Always an interesting day in the workshop, a not seen before item came to our attention, take a look at the engine photo of a n/a see if you can see anthing wrong, there had been a series of running issues caused by bad throttle balance poor temp sensor connection and det sensor issue, however there still remains two faults which are the direct cause of hestitation, very poor mpg, a constant bucking and miss firing feel when driving unless the lightest and slowest of throttle was used.

 

Any guesses?

fuel filter missing ...

Fuel filters missing.

no fuel filter for one.

wheres the fuel filter ?

the other fault, though its not at a great angle, would be the pipe leading from the fuel pressure regulator, looks kinked, also the bracket on the passenger side near the battery that goes on the two bolts holding the balance bar in place isn't in place.

Not a clear pic to be honest, but i would say no bolts holding down the pass side of the balance bar causing an air/vac leak, no fuel filter, cant quite see the fpr, might be the pic but it doesnt look right.

Cas, somthing looks awry at the tps plug.

Why is there an X on bank 2?

 

Missing spring stop on o/s throttle link?

Yes ok the filter nissing was easy, but as I said never seen anyone do that before??

 

The running problem however is in the area below, trying to see how I can save a close up

Right click the photo, save to your desktop (temp) and then open it and zoom in.

around the tps looks pretty minging?

Something odd about the viscous fan, but it could just be me :)

cam cover near the PTU is snapped, not sure what effect thats having but cant be that good.

I take it there is a radiator up front somewhere?

are you on about the hole in the throttle body intake pipe? looks darker than the rest of it, like the rad pipe has melted it? on the drivers side. im sure i can see a hole there.

PTU cable in the wrong way round?

TPS connector and wiring looks a bit dodgy.

PTU cable in the wrong way round?

 

You cant, the plugs are different each end.

 

Clever git!!!
