Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Also can you check the voltage at that injector just to make sure it’s getting a signal to open? I’m not doing that now as I’m knackered. Also I checked all the wiring the other day and also also the signal goes to all 3 injectors simultaneously. And also also also that wouldn’t explain the leaking...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

It’s a good start Mark. A mere misfire won’t stop you now. If I were you I’d be buying a set (or at least a couple) of injectors before you go mountain climbing. Also possibly some o rings for the connection to the rail. Best of luck as ever Great minds - I’ve just ordered a new injector - Design 9...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Hi Mark, interested in your throttle linkage age/mileage (ie the car) as I’m sure mine is also quietly sitting there wearing away? I didn’t check it last time I had the engine out, oops! it actually snapped further up the shaft about 5 years ago when Centre Gravity were doing a road test after sett...

Yes it’s shocking how much damage the roads are causing now

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Two steps forward one step back…… OK so I drove up to collect the ECU and chatted to David. he said that it had blown something (a resistor?) and effectively that had acted as a fuse and saved the rest of the board. He replace the blown part and a few other things that were worth doing while he was ...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Thanks for that - I’m driving the GT4 every day so it’s getting up to temp daily. I’ll just keep on monitoring it. Great news is that I’ve heard back from David at Canems that “ hopefully all sorted” so I’m going to pick it up tonight. I’m interpreting that as him finding something wrong with it (an...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Ok so things are getting a bit tense now… Not heard from David on the ECU yet. Stupidly when I dropped it off with him on Monday I forgot to get his mobile number. He’s off this week so not sure if he’s checking emails or not - so the upshot is that I have no means of getting in touch with him. He s...

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

I see what you did there. OK the aircon man has been and he was just the sort of guy you want working on your car. I only rang him on Saturday morning and he came tonight at around 6:40 - didn’t leave until 8:30. Before he came he’d downloaded the classic retrofit manual and read up on what was need...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Dropped the ecu off this morning and met David. Nice guy - he said he’ll do what he can to turn it around quickly for me which is great. I’m just hoping that it is the ECU - that is the problem. Every thing we did points at that though so fingers crossed.

The AC guy is calling around later on today
