Mission Impossible (electric conversion)
xwingz2 replied to EV 'Quest's topic in Newbie Introduction
Can someone please tell me what I did !! I think I have been a member for a few years...but for some reason I cannot start a new content. This is new! Who did I anger! Please respond to edwforrest@gmail.com because I cannot get into the forums...and have questions about vibrations in the front end when tie rods are good and wheels are tight and bearings are repacked! Appreciate it...who do ya call when this doesn't work! ed -
Is it still the "flasher" if one side flashes and the other does not? Thanks, ed
-
Got it...thanks!! ed
-
I need to replace the cover on the rear bumper of the ESI-r. Please...where do I start to remove the bumper? Where are the bolts? I don;r see 'em!
-
Thank you for responding. It just seems "flat" throughout the range. It's like one plug isn't firing...but that is not the case. I changed cap and rotor, wires and plugs and the thing wants to pull up to 5,000-5,550...but it seems like it is struggling. The plugs all have a nice "burn". Any chance this could be a "clogged" cat converter?? Is changing the throttle positioning sensor an "yes" or "no" thing...there is no "adjustment" or "test"...right? Do I sit behind the tailpipe and see if I get blown away??!!! Thanx...ed
-
If I adjust the valves...do I disable the "jet valves"???
-
What did I do that I cannot start a new topic on the "newbie forum"!!??? Is there anyone I can phone or email directly who can answer questions live? I am going backwards with the ESI-r...trying to understand if I need to change injectors...to what!!??? If I adjust valves...do I disable the jet valves...stuff like that. I know no authority in Atlanta...do you?? Thx..
-
So, which injectors should we use, please!! ed
-
OK...I am back! My wife had surgery and I have just not had time to think about anything like "fun". The advance is working plugs gapped and re-gapped. I am not sure how to approach finding a hairline. Can this be valve adjustment? The engine seems t clear out at 4-5,000...it's jus getting there that is 'rough' like a miss. I changed the coil, wires, cap and rotor which DID help. Valve adjustment possible???
-
Thanks to all for the vacuum line question responses...
-
Hey guys... There are two pix here. The first shows the rotor button...is this normal??? The second one has a yellow tie wrap on the 4" hose near the disty. Please...where does this attach? Thx...
-
Working around the distributor I see a rotor with three segments...it is only "hitting" on 1 and 1/2 ...the third one has no "shine" to it. The first one looks like it is hitting and the second one is pitted. The tabs in the distributor also look corroded. This is an easy first step... 2.) There is a 4" vacuum hose that Is not connected. It is attached to a manifold with three other vacuum hoses. I wish I could find the place here to attach pictures. Anyone have a suggestion where this 4 vac hose goes ??? (near the distributor but not long enough to reach the advance tab) 3.) I cannot attach pix...right?? Thx....ed
-
Thanks, Jimmy...advance is working. I ordered a cap and rotor...if that does get it then I'll get a distributor...change the fuel filter...basics first..just so may of them. thx all
-
Thanks, Scott. MUST this be an ESIr Distributor or can I replace it with any 2.6?? ed
