Duddley Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 THATS EXACTLY RIGHT. you see, the man is in charge of the corporations. and the corporations be hating on punks with cars. so they go to "the man" that deals out the WOFs. And the corporations, well they're all corporation-y. Since they be hatin, then the wof man be hatin, and in turn we all hatin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I wonder if the fuel is over heating. like getting warm as after shooting up to the engine, then back to the tank, at a mad rate. You might need a fuel cooler. have had same problem with my car, it gets worse if the fuel level is low, and im tootling around slowly, as the pump just hoons the fuel round and round. fill up with gas and give it berries and problem goes away as fuel gets colder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddley Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 That's a damn good point ya have there. I would also explain why on some days it wouldn't start stuttering till later in the drive which was probably on colder days. I'm gona see if I can get my hands on a spare/second hand oil cooler and dodgey it up for a gas cooler with a fan mounted on it behind the grill. if it works, then I'll spend the cash and get a permanent non-fireball setup.

mikuni Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Do some googling on the subject - surely there would be a better way of cooling the fuel than running it through an oil cooler? Something like a heat sink? How are your fuel lines run? I've always though in cabin or rubber lines would get warmer than metal lines run under the car. Never thought it would cause a problem though. Try running a super full tank and seeing if it takes longer to cause a problem/too jew?

Vintage Grumble Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I've not had time to ponder this, but highly doubt in this case that it will be over heating foowills tbh. I'll get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duddley Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Cheers dude! Always trying my hardest to make it as swoon-worthy as poss I had a geeze at the fuel lines, and they enter into the engine bay right next to one of the exhaust headers which can't help the heat at all. I have some spare heat wrap that I'm thinking of wrapping those headers in first. Question is - would heat wrap make a huge difference in external temperature? Was also thinking of making up a bit of a heat shield out of tin or similar too.. thoughts? Could make a gas tank out of an old fridge if it gets super bad maybe.. hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Whats the specs on the new pump? Got any info on it? What was the last one, just a VL pump ay? So it only does it when hot? It obviously only does it under load? Low down in the revs or up higher? Fit a super charger, will fix everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddley Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The new pump is a Walbro GSS342 in-tank pump that can crank 255lph (litres per hour?). This new pump can fill a bucket up with gas heaps fasterer than the old VL(?) one. Yeah it only does the stuttering when hot and does it when its idling along, idling while standing still and while accelerating - but only while hot. I took it for another drive yesterday and was being very gentle with the go pedal and only putting around to see if I could prolong the stutter.. surely enough I was able to go a fair bit further before it started acting up. So plan this weekend is: wrap the passenger side header in heat wrap, cable tie the fuel lines up and out of the way (the filter is sitting on the cam cover, can't be good for it) and then possibly try make a bit of a heat shield. If it still plays up then at least we'll know it shouldn't be a hot fuel problem. Cross your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddley Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Fit a super charger, will fix everything. Funny you mention that. Cazz sent me valentines chocolates with a card and said "sorry this isn't a supercharger". So I mounted the chocolates to the top of engine and did a skid. that'll show her 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, it's still playing up. Either the petrol is still getting too hot when passing through the engine.. or its ECU related or something. Would it be worth looking to clean out the injectors?

Goat Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Temp senders spazzing out at operating temp? Does it have exhaust temp or coolant temp or even air flow temp? maby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddley Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It's got water temp and a pretty fancy air flow meter? I've often thought that the water temp sensor could be bung and could do with a replacing.. Could it also be a bung fuel pump?! argh.. too many things. will play this weekend.

Spencer Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I would only blame it on hot fuel once you eliminate all the basics. Shit you can eliminate the hot fuel thing by just seeing if it happens with a full tank of gas, a full tank is a fucking massive heat sink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yeh, it so aint hot gas, will be water temp sensor to ecu I reckon. You could try (if you havent already) unplugging the AFM and seeing if the problem still happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
