MFI car help (long)
Hello Friends,
I'm struggling to get my 73T 2.4 running properly. I'm looking for some suggestions. Here's my story.
Freshly home rebuilt stock 2.4 (no leaks). Got everything sorted to the best of my abilities. Running reasonably well. Then took it to a shop for final tweeking. This guy has been around a for a number of years and has a relatively good knowledge of MFI.
Here's what he found. Two collapsed tensionsers (that I had rebuilt)- replaced with turbo units now. Cam timing off on one side and some of my rocker clearances were off.
The car came home running great. Got a couple hundred miles on the car in short trips in the area and the car still ran great (about a week), the started planning my trip to Watkins Glen for the vintage festival the following weekend. Left on my trip and stopped at the border about an hour into the trip, as I pulled away the car stumbled and got worse from there. Losing power and bucking. Cont'd
