Well, here we go again. Rough idle, and again this stutter. Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and so forth.
Haven't hit the 100,000 kilometer mark just yet. Had an X-90 over the other day and it idled like a Singer sewing machine.
Same 1.6 16 valve and almost double the kilometers. Another chap came over yesterday to admire these local built bumpers.
Again, 1.6 16 valve Singer and again, double the k'zs. Spent most of the day going over tune up stuff on this sweetee of mine. Can't seem to git it to sound like a Singer. Yeeees, eye did go thru the EGR system and even installed the header and 2" exhaust kit on it and did check the EGR passage through the rear engine port. Eye'm convinced that it's not the EGR system giving me grief. Hooked up the MT2500 and scanned a bunch of stuff. Some meant something to me and ......well other stuff was Martian. Cracked a cool one and stood back and listened. Runs like an old worn out carburator leaking fuel down the throat. Put on my stethascope and listened to the clack clack clack. Seems this beast has individual injectors and three of mine are sounding like a duck. Never heard this problem before on this site or any other. When I bought this rig, the maintenance was a tad light. Fuel filter was almost plugged. How does one isolate the injectors? Pull plugs like spark plug wires and see which one (s) are faulty or just go ahead and replace them all? Cost? Can they be rebuilt and who would do this? Sorry for the long winded journal, but it has been an uphill battle trying to resolve this frustration. I think I almost have it beat this time. There seems to be some good smarts on this site.
Thanks one and all for your patience and input.
Regards, Luke.
