Would you believe it, it was all going too well. The useless piece of shit has now developed a misfire >:(
Time to find the sledgehammer and take out some aggression on it >:(

Bugger. :(

Its a scientific fact, beer increasings aim accuracy ;) ;D

'dangle berries' to it, I'll have a quick look in the morning and see if I can pinpoint it.
Anyone know how to test leads and DIS?
-
Blimey The boy, Rough ride with this one :(
-
Leads is a level resistence across the set of 6. DIS pack is basically a swap out with a known good one. On removing the DIS pack, look for corrosion/rus on the bottom of it and separation of the plastic insulation. Sure sign of it being damaged.
Beer 1st definitely.

If your'e really going to smash the b******d to smithereens, could you possibly do a DVD?
Then I can play it on an in-car DVD player and frighten the sh**e out of mine [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

hee hee swap em to another one ;)
sorry to hear this Jamie - one thing after another with this one.... :(
-
So what can cause a misfire?
Faulty DIS
Faulty Leads
Fault plugs (brand new - one had cracked when Tunnie and I checked, so replaced the set)
Leaky rocker gasket
Any other cause?

nope - after that your really looking at freaks of nature :(
-
Seems to cruise OK, just acceleration, esp when low revs or pulling from standstill. Idle a little lumpy as well.
Does that give any clues?
-
nothing more than a hunch but cant see it being dis.....maybe leads or plugs, its obviously when delivering power....
-
I have a gut feeling, not that I've checked it yet. I hope it isn't as not a job I look forward to...
-
Air leak into plenum?

Possibly. I'd say unlikely in this case though.

Ta. Would't a hand on the leccy seat ;) - Also tech2 update for my facelift to see if that mod works for the boot.
-
I may have cured the misfire, certainly temporarily.
Just thrashed Proj TB1 to within an inch of its life around the villages around the back of my place, and not a misfire at all :D
Alas, Tunnie, it handles similar to your 2.2 on that S bend between here and Halse, got a right wiggle on.
I shall see if the problem reoccurs before stating what I think the issue was (not quite sure between 2 possibilities)

OK, you got no further forward with that? Taken the seat out yet, and check for power? I'm not around this weekend, so can't be then...
For the boot thingie, I need to talk to Marks_DTM first...

Piece of cake disconnect the battery, remove the cover from the side of the seat and you will see the red clip laying flat clipped to the pre tensioner lift off and insert into the groove. Jobs a goodun. 5min job just hope you dont have any problem with the seat bolts as on mine one of the star headed bolts got recked so had to drill it out so be careful.
