I got the engine started tonight. And as it was running it was missing bad as if though it was running on only 3 Cylinders. But as i take the RPM to around 3k it starts to run really smooth. I cant help but to think that i might have a Fualty injector that is having a hard time opening up untill there is some good pressure behind it. I havent had the chance to Check for spark at all the cylinders or do a spray check on the injectors. Im just trying to get a plan on were to start first.
Also the right bank has a exhust leak that is comming from the head to headers I can look up and see where it left a dark spot on the Copper caskets. Have any of you guys tried exhuast sealent (it is a copper color) to try and fix this. and yes i checked the torque on the studs. |

First figure out which cylinder is missing. Check the plug to see what kind of spark you're getting if any & see how the plug looks (wet/dry, black, gummed up, whitish powdery). See if the missing cylinder injector is getting fuel or getting its impulse from the ECU. Make sure you have the correct injector terminals on the right injectors. There is a list of which wires go from the ECU to what injectors in the Haynes manual. If you have points check your dwell. Then check your timing & make sure your vacuum unit works (advances). If this is all ok I'd go to fuel pressure & see if the regulator is puting out 29-30 psi.
What engine & year do you have? EDIT: I see by your VIN you have a 75... is it 1.8 or 2.0? .....b |
