cam.in.head Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 i wish i was nearer to you .we could go through this together and swap all your bits one at a time to sort it. but to be honest im not sure its a component fault but lets see what happens when you do your ignition. then we can go through the basics and work our way in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobby Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Ignition module replaced and it has made a difference acceleration now constant,smooth and quicker still seems flat if dropped into 4th at 60 and floored it gets there but can get the same effect just squeezing the throttle on (or am I expecting too much) it's just I remember doing this with my 20s 4 speed (4th to 3rd) and it was a lot lot quicker. will check plugs when I get up and check for leaks as the car hasn't been put through its paces for about 14 years I must admit tho I did really enjoy myself tonight The getrag 240's fifth gear is it like overdrive as it's totally hopeless for acceleration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, you can tweak the timing advance a little as it's fairly conservative based on the old fuel. Will allow it to pick up a bit , whilst keeping Well away from 'pinking ' so long as your not buying super turd unleaded lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooker Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Great to hear that the ignition module has helped a lot, glad you're having a bit more fun now, there's something about driving them that just makes you smile 😁 looking forward to hearing of further progress 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobby Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Well there has been some very good progress maybe a bit of frustration but left it in fifth at just under 70mph and floored it and held the throttle down a couple of times up to 70....ish I could feel it surging and dropping off but it got better every time I did it and now I have my open road performance back I guess the injectors were a bit gummed up either that or the exhaust was restricted and blew it out now it goes like a manta. Hopefully that's it and I thank everyone who has helped me with this problem if anything it's had a thorough check over and tune up.
