just bought an fc, it seems to be in ok condition starts no problem hot or cold. however when i sit with it on the drive and rev it say to 3000 rpm as the revs are falling it seems to be missing slightly. i will be ordering new plugs and leads and give it a full service.
anyone have any ideas what could be causing it. Also noticed there is a missing earth that should be on the bulk head, possibly to the inlet manifold.
Its probably the hesitation between the primary and secondary injectors firing, there is a crossover point where the secondaries ramp up and the primaries drop down at about there.
A full service is always good :) but also check for air leaks in the long rubber inlet pipe for any leaks underneeth which might cause it to miss slightly.
would that crossover still happen when it is revving in neutral? i haven\'t actually driven it yet mate, because its not mot\'d.
Yeah a full set of plugs and or leads never goes amiss. Plus oil change etc etc.
What plugs and leads are you going for? I changed mine for some manicor ones off Mazda Rotary Parts, I actually felt a difference in the power output as there was a proper spark :D
Hmmm... if the miss is on the run down (presuming throttle closed?) then it\'s going to be something other than the injector cross over (which is around 3700 iirc) - is it constant, or just the odd miss as the revs drop?
it just kind of judders and if i tap rapidly on the throttle i get some real good cracks and pops out of the back should have said its a standard egi.
Might be the TPS (throttle position sensor) that might be off slightly, I know mine was, meaning that when the throttle is closed, the sensor thinks its slightly open, so increases the fueling
i have to admit i have ran magnacor leads on my last 2 FC\'s and they are very good - only downside - they arent cheap :(
