[tattoomang60]

it was only firing on three clys.
and its only firing on 3 on the new lump .
i changed apart from engine plugs leads dist cap rotor arm even new dist unit.

[tattoomang60]

cleaned feul press plate made no diff.
so is it a nackard injector???

[raferackstraw]

take injectors out and put them into jars and see if they all spray, if they do then look to electrics have you checked all plugs are sparking? recheck static timing and ignition timing . was dizzy new or secondhand? check hall sender and wiring

[tattoomang60]

all plugs firing nice and strong.
will do injectors tom morning dose it matter what order i take them out . what should i be looking 4 ie spray pat ect.
sorry all for being a pain but i aynt got the hart to junk the car its in such good nick. apart from this and a few silly bits.
cheers ian

with all in jars they should all spray in iirc an oval pattern. correct way to do this is to bridge pump relay and lift metering flap. it could be  a meteringhead issue whereby fuel is not getting to an injector.
next course is changing injector or mh but really you need to get a guage to test fuel pressures to tell you whats really wrong.
use the search mate thats what i did to find out my problems

[tattoomang60]

it was a brand new dist unit costing way over the bloody odds for it  but needs must.
car seems to be a bit of a money pit at the mo.

[raferackstraw]

look mate its something straightforward but you need to do the basic checks to see the direction to go in. on a plus point you now have a spare 16v engine to play with to rebuild/tune to possibly be a monster

Gonna start looking at everything in the morning its just a case of hunt the fault. Its just a matter of time ha ha. Cheers all for ya help and advice ian.
