Does this engine have an auxillery air valve? It could be broke, letting in too much air.
The problem you're having is almost certainly too much air getting into the system and leaning it out at tickover/low revs.
Are the plugs still a nice browny colour?
Check all the cars "air" related devices.
Does this car have an ECU?
I might be able to pop over Monday or Tuesday if you're about during the day?  |
Dizzy is fine (car was working fine apart from broken fuel pipe, until I took the frigging thing apart!)
It does have an ECU of sorts, being KE-JET rather than K-JET. The Aux air valve has been replaced by the ISV.
I am currently of the opinion that it is getting the correct 14:1 mixture when ticking over at 2400rpm, as it is neither leaning out, or running rich. I think that even though I checked the throttle butterflies, cleaning them out PROPERLY won't hurt.
Because it runs fine (apart from being at 2400rpm), I don't think that there is an air leak in the system, or an overfueling problem.

Make sure that ones that have lots of sucking going on through them are made of good quality stuff or they could collapse under load |
Bought some 3.2mm fuel hose from Camberley Auto factors today. Will change hoses later.
I *MAY* be about on Monday / Tuesday if my wife has this bloody baby! SPent the morning in Bath Hospital cos she was having 3 minute contractions, lasting 1 minute.
But when we got there, they said, "yes you're having contractions, but go home until something else happens". WTF else can happen? C section booked in 2 weeks but it is torture as she has been contracting for 8 bloody days now and is knackered, but they woldn't do C section today cos they're too busy.
