Glo-plug Relay Issue and then some ???
Let's start at the beginning. I found a low miler (75,000 mi) 1982 300 Turbo. The car had been setting for about eight years. Car had no keys until I got new ones from the dealer. So I made a jumper wire to power up the Glo-plug relay and jumped the starter to get it fired up. This is after purging all the fuel and oil and refreshing everything and giving it a few turns to get oil pressure. I drove the car home a couple of weeks later about 150 miles. It has a miss at idle and I've done all the purge tricks I can think of. Runs smooth at 1000 RPM and little to no blow-by. The battery went dead on the way home too. I just found out tonight that the Glo-plug relay on while running warmed all the time while running and was the draining the system down big time. (See dmorrison's thread on Dead battery, new battery, new altenator. It's a great thread).
OK here are the questions: Did I screw up the Glo-pug relay by powering it up (jumped red wire #15 on the relay)? Could this have damaged cyl #4 at idle? It's smooth at 1000 RPM and above. When I first fired it up it was smooth until it warmed up. Now it missed at idle pretty much all the time. I hope to get hooked up with a new injector this week. Torgue on the injector is 80 Knewton pounds torque or so. How many Red neck foot pounds is that?????? ![]() ![]()

Torque: I think you ment to say Newton meters not pounds. Try http://www.onlineconversion.com/torque.htm for conversions.
Still pondering your other questions. |
