Very Sick V8. any ideas please?
« on: February 05, 2012, 15:15:32 »
Hi,
3.9 V8 LPG single point using a Lambda control
And the ignition is Mega jolt
OK
Started over-fuelling like crazy have replaced plugs, leads, and coolant temp sensor.
Discovered loads of petrol in the oil, changed the oil.
Still runs like a bag of spanners
Disconnected the fuel pump and the injectors so it runs LPG only (thought I might have a dual fuel thing going on)
still runs like a bag of spanners,rough tick over, on a spin mid range is OK ish once its cleared its throat but no real top end.
pulled the plugs... R/H set spot on (1357 ) L/H set (2468) all wet but don't smell of petrol (oil?)

Ive been at this on and off for a few days now, was getting stressed as I need it for work tomorrow, (am going in on the motorbike now !!)

would appreciate some ideas I'm quite sick of the bloody thing now and am so close to breaking it and selling off the bits, Ive always enjoyed working on my motor but now I just hate the thing
