Howdy.
A couple of things are going on:
-When cold (more so on a cold morning) on petrol but not on gas, the car can hesitate until it gets a little warm. Possible throttle-body need cleaning?
-After the car is at op temperature, it idles roughish, both on petrol and LPG. The taco doesnt bounce much but if you look carefully, it does a bit. Possible oxy-sensor? Though I didn't think the oxy-sensor did much with gas?
-Not so important.. but the A/C compressor is rather squeaky. Silicon spray doesn't seem to help.. :(
I get around 330km on 60L of gas.. No idea on petrol, haven't tested. Temp gauge sits just 1 notch under 1/2.
What I've done:
-All new plugs
-New Leads
-New ICS o-ring
-New Dizzy Cap and rotor button
-Oil is clean and in good condition. Just did a flush too.
-Replaced the tappet cover seals
-Flushed the trans and put in new fluid
-New airfilter
-Cleaned the throttle-body*
*Done that twice now, got dirty again in a matter of a few weeks... When it was clean, didn't notice much of the hesitation on petrol when cold either... of course, may not be connected. Maybe something is blocked?
Attempted to do Oxy-sensor, however on the ground seems WAY to hard/annoying/kill-something-now... So I'll get someone with a hoist to do that. Anyone in SA here want's to assist for cheap/beer would be nice lol.
So... Any suggestions? lol
Thankyou.
