That LRP is nothing but trouble, my mum was putting it in her car ('80
C0r0na) and was wondering why the car was running so bad, there was no
pickup, no power just simply no guts. I told her not to fillup at Shell
or Woolworths and so the next day she just got BP and it was back to
normal.
Same thing happened to my friend on the weekend, his '83 L@$er was
nearly stalling at idle and he had done the same thing, told him to put
some 'real' fuel in and it was all good.
Has anyone noticed that the spark plugs get crapped up a lot quicker
from this stuff?

Zac,
Its called PT, not a Cruiser by Chrysler - public transport!
So where's your good advice on whats wrong with the Mazda? I'm thinking
it may be a tight tappet adjustment, any other thoughts?

Luke Clough has been have little joy in his 1600 since installing a VL
Commodore fuel pump to his EFI L series engine last week. His idea was
to overcome fuel starvation being experienced on very hot days after
sitting at the lights, by pumping more fuel to cool the rail.
Problem became even more pronounced this week leading to embarrassments
like pushing the car after it dies at the lights!
I travelled to Melbourne today tandem trailer in tow and I was under
instruction by my financial advisor (wife, Lynn) to hand over her
Commodore to Luke, so he had reliable transport for work until he, or I,
had his fuel problem sorted out.
I have been nagging him to replace the original fuel pressure regulator
ever since he fitted the engine, as its adjustment thread was worn out.
Obviously motivated by the threat of driving the Commodore, Luke finally
did it today. The replacement regulator cost $4 (off a 6 cyl EFI
Skyline). So far, his engine is purring and pulling strongly at 5500 -
something it didn't do before- hopefully problem solved.
I'm not saying anything.
Meanwhile his sister Amy's Mazda Capella (piston engine) has been
reluctant to start when cold. It pops and spits back as if it has a
manifold leak, or is running lean. But as soon as it gets a tiny bit of
heat in the engine it runs like a watch. I have swapped carbies, fitted
a new coil, leads and points, checked for leaks in the manifold. No
change.
Any Suggestions anyone?
I had to smile as I was coming home from Melbourne tonight still towing
the tandem, with the Mazda leering at me in the rear view mirror. I was
supposed to be bringing the Datto home to fix, but a simple $4 part got
it going well. However, $64 didn't fix the Mazda - typical. I wish we
had another 1600 for Amy.
