What was the engine temperature with the modulation 67%? It almost sounds like the chain has jumped a tooth, certainly there should plenty of spare movement to get the modulation down to 50% @ 95C.Right.
Tried to adjust the fib.
We.managed to get it by adjustung it down to about 67.
No more space to move it any further as it was done beforehand due seen the markings.
Still having hot start issues , but it is running on higher revs and more smooth, no indication of running issues like before ( similar to sparkplug hick ups, sorry , best to describe ).
But, it still had twice hotstart issues, where it taken again a while to start finally.
There is no more space to move the fib any more.
So, is there any other way to solve the problem without getting a new timing chain and let a garage change it?
I really have no intention to spend another 500 ( minimum estimated ) plus buying another car for a week as this is the estimated time for it being off the road.
Any other ideas are very appreciated.
Thank you
With the modulation at 67% hot start is not going to be much improved.
If I were you, I'd be looking at doing the chains and sprockets, no point in fitting a new chain with worn sprockets.
