Hey Listers, Arrarararrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My hands are cut and I've muttered more swear words today than my entire life combined.... I finally got my parts - if you remember I needed to replace the manifold-head and manifold-exhaust gaskets.... However - with everything put back together it doesnt want to work. The engine lacks power (I'd describe it as lazy - the engine speeds up much slower) and when I put my foot down it misfires (only once). At first it didnt quite want to start - but I expected that because it has been siting in the same place for 10 days or so. Its never sat for that long - Ive driven it almost everyday since I got it. It really doesnt have any power to go up the hill I live on. It pulls away - but to get it to go anywhere I'd seriously need to rev the engine - so I havent tried to drive it. The misfire is just on sharp acceleration - and Im guessing it called that - or perhaps a backfire - small amount of smoke comes out of the k&n's accompanied by a sort of slap/pop noise from the engine. The only thing I have changed is the inlet manifold - which I swapped for a new one I happened to have. (the other one was broken where it attaches to the exhaust manifold) And the ignition leads *are* on the right way.... Ive tightened up the all the exhaust as much as I can - although there might be a chance its not quite as tight as it should be. As ever your suggestions will be most appreciated....
