Also noisy is right about the bank fire set up, not sure what that means about the injectors being stuck open- I dont know if it would even run if they were all like that??? if its only running on the drive and super rich you may struggle to get it warm in this weather. you could take the viscous fan off to help it warm up when not moving. if it wont start now then take out the plugs and spin it over without the fuel pump relay in to dry it out and then see if it will go, if it wont wiggle the dizzy side to side with somone cranking it it get it to fire and then keep it going till you figure it out lol

they can leak quite badly

would they all go at the same time you reckon?

not normally a mix of good ,bad and useable

Its essentially a choke

what you harpin on about "little bursts of increased revs to build heat up" then ?

Well it sounded like the revs went up

which would make sense if its dropping a little extra fuel in

Thats what I was wondering. I think more likely ecu? what does the master tech think?

I drove one of these for a few years, the revs do rise I think as a result of the rich mixture and the basic nature of the idle control system they also all do it differntly at differnt times , its funny to watch lol

See well thats what the guy told me was auto choke

although he's a diesel person, got a degree in agri engineering so tratter work etc none of the petrol crap

did this happen after having it chipped

fett · Dec 17, 2012

higher fuel consumption

its not difficult to check why injectors are passing too much

Mines not engine work

mines more design and build

Int nothing wrong with my designing

or building, its just the engine bit

dirtydiscov8 · Dec 18, 2012

Calm down now ladies, it's a mark adams chimp and it seems to make it smoother through the revs and a bit happier to rev and i'd even say the fuel consumption is better! just been looking at the Disco and it's only flooding the left hand bank as you look at the engine...and when i say flooding i mean Niagra falls amounts of fuel!!

How can i upload of it on here?

dirtydiscov8 · Dec 18, 2012

A picture of the video...squirts like a lady i once knew!

fett · Dec 18, 2012

That is a lot lol, is it doing that constantly or pulsing?

mark adams chimp lol
