she still doesnt want to stay started. I have tried swapping the leads around but i think they are the right way round. think ill need to get the inj tested. I only asked abt the IGN because my manual has a few colours crossed out and rewritten in pen (though photocopied).

cheers guys

I followed the IGN leads as per the MT manual. If charlie could be so kind as to help me, Id like to know if the wiring schematic is correct. Which colour wires are meant to go to which cylinder? I have: Yellow = 1 Orange = 4 Yellow/Black = 3 Orange/Black = 2 .. as per the manual. PS Sneak Peek http...

Ok been tinkering, and she fires up now. Problem is she still wont idle.. revving to about 900rpm then dies. Really really shits me. Also sounds like its running on 3 cylinders, very uneven firing. I am getting very close to that fateful straw that broke the camel's back. Also, smoke coming out of t...

Been playing with the timing to no avail. When it's cranked to TDC (Cam gear dot @ 9 o'clock) the flat spot on the dizzy is just about where cyl one on the dizzy cap is (approx 6 o'clock). Very annoying since it cranks, catches then dies in the arse. And yes ive tried kicking it but to still no avai...

sticks and stones may break my bones
but a hundred grand will do me fine.

As a side note, I recommend you reset your ISC before you adjust the trim pot. It helps to have a good baseline before you adjust anything.

Thanks Wayne. Think I have the dizzy problem sorted because it splutters and tries to idle now, but dies as soon as i touch the accelerator. If left on it's own it dies within a second of catching. Any suggestions?

It is running(sic) MPI and LTX8.

Hi guys. Just finished bolting everything back onto the car (minus front bumper, but you will see why shortly). Trouble is, damn thing wont start. What was the exact procedure to install a distributor again? Im thinking it might be that, or it could be the worst case scenario and my injectors are bl...

This must be the first case I've heard of where higher octane had a detrimental effect on a car?? I thought the rule of thumb was run as high octane as you could find..

cheers

I saw absolutely no evidence of such work the other night. Dont take offence, just take note: Bullshit artists dont earn any respect.

Chris, Why would you call that Honda a shitbox when it beat you in 2nd gear as soon as Vtec opened up?? What is your car then, shittier than shit? Please dont abuse cars that you cant beat. I dont know if I can beat yours, thus I havent abused it yet. Consideration please. $15,000 or $15.00? All i s...

Have you tried tightening the adjusting bolt/nut combo on the box? Mine had heaps of freeplay and lots of drag at centre at one point, making freeway driving dicey to say the least. Adjusted it, bled the system of air and it was fine.

cheers
