First of all-
The LED is used to blink out ECU codes
The Auto selector display blinks out the TCU codes.
And this all works fine, on both cars.
Power issues
The car is down on power constantly.
It starts well.
It immediately idles at steady RPM, but there is a hint of 'lumpiness'
It will rev off load. But if you open the throttle, there is an instant hesitation.
Acceleration is sluggish at best. Like it may be pulling a trailer.
(the brakes are free, and wheels spin fine, so it's not a dragging brake)
The engine exhaust note is not a clean, steady sound. It is quite coarse.
Fuel consumption is very high. 17mpg / 16.6L100km at motor way cruising 60mph
I am currently working in Glasgow, and only have a few of my tools with me. And no working space as such. So dismantling cars to identify faults is not really an option at present.
I do not have any kit here to measure fuel pressure.
I shall go back to basics, now, I think.
The engine was rebuilt a couple of years ago, and then the car was in storage. So I shall take a look at timing when conditions allow.
