My latest theory, to be tested tomorrow, is the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor. I've read, and reread, Muir's static timing rap, and I'm lost. When I tried to do it before (many months ago), I couldn't find a notch on my pulley to save my life. Since then, someone (last mechanic I guess, though I didn't ask him to) has painted a white mark on the pulley. I have no idea if it's accurate. Also, Muir's table of static timing doesn't list my engine type (CV). Does anyone have a quick "rap" on static timing for me? I know it's not too hard but I'm having no luck sorting it out. I have a feeling that if it's not the temp sensor, it's the timing, and in either case, the timing needs doing.

Hi Anthony, If your injectors were working before and are getting electricty you can test with a light then they should be good enough. I would try to do the static timeing just to get you started. It's written up good in muir's idiot book. But after it is running I would pull the injectors all four of them and check the pattern and make sure their all good. A bad injector caused me to drop a valve and have to rebuild my engine. Good Luck Kevin 80 Westy |
