I picked up the new injectors from Rudy Held today Accel 19lb'ers x 8 for $505.00 CDN which is not a bad deal for brand new injectors. I hear the Ford SVOs are cheaper but I just couldn't bring myself to put a Ford part on my car.

I have the re&re job down to 2.5 hours which is pretty good seeing as I have done this a few times now. The car started first time and runs ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I did a few kms then hit a straight stretch for a WOT run and it pulled very hard. I've done a few mods that are starting to come together, porting, pullies, cold-air and FINALLY the Jacobs system installed and working. Altogether pretty fast ride it will be interesting to

1) see how it does at the track and
2) see how it pull on the dyno.

Good to hear it went OK. Don't you just love how it starts up now?

Bob

 

hay i thought you were going to call me to give you a hand... i guess you have done so many time you know what you are doing lol

 

Glad to hear you're up and running once again.Now you can park the Toyota and fill ypour need for speed.

 

Glad to see you got it back on the road. Are you still planning on coming out Saturday night?

 

88 IROC Bob -- yah it just turns over once (I SWEAR) and starts kinda like an instant on button ... I tried the glass of water on the plenum and it didn't spill either. V e r y smooth thx.

triggerGTA -- yah I was going to call but I had to do the job in between company (we have guests in from out of town) so the window of opportunity was short. But THX !!! for the offer dude !

zeddar 1990 -- these things are bright yellow that was a surprise what is the deal with your car do you still have rough idle or driving issues ?

Hey Kev -- yah I will be at Tim Horton's around 8:00 shined up and ready to rev.

adious guys,

2 weeks ago the car threw a code 43(knock sensor). I put a 3.9 k resistor inline from the knock sensor to lower the knock counts. I havent had a repeat of the incedent but the car appears to miss at certain speeds. I'm not sure if the knock sensor is causing the ecm to screw with the timming. I took 16th owners advice and put the old coil wire back on(instead of the taylor 8mm)and the car appears to have a steadier idle. I was out cruising around last night with the top down and I had the heater on. When I shut the car off I heard a hissing noise comming from the HVAC controls. Vacuum leak? Only happens when the control is set to heat(Doesn't hiss in the vent,defrost or air conditioning settings).Yeah! yet one more ****ing thing to fix. This car is like a jet fighter, 4 hours of repair/maintenace for every hour of operation. Speaking of which did anyone seeRipley's Believe it or not last night? They raced an F-16 Viper against a new Dodge Viper. Interesting results

 

My car makes the hissing noise also and I have low kms (74 as of this morning). My Dodge Grand Caravan makes hissing noises also (first time I thought it was the wife -- noooo just kidding !!!) in fact everything I've ever owned with A/C hisses including my late Acura. Unless something quit I wouldn't fret over it.

How many k's on your cap/rotor and wires ? I had an 'engine miss' like you describe on my '88 it was an ignition wire one of those in the A/C heat sink (4-6-8) it looked fine but tested bad. Go figure.

The entire distributor is brand new(Ignition module,P/U coil, shaft, rotor and cap)THe wires have maybe 10 000 kms on them

 

So palric, what better way to test your new injectors, but with a little race at Toronto Motorsports Park on Saturday Morning :P

 

Hey you are tempting me dude. But I think the only track time I will see is Aug 10 (is that St. Thomas ?) date.

Hey what is playing at ToMo Park Saturday ?

RP.

 

Its test and tune night... and I'll be playing :P
