Walt,
Thanks for all that information, it’s really helpful and helps me track down root causes.
I’ll give some context on the engine but don’t laugh! And then I’ll give you my findings on the AAR.
The engine is out for a full gasket replacement, today I found a broken head stud and tomorrow I will check the rest to see what the state of play is. Down the hole I go…
I recently bought the car as an unfinished project. To say it was unloved is an understatement. Lots to do replacing full brake system and lines and pretty much everything else, tackling rust, you name it!
The car wasn’t running when I bought it and the previous owner said that he thought it was related to the CIS head. When I took the fuel tank out to have a look it was full of sludge/oil and damaged underneath so I just decided to replace it and therefore replacing fuel pump fuel lines fuel filter made sense, that should then bring me to the airbox, C.I.S. head and fuel injection/air system.
When I saw the state of the AAR I thought that couldn’t be right and if that is the case then there’s a problem somewhere that has created this puddle in the AAR. I’m contemplating a rebuild kit for the C.I.S. head, I think at the moment the WUR is okay but when I get the system back together I’ll be better able to test it. I’m on the hunt for a replacement ROW airbox, the one I have is just falling apart and has been stuck together with silicone!
Results for the AAR, there is some movement in the gate although I thought it would be more but the again my temp test is probably only in the mid range. First picture is room temperature on spring day in Ireland so not that hot, second picture is after being in the freezer for 60 minutes.
Any thoughts, it appears to be working but is it working well enough? Can the electrical connection be tested? I guess it’s sending a signal to something base on the reading of the AAR?
Thanks
Dom
