Been a busy boy, bought a bottle of CRC for my Air Flow Meter, waited 'til i got it today to 'finish' my car…
I bought a Gasket as previous for the meter head/FD, o'ring, new return line bolt to FD sorted.
So took the unit apart, from the air box, & FD, sprayed some CRC through the plunger & return lead, waited 'til it dried, cleaned around the Sensor unit throughout, wiped/dried… put it back together, bolted meter head to the Sensor unit, torqued up injectors to the FD, vacuums connected too. The PPR has had a new o'ring & .3 shim added.
So after 3 weeks between a few things, the WUR being serviced, so to speak, i turned the car over & she started…gave it a minute or so for all the air to get out of the system & took it for a small spin for literally a few hundred yards.
IT FELT GREAT - RESPONSIVE WITH NO HESITATION AT ALL! YYYEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!
It's been a long time, money & work - but worth it! I really don't think this car has been running like this for a long time!
IT DOES NEED A TUNE though, to be booked in in the next week or so … (using shell nitro fuel) after going for a 10-15mile spin, got home & it was on my drive running, it seemed to be idling normal then low, normal then low… So my thinking it needs a tune - What do you guys think?? Also the same happened when the fan came on…
I'm really happy how it's running though… feel i've done so much to her.. Cheers to rubjonny mark1gls LeeO Briano1234 to name a few
