hey guys

got my 32 about 2 months ago and been ironing out a few problems it had

since fixing other things i have noticed that i have:

an injector that has a small leak and is dripping small amounts of fuel onto the inlet runner (cant see it dripping but can see a small pool of fuel sitting under the injector and smell the fuel

and

after you go for a spirited drive its not a fan of a steady idle, yes i have cleaned the aac a couple of times now and i thought it was gone (had timing problems including a broken cas bracket :P which is now fixed). Its a strange problem as the car runs fine all the time now but after i went for a burn yesterday and i pulled over to change the timing and let it idle which started becoming more and more erratic (low revs then high revs then lower then higher) and it eventualy went so low that it stalled itself. i adjusted the timing and drove home. when i got back i let it cool for a while and it started doing the same thing. 1 thing to note that i was rumaging around and found the cold start valve was completely blocked off and unblocked it (cold start has been working perfectly ever since)

1 last thing

its got an rb25 turbo on it which usually runs ~10psi but i noticed that in 3rd at ~6k rpm it was getting on for 13psi, could the thin walled silicone hose that goes from the hot pipe to the actuator cause this (expanding under pressure maybe)?

many thanks if anyone can shed some light on anything as its starting to get a bit annoying

Tom

    • 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.
