Okay, I usually wouldn't have too much of a problem researching and screwing around until I fix a problem... But I don't have the liberty of time! Moving in eight days and would like to have the car running properly!
Just completed a front case swap - All timing components were off the motor. As far as I know, and as far as I can tell, everything was assembled correctly (Otherwise I wouldn't have put it together!). Did the insertion test to ensure the rear balance shaft was in phase, and all the marks lined up. Checking timing when the car was together, at #1 tdc the cam marks match up and the crank pulley aligns with the mark - That is to say, I don't think the timing is screwed up! Or at least I hope not.
But the car won't run worth a damn. It will not idle or run below 1700ish rpm, just sputters and kills itself. It's dumping lots of fuel out, misfiring. I've checked everything my tired brain can think to check, but I'm out of luck and ideas.
It would probably help lots if I posted a video, hopefully tomorrow.
I was hoping it was just badly fouled plugs or something similarly easy, but I managed to limp it out of the driveway, take it down the street, and get a bit of water/meth flowing through to help clean things out but no improvement. I haven't checked the plugs again, I'm out of time this evening.
I did try and set the timing on the car, but as it won't idle it's impossible to set the base. Managed to get it down to about 1500rpm and the timing was coming back down towards 10 degrees, so I don't think it's horribly out - But again can't know until I can get the car to idle. The CAS was at the end of its' adjustment, which is the only thing that makes me question the alignment of the timing components.
Anyways... Need some help!
Thanks in advance, guys. Appreciated.
