Found the problem, the water temperature sensor
plug had a bent pin and was making it think the motor was stone cold I presume,
= mega rich mixture.
Runs great, now for an exhaust...

Hi Listers
I've got the Z20E running in the wagon
but I'm looking for some suggestions because it's basically running like
a bag of shit. It idles pretty consistently but backfires a bit
(big flame/spark from the exhaust). When you give it some throttle it just
whinges and carries on and just about dies, but will sometimes build revs, and
when it does it blows a ton of smoke (which smells kinda like fuel and is
blueish in colour)
How likely is it that lifting the engine by the
head has damaged the head gasket? I suspected a vacuum leak but I have
checked every hose I can find. The timing (dizzy) is identical to what
it was in the sedan, and I double checked the firing order with the 'rabbit
eared' valves to find TDC. The computer is hooked up exactly
the same way as it was in the sedan too. It's run fine (but bloody
loudly) previously with only 12" of exhaust. It also has been kept
vertical the whole time, and I've tried it with both the old TPS and the new
one Errol sent me.
It's got me stumped because it ran perfectly in
the sedan only a few weeks ago!
Anybody got any ideas?!
Cheers!
