Mr Vapour Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Have you set tdc via other means i.e. cam lobes or straw/rod down the bore then checked the marks. Is it out when you do.this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumeke Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yep - that's how we did it - but a screwdriver as I had no straw..... If memory serves me correct we lined this all up, but then to start the thing I have to advance the dizzy like 30 degrees. It then only runs on three cylinders suggesting the timing for the injector pump is well out as it is getting spark. @Threeonthetree memory is possibly better than mine?

Goat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 It probably won't make a massive difference at the injector timing tbh. Think of all the batch fired injected cars. The charge will just sit in the port till its ready. Which is fuck all time. (300ms at idle if my calcs are correct). Definitely something wack with your timing. Maybe even your cam timing is off? Also, there is a little stub that sits down the dizzy hole that drives the dizzy/PI pump in the PI cars. Check that this is in and timed correctly if your crank pulley is correct. Also also, do a compression test to check if the motor is actually legit. And Yeah, as handsome Blizzo said, any air in PI lines will stop it from working peoperly. The injectors need over 100PSI to open and squirt properly. So if there is air trapped, it will be absorbing precious PSI, so will be running lean. Weeping injectors also won't help.

ajg193 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Does it have a rev counter? This can give you a good indication of whether the problem is ignition hardware related instead of ignition timing. A rev counter which jumps around instead of holding a steady value (within reason, ie it has to match what you can hear the engine doing) indicates that the distributor is providing a noisy signal to the coil. This could be either bad points/condenser or a dirty/bad/misaligned pickup module. Have you checked and adjusted the gaps on each spark plug? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbeam Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Your pulley problem is not ridiculously uncommon. Finding a good spare might be a challenge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piazzanoob Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 i think you will find is that the rubber piece on the crank pulley has broken away and has slipped causing your timing backshit out. I wouldnt imagine it being too hard sourcing one for this either happens from time to time on Japanese cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on using your services a fair bit once she's running - seen what you can do with throttle bodies - awesome result.

Muncie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ive got a phone book size Pi tr6 injection manual somewhere that the BL geezers used at the service centers. Will have a look for it. The previous owner hooked a decent 2nd gear peel outside my house in this i sold him a efi manifold i had on mine and a few other bits and pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumeke Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 @Carsnz123 saw that when I was down - it's pretty rough and a bit of a mission distance wise for what it's worth. But cheers for keeping me in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
