air flow meter fuel filter ?

Mine was like that for a while, try checking that the intake is all tight and no gaps from the airbox back. Thats what was wrong with mine.

im after leads and stuff as well , just replaced my fuel filter and it still misses at 2500 + but it gets there. so only thing left to replace would be plugs and leads. if all aint resolved its the cas.

What series/type of dizzy cap you got ? I have a brand new set here, high performance 8mm I think, I'll have a look. Just brought them and when I went to fit found that the vl came out with 2 types of dizzy cap so went back to get refund and they wouldn't give me one because of some stupid little thing.. Always the way.

dont know ay , didnt even know they had 2 types ! hahha

ohh ok make sure everything tight. And fill er up and chuck in some petrol system treatment. I have been told not to run ya vl low on gas as it is real bad for ya fuel pump.

Also, check your fuel gauge is not faultly as they are cr*ppy and after a while they dont give very correct readings, mine was on 1/4 of a tank and it ran out.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

have you already got all the gear for the turbo conversion ??

Yep, just waiting on cometic headgasket and some other goodies: ecu, injectors, fuel rail, boost tap, fuel reg, intercooler piping, and then make my plenum..

Make your plenum?????

F*** i played around with fuel/air mixture on the AFM and i dont know where it should be set at [factory] cause its running REAL bad , missing beyond 2000rpm. the rev needle goes chaotic trying figure out whats happening and mis reads it..... :S so need help urgently!!

sounds like cas ---------- Post added 16-08-10 at 13:41 ---------- throw another dizzy in and see what happens

hmmm was thinking about that but wasnt too sure. might have to try it thanks bro Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
