My 2056 w/ D-jet has almost 200 miles on it, i have been tweaking little things here and there. Today I was trying to adjust the TPS. I turned the ignition on and slowly opened the throtle till i heard 20 clicks and then i tightened it down. Got on the freeway and seemed to run a bit better (less bucking) but then i drive 30 min and starts jerking like crazy
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I am loosing at least 1 cylinder under steady cruise and pick it back up on accleration. I get to the end of the freeway and i cant even idle, feels like running on 3 but still has full power. I also hear a knocking sound. shut it down. put the tps back where it was, pulled the plugs. BLACKer than black. Wipe them off and start it back up. Engine is idling rough and i smell gasoline strong from the exhaust. I pulled the wire off the head temp sensor and grounded the lead to the negative side of the battery, and I think it helped. I also adjusted the idle screw and the knob on the ecu till it seemed like it smelled less like gasoline. Here I am, firing on all 3 with full power, engine pulls strong but a lot of misfiring due to rich fuel i believe what the hell is going on here??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

It is what it is.. I promised myself the last time that I had a similar issue that the next time it occurred I was done with valve train sales. It took almost two years.
The easiest way to solve the problem is to eliminate the option.. I am so done with retail sales and these types of issues that I might just close the whole store, or sell it. It has been nothing but a hassle for the last 8 years, when we only created engines we NEVER had these issues. Nothing is about the bottom line here. Anyway, this isn't about me, even though it involves parts that I take great pride in having developed. I can't ensure that every single person is going to have success... I just hope that Joe doesn't waste the rest of the engine from losing a lifter or a lobe. I am going to bed.. |

What a Prima Donna! I'm so sick of reading these whining diatribes. Take your toys, go home. The sandbox is plenty big enough everyone will survive.
