Munra Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I bought this car almost a year ago and things have settled down enought for me to start working on it. For the most part this car was complete. I tried starting it right of the bat didn't start but it atleast turned over. The fuel pump was bad so that was replaced. I tore off the thorttle body last night and started to tear it down and rebuild it and to also replace all the screws with hex head bolts/screws. I will also send the injectors off for cleaning and testing. I also just ordered new plugs (NGK 7031) and new wires. So I think I got a good start. My first questions are pretty simple. I tested the compression last night, I think its fine (As per reading some topics after a forum search) but I am not 100% sure, cycldiers read as follows 1-120 psi2-113 psi3-115 psi4-118 psi Edited March 21, 2012 by Munra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munra Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 hey thank you Is there a good post on how to test the injectors to see if they work befor I send them to RC fuel injection for cleaning? Couldn't find anything on the forum search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesfer Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Get an injector plug and splice in a button and connect it to a 12v wall plug, then feed it some carb cleaner and click the button Total cost like $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_S Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 actually a 9v battery works better and less hassle. Just get some alligator clips and run one from each pole of the 9v battery to the 2 pins on the injector and it will open up. You can put a hose over the end and squirt brake cleaner directly into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will complete the rebuild of the TB. My next line objective is rubber hoses. This car sat for atleast 8 years maybe longer. The hoses are brittle and well crap. What hoses do I have to replace and which can I just remove and plug? Would the parts manaul have the size of hoses that I need? Assuming ruber hoses and clamps would be easy to pick up at any auto store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
