So the current things work checking are?

FPR/fuel rail clear
Swap plugs back (if old ones still around)
Temp try different leads (think 2woody had some with him and was seeing KW tonight)


If that doesn't resolve, then we could be in trouble I guess.

would a known working V6 injection manifold help? Thinking one off the 3.0 could rule out anything done to yours?

There is a spare manifold here. I have a good feeling about that theory. It stacks up quite nicely with all the symptoms.

Had a listen - definitely not an end (too light) - sounds more like "piston slap" - used to get that sound if a piston ring bust.

Assuming you used the manifold which originated from me, mine ran absolutely fine with it on :y

I've had another listen now I'm home... It's definitely piston slap and only apparent when engine running so there is no "Damage" from the fitting, it's now just a case of getting to the bottom of the overfuelling. I reckon the FPR, especially with the funny noise Kevin is reporting, is a good start. I don't think it's DIS/Leads related because Kevin has tested them and unlikely to be plugs as they have been swapped around during the testing ;)

Sat on the edge of my seat for the next installment

if fuel is filling the bores , as we all know liquids are incompressible you must have a noise changing by time and getting louder.. :-/

a simple stethoscope may give better clues I think..

no more ideas :(

Your not rather kiddin! Been kackin it all week. Finally get the call to repay some of the help you've given me over the years, and this happens. I cant believe it.

Cant imagine your two faces on start up. Unless Mr Wood is on a wind up? i reckon he's wired a set of comedy teeth to the alternater...if only.

By the way i never opened the packaging on that manifold when Ld sent it to me for my install, never even touched it. Was glad to have it as a back up though.

Seeing Mr Wood's face, if he was on a wind up, I never want to come up against him on the Poker table ;D
