03/1997 Probe 2.5 V6 - Crank No Start/Spark
Re: 03/1997 Probe 2.5 V6 - Crank No Start/Spark
LOL....just found it! Looked like it was plugged in perfect to underside of the fusebox!!
Phew....was getting worried for a minute there I'd gone completely nuts.
I think I can see why the end bolt/fitting on the end of the fuel rail might be leaking. Was massively stuck and hard to undo. Seems cross threaded so might explain it. Will see if I can uncross it and re-insert to get it nicely tightened up. Might be worth replacing the washers anyway as I guess they are almost single use once crushed a bit.

Well done mate new it would be there some where around there tucked away so should tick over
better now if you repace the copper washers on the fuel rails warm them up abit and there crush better
if you take all the banjo bols out the ends of the fuel rails and do the lot take (note) there different
jets installed

Fixed the little fuel weep. Just seemed a tight stiff bolt. Took it out and cleaned it up then re-inserted and all tightened up nicely. I suspect it has never been out or removed since new until recently. Can't see any fuel weeping now and seems good. Will keep an eye open though to make sure. Don't want any fuel leaks!
So after fully back together and MAF plugged in, its on the button and sounds good. Nice even idle now. Bit tappy from the top/back but seems outside the engine so will see if this eases over time. I guess all systems will be a bit off initially as by all accounts it hasn't run much or at all for many years. Sounds really good though so positive start.
Exhaust seems knackered I reckon as plenty of fumes coming from the centre/underneath. I'll look to replace the whole exhaust as even dry stored for 20 years I can't see how it will be in perfect shape. Not expensive to replace I expect.
So a fairly long list of standard work/consumables to re-commission to get it up to scratch. Then MOT time. Shouldn't take me too long to go through.
