Sorry, for some reason I never got an email notifying me of your posts.
Sure I may sound like I'm a T/A but it's all very well for you fellas that get paid to do this to make comments like that, but it's not just the $65 bucks that counts. When the money is going out faster than is coming in, when you are turning away work because you need to concentrate on these projects as everytime you get side tracked, it puts you back a day or two trying to work out where you were previously, and when you're struggling to pay the bills due to the thousands you've already spent of your wife's hard earned cash on your project, then you will be in a position to comment. Comments like that are not helpful. Enough said!
In saying this, I have gone out and bought and assembled the Speedo Corrector as you suggested and found what I thought would happen, that it made no difference apart from being 65+ bucks poorer, and a little wiser. I might add that I'm getting too damn close to 60 yrs old, been working as a mechanic for most of my life since I was a teenager, so I'm no D/A!
I also have fitted an ICS valve just in case this may be causing a problem, but have not had a chance to run it yet to see if this makes a difference.
However, I have had some success in that the problems I had up in the revs at around 5 grand turned out to be a faulty igniter - a very rare thing to go wrong, so I'm told. Was told they were never known to have failed and this made it much harder to find.
In the meantime, the fault codes 83,84,85 have returned!!! I sure wish I had never started this project!... Surely someone out there knows how to solve this problem??? If you don't wish to blab it all over the Internet, then you could always send me an email:
[email protected] and just tell me you want to keep it quiet, and why.
