Id be a bit suspicious about your injectors. Always use E5 fuel but never from a supermarket and dose the fuel with injector cleaner. It'll cost very little and may clear the problem up. (low power when ticking - ok when quiet!) Made a big difference to the Flying Machine when I first bought it off ...

Just out of interest has anyone ever scanned a probe with an obd1 scanner and did it work?
I tried to diagnose what turned out to be a cps cut wire with an analogue circuit tester and it gave me an exhaust sensor fault.

Hi Steve
In your position I’d look to getting it repaired.
Mine was replaced with a recon about 8 years ago and it looked like new. It’s worked well ever since. About £200 from memory.

Two things will cause an otherwise ok engine to not start. CPS circuit and No1 tdc sensor. Can’t remember its proper acronym. When the cps fails it will keep running till you stop it cus it knows from the tdc where the rotation of the engine is, but when stopped it needs the positional info from the...

I'd be inclined to check for casting cracks if you've done all that, but have you checked the o-ring compression? Measure the bore the o ring sits in then measure the outside diameter of the fitted o-ring when fitted to the dizzy. you need about "0.015 thou (0.4mm if you've been converted) compressi...

Is it a 2ltr or 2.5 for erratic revs If its 2 ltr it could well be carbon in the throttle control body (auto choke). I used to get that regularly every 3 years. Check your coolant level is correct though, before getting the spanners out as the waxstat works on water temp. No water - no control. For ...

When I first started reading I was thinking fuel filter, especially after being laid up so long. Id be inclined to change the fuel, the fuel filter and air filter as a matter of course and Id give the fuel some injector cleaner too. When I bought the FM it had been running on supermarket fuel (false...

I would still be inclined to backflush the heater matrix. It can get air locked on a 2ltr even though logic says its not not the heater.

I wouldnt. I was always able to take out the 4 screws holding the waxstat valve cover on with the body in situ. My memory is hazy as I havent don this in years but from memory engine coolant flows past a wax operated piston that in turn regulates the tickover air volume. This whole mechanism gets cl...

Sounds like coking up of the thermoststic throttle control valve if its a 16v.

Very, very carefully take it apart and clean it (in situ). Watch out for the spring.

It was a regular 2 - 3 year job on the Flying Machine.

Make sure your water level is correct and check that first.
