update:

I changed the spark plugs on the weekend and guess what. The olf ones were black as night... Heaps of carbon on them. The problems is that it is still flat spotting at .8mm spark plug gap.

I will get the car on the dyno this weekend if I can and see if it running rich. Besides the AF ratio's what else should I be looking for on the dyno??? temp corrections etc????

Ps, ECU is a PFC Pro

Got the car booked in on the dyno on friday, is there anything other than the good old fuel ratio's to lookout for that could be causing it to run rich at certain points when on the road?

Anything else to lookout for that could be causing the flat spotting. I have new plugs, new coils so far...

SK,

Some questions on one and two?

1)How can I test the acceleration enrichment and partial throttle openings?

2)Where are the acceleration enrichment settings and Cold and hot start settings in the PFC HC.

Sorry to bug everyone, but I can just see me leaving the dyno place with the AF ratios looking fine and me having no real progress on this issue...

1. That’s a full power, WOT test. So it is 99% irrelevant, how much of the time do you drive around at WOT? . More importantly, what are the A/F ratios as partial throttle openings? At idle? What are the acceleration enrichment settings? Cold and hot start settings?

2. Together with the fuel in the catch can, it is the black smoke on start up that has me concerned. Give it a run on the dyno, but make sure you test idle, cruise, acceleration enrichment, partial throttle openings etc.

3. I would also have a good look at the fuel pressures, just to be sure that increasing fuel pressure is not the problem.

4. If that doesn’t show up anything then I would have the injectors flow tested. If one is rich for some reason, then the other 5 might be lean, giving 12 to 1 on average.

>_< cheers :laugh:

UPDATE:

I got the car on the dyno the other day and the AF ratios were all over the place. Thing was though they were not consistantly all over the place. We could not get it to follow a consistant path on the map tracer???

After a lot of dicking around we decided to check the the Air Meter Voltage and guess what? The volts were all over the place, which lead me to beleive that the AFM was shot.

It turn out that the plug was loose and once we snaged a zip tie around it she was puring like a kitten without any flat spotting :blink:

Now I just have to wait and see if any more fuel turns up in the catch can, if it does then those injectors are going to have to come and and get tested. :{

Been giving it a good run over the last couple of days and it seems that it is flat spotting at the top of 2nd gear, but not all the time???

Is there a way to tune the accelleration enrichment on the road without a lamda sensor?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
