reidy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Ok, so my car decides it dont wanna start sometimes, the garage comes out, and find that sparks are fine, battery's fine, petrol is getting to the injector, single point. So they change the injector, and now it starts, but............ there is a massive loss of power, mainly in the lower revs (1-2500) it just doesn't wanna go, the guy at the garage says he has tried absolutely everything, the fuel pressure is fine (16 psi), tried other MAP sensors, and a whole lot more that my brain didn't understand, has this happened to anyone before? Everything else runs fine, just a real bugger to get to 3000rpm. Please help! Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reidy Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 what exactly is the air sensor valve supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Escort SI Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Does the engine have a CATALYIST on it? this might be your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Take it to a garage that can plug in something to read the eec-iv for error codes. 16 psi sounds a tad low on fuel pressure, but I dont know the exact figure for a SPI car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reidy Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 thanks for your help guys, i dont think its the catalyst cos it only happens in lower revs, if it was the catalyst i think it would be the other way around. And the machine thing, apparently it isnt available for my car. Its doing my head in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunty123 Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 right its singale point injection so it in the carb housing as you look do the carb housing its on the back wall ie the wall tawords the dash and it looks like a little cage with a little neddle pionting out of it you need a ajustable spanner because i cant remeber what size it is just take it out and clean it with petrol or some solvent cleaner if you still puzzeled take a pic of your engine from the top with the air filter off and ill point it out on that for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
