was just trying to help . i read earlier that your maf reading was a bit low suggesting air or vac leak . thought of some possibilities some of which you may have already checked /eliminated

2
so to conclude . we are thinking there may still be an air leak (vacuum) before the maf somewhere ?
assuming there arnt any physical engine problems fundanentaly that can cause this then this leak could be a  number of (already checked too ) items.
inlet manifold -to-head.
injector manifold and injector seals to manifold.
 breather seperator box,breather plastic top section,hoses and various 'o' rings associated with .
anything allowing extra air through the physical engine breathing such as rocker cover leaks.oil filler cap,dipstick etc
rings/seals on throttle body.
splits in the concertina hoses from throttle body down to front before maf.
connection to brake servo and vacuum take off to storage vessels .
thats a list which springs to mind . there may be more items ( or possibilities for the syptoms.for eg . what would a partially blocked exhaust show as ?  what would a poor air filter or blockage show ?)


these are areas that i will be checking on mine too when i  next  do the cambelt as i have a +3%  ish LTFT on mine which seems to affect nothing but i would like to reduce (most garages are telling me that within 10% is no issue anyway ) but im being told on here that it should be zero.

im with you on this one . the deltics sound great and they regularly have them
m in use in howarth near me . fantastic to hear and feel the engine roar !
otherwise not much into the modern trains (or much modern anyway ) and dontoften use trains much nowadays due to the prices .
buses however we do use. many times we buy a day ticket and spend a saturday just riding around wherever the next bus goes to . sound wise theyre ok ish but no match for the fantastic sounding gardner 6lxb found in many 80's buses like the olympians and also the leyland engines found in the 70's atlanteans . fantastic times .
same with modern cars i suppose . older cars and engines you could recognise by their sound but not now !

sorry .i though you mentioned earlier that you had replaced the pump and filter with bosch items ?
at least now you know however that its a fuel pressure issue and bringing that back up to spec will solve your issue . theres not much else to check after that ( assuming the "in tank" hoses are ok and you havnt got a squashed or blocked pipe anywhere else !)(or checking the fuel pump is receiving a full 12-13v)

well this is typical of my luck !   i comment on someones post and end up finding out my own car has a problem i didnt know existed . i was always under the impression that up to 10% ltft was normal . think i even read it on here somewhere over the years . whatever it is its obviously not a major fault as the car runs absolutely fine . rock steady idle ,mot emmisions spot on and fuel consumption is ok too ( not that i have owned another 2.6 to compare it to )so i wont be worrying too much but if its supposed to be zero ltft il investigate a bit !!

doesnt seem go have any issues. mpg is good ,runs find and mot emmidions are fine but i will look into if theres any air leaks as the ltft's are on +2.5 ish . cheers .

as regards the posters issue definately worth doing a fuel pressure check as it does sound fuel related

Omega General Help / Re: NGK, Bosch O2 sensors.
« on: 18 May 2025, 18:34:03 »
depends on what"faulty connection actually means " it may be worth refitting this original sensor to see if the fault goes away or swapping both fronts to eliminate wiring issues ?
OR  if the sensor is working fine how about unpinning the connector and fitting the new connector only

12
does look good yes . my pick up pipe was almost fully bunged up !
i renember replacing the o ring at the other end of the pick up pipe too .

13
and as regards the idle speed its controlled via the air valveon the side of the plenum. if you squeeze the rubber hose from it the ecu should try to compensate by opening the valve more which will be obvious when you let go of the hose . if this isnt happening its likely the valve needs cleaning (or replacing).

either that or youve knocked a rubber off ?
the main pin is quite substantial and would take a fair bit to squash
