Welcome to the club 👍

Fantastic job, that’s probably better than it was new. 😎

That’s interesting, did it start ok & feel fairly normal to drive?

If the car has been sitting, it’s not much hassle & might help so I’d be apt to go over the electrical connections & squirt a little contact cleaner in the blue temp plug & insert & disconnect a couple of times. Same with the AFM plug. There’s an Earth on the rear of the inlet manifold that may benefit from a rub with 240emery too. There’s also ye olde air-leaks possibly that can throw the injection out too. Easy-start seems to be a favourite to help detect those.

Nope 😂

Yes there’s bonnet pins too but overall it’s a great survivor 👍

I have a working spare AFM if you want to try that. Wonder if your injectors are slightly leaking or if the cold start one is playing up a bit. Are the plugs really sooted up?

Yes rare indeed!

Excellent! Good to hear it’s going to get sorted not broken 👍

Did you find out anything more about this one?

Looking forward to seeing more 😎
