In the garage till 5am saturday night/sunday morning. Took the inlet manifold off of my 3.0 csl to get at the oil sender which seemed to be leaking. Blanked it off and then reassembled and put in new injectors. I was hoping these better flowing injectors would cure the hesistation under full load at 4500 rpms.
No joy on either the leak or the hesistation! So sickening. I didnt get a chance to see if the leak is still from the sender location (maybe i didnt tighten the bolt up enough to crush the washer!?) but there it is so hard to see where it is coming from. I plan to power wash the whole area and then put it on a lift and run it to see where it appears first. Last chance saloon and if it doesnt work then it will be discovered in the corner of a shed when i die!
Any ideas on the hesistation at 4500 - I have made sure the screen in the tank is ok - fuel pressure is 32-34 at idle, new fuel filter. New injectors. New cap, new leads. It feels like it is fuel supply vs electrical as when it hesistates the gauges do not act up and the loss of power is not violent. Its like someone cutes the fuel supply in half? Should i be looking at the MPS? I checked the TPS a while back for WOT signal and it was spot on - will check this again I guess.
A few years ago it was working well and had 200bhp on the rolling road - went back again and it had 180bhp. I guess perhaps I should book it into one to get to the bottom of it but there are so few places that would be up to speed on the d jetronic.
