hey guys as the title states i am having a few issues with my 33

i just changed the plugs and a new air flow meter and coilpacks, but it still wont idol when its in low and mid rev range, it drives fine for 10mins put when u put the foot down it runs well but when u slow down and stop it just wont idol.

the things i am doing are

cleaning the injectors

fixing leaking dump pipe

adding a catch can and removing all the vacume lines

the engine its self is in gr8 condition, i can smell a bit of fuel in the car does this mean injectors? also the car wont idol and start when i stop?

what do u guys think it is a leaking dump leaking bov, injectors or an electrical problem?????

thanx 4 your help

had the same sort of problem about a week ago and we put in new coil packs, new plugs, changed the afm and the ignitor pack. didnt help so we hooked up some diagnostic equipement and went for a cruise.

worked out a fw things and changed the timing and revs a little and it fixed it. just seemed to be out of timming and in need of a tune up.

might be the same for you

yeh i though timming but my mech said it was un likley but i will tell him again lol....

as for the lines and standard bov there still on there, taking them off tomorrow and gettin a new piece of pipe made up, it has been set up how it is now for the last year and been fine

thanx people

andy

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
