• Without decent heated enclosure large ABS is really a challenge to control warping

    The route I’ve taken in the past for these kinds of thing is to print an inner or outer mould and use either fiberglass or carbon for the finished product.

    Print out an mould in PLA, sand, prime, fill to desired finish. Seal and spray with mould release and lay up…[Read more]

  • Thanks for all the tips, I’ll give ti the once over agian but 99% it’s not mechanical at this point

    Done all the other basics like compression test etc.. Next is dump exhaust/intake see if there is a restriction there (dead cat?) causing the over fueling then move onto the ignition system.

    Attached the diagnostics from today, problem being…[Read more]

  • Further to this.

    Checked return line with external line, Clear.

    Double checked injectors for leak during prime, All fine.

    Pretty much ruled out all mechanical issues, almost has to be electrical but not sure how to go about diagnosing electrical issues?

    Another theory is fouled plugs but that doesn’t work with the fact the car runs fine on…[Read more]

  • What is the actual pressure when the engine is running?

    I’d suggest that the stock FPR with A1000 pump might be on the small side possibly causing excessive fuel pressures.

    Do you have a non-return valve in the supply side after the pump but before the rail?  If not that would explain why the pressure drops after priming.

    Standard pump.…[Read more]

  • Hi, Apologies if this is in the incorrect area. I’ve a 304 Statesman with (for me) a perplexing fueling issue.

    Starts fine cold. If shutoff and restarted at operating temp will not start. If i remove the Fuel Pump relay the car will start and run for up to 5-10 seconds. If i replace the relay while running car will bog down for 15-20 seconds but…[Read more]
