LM002 RHD Rolling restoration.. will be updated regularly

Tonights progress

An ignition switch mis-wire which had power on to the injectors at the off and accessory position and no power at the start and run positions - fixed

Fuel delivery - fuel's getting to the injectors and the injectors are pulsing

Spark - one bad power supply to one coil , fixed , we have spark

JUST not at the right time !

We have a timing issue to trace, the boys working on it now , we're getting closer.

 

Turning over at about 60 rpm with 2 batteries instead of 200 rpm

 

We pulled out all the spark plugs and cranked the engine to check for spark.

2 out of 6 plugs on each bank have a strong spark, 2 are intermittent and 2 will fire when the starter just comes on and just comes off, I suspect we have a voltage drop affecting the ECUs

We're trying again with the ECUs on an independent battery from the starter.

 

On an independent battery for the ECU we now have good spark on all 12 plugs, putting the plugs back in and trying a start.

 

No start, the engine is kicking against the starter motor which means there's an ignition timing problem

 

Taffy, tomorrow they're going to double check all the sensors , a physical check on top dead centre with the borescope and change the distributor cap but it's looking like an ECU problem. One of the ECUs won't shut off the fuel pump when the line is pressurized , the other ECU will

 

Confirmed , dead ECU on the left cylinder bank no signal to all 6 injectors and only 5 out of 6 firing on the right bank

 

Will be interested how the Haltech works out, was also looking at this for my 308, if the original plan of mechanical injection does not work out. They look like solid product at a sensible price.

 

Taffy, were did you buy the LM model and how much was it?

 

Thanks for the info Taffy. I have a black one coming for $200 shipping included!

 

My God, What do they spray on the roads? rust and electrical contact killer ? J/k.


Good luck, I'm sure it will look awesome when done.

 

That's really nice! Weight difference?
