I have a problem with my twin turbo z32...again...

when you start the car it fires up instantly, bit rough but then its on choke..now when you come to drive it it will pull away but put your foot down even a little bit and it backfires badly and then you are lucky to get it over 30mph.

it is running very rich i believe cos you can smell the unburnt fuel from the exhaust

 

this is what has been done to fix this problem..

new platinum plugs

new coils (all six)

new greddy boost controller (fitted by abbey motorsport)

 

this car has been to zedworld but when it got there it was ok again and i drove it home (300 miles) and was fine for a few months

its been to abbey motorsport but again was fine when there and they ran it all week with no problems, drove home (360 miles) ok for few months

been to local car tuning centre (tvr specialist) done compression test, ok, used four bottles of de-coke to see if it was that, no joy.

 

this is what i think MAY be the problem..

got noisy fuel pump..but wouldnt it run lean?

got hks fuel controller instead of front air meters so it has a controller next to inlet manifold, but when i unplug it makes no difference. suspicious

 

zedworld checked all hoses for fuel / air leaks and found none.

 

really pee'd off cos its sat there for 8 months and i cant fix it.

does anyone know who can fix it properly cos im sick off giving it to garages who keep ripping me off.

or has anyone had a similar problem?

 

Please help cos i miss her and i know the z32 bunch are friendly sorts and i miss them too!

 

Thanks
