i've been away for a week and my mechanic checked the injectors while I was away. Turns out 1 and 6 weren't spraying correctly so he's changed them, which has improved the situation somewhat, the kangarooing has mostly gone although it still doesn't run smoothly at steady throttle, but now the car had developed a tendency to stall until its fully warmed up, so there's still cylinders missing at idle. also seems to be down on power at low revs.
plans today are to drop the fuel tank for a thorough cleaning - water seems to be getting in there and I want to know if there's a leak somewhere - and try to clean out the fue lines and system.
i also plan to adjust the EHA back a little bit. I think we may have overdone things while tweaking a few months ago. Cured the hot start problem but it may have contributed to the current problems.
i'd love to be able to check the fuel pressures myself but don't have access to a gauge. is this something I could buy or have made up, does anyone know?
