91.3.1 'warm' starting issue

[ibbobud]

jsut blow out anything thats loose... anything that could fall into the holes when you pull the injectors out. Just take a air compressor and blow it out good. Any grease or ggunjy build up can be cleaned after the stuff is removed.

The black loom around all the wires in that area cracks and becomes brittle. Theres alot of that prob laying down there and thats what i would be worried about. Dont want any peices of plastic or loose stuff falling in. When you remove the rail and injectors you will see what im talking about. Everything slopes into those holes like a funnel :-)

normally you pull the rail and the injectors out in one peice. ANd as soon as they come out everything that is loose falls into the holes :-)

here's the kinda crap we're talking

WOO-mfing-HOO!!!!

It fired up and ran, if a little uneven, about 5 mins ago. Then again, I'd only just rotated the engine back, and hadn't put all the air intake stuff back on.

I was lucky too, when I finally got a ride to the parts store yesterday, they had ONE injector left. would have been today before they'd have got any more in.

So, a failing injector caused my issue. We'll see about the 'warm starting' one....

Ok, so, 2 months on ,it runs, but still badly.

Got a friend with a brand new fuel pressure gauge, and checked again. I think the one I borrowed last time was screwed with, because now it's showing 8psi when the pump runs, and down to 5psi after. When it runs it's the same. I've done the fuel filter before, so thats been changed since this issue. I'm guessing it's either the fuel regulator, OR the fuel pump.

Any thoughts on how to tell which is the problem?

Also, There's some air bubble in the gauge's purge line, even after doing it a fair bit (maybe 20oz of fuel through it), and sometimes, the fuel coming out is fluorescent green, before eventually going clear again. I've not put any additives in recently, so it's either a fuel station addition, or something in my tank.

Ok, new fuel pump went in last sunday, worked well. It now starts on demand!

There's a slight hesitation if it's coasted a little and a little throttle is applied, maybe for a second or two. Still working on that.

Still got the issue of my cooling fans not working though, so today I've changed the water pump, and the thermostat, and pulled the electronic switch again while I was at it.

The water pump seemed to have stains at the vent under the axle (I'll post a pic in a few), so that could be the issue, and I'll do the thermostat on general principle.

one thing, when I pulled the thermostat, there was a tube directly under it, in the housing, that hadn't drained, it looked like coolant, but when I put my finger in, and then pulled it out, it acted as though it was going back into equilibrium, so I'm assuming it's a line that just doesn't drain, rather than a blockage? right?
