Nice one Phil, well spotted. We'll have to get this one put up in the general FAQ and How-to section. Coil failure is a common cause of bad running.

And by the side; one of the guys in the US...

Congrats, Glenn

That's a good deal for what seems a well kept motor.

Your plan is good I reckon. When you have done the engine swap and so on, before you consign your current one to the scrap...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Obfuscating gearbox more likely.

Way to go!!:D :D

You can't have too much of a good thing, I reckon.;)

Also, just occurred to me, there are not many coupe styles that stand the test of time, like the Monza and the SVX.

Yes, same thing, will work.

When you take off the rubber inlet behind the throttle bodies, you spray into the area where the butterflies are. Looking in, you may see a line of gum alongside where...

Re: Re: Obfuscating gearbox more likely.

Glad the POWER trick worked for you Glenn.:) In NORMAL mode the shifts are way smoother and it shifts up a gear sooner. I used the blip trick a lot on the motorway before I decided to keep the...

Obfuscating gearbox more likely.

Glenn,

Things like a dirty air filter and bad MAF sensor do cause jerky progress at low revs.

However, Arthur and I have been moaning about the learning mode of the gearbox for years.

Glen

I am presuming you got it tracked full monty? Nothing short of four-wheel laser tracking will do. And it needs a guy doing it that understands the geometry as well, not a joe soap job.

Well, sorry to hear that.

One other option you may not have considered is to use a breathable cover over the car to stop rainwater getting in, and the good ones filter UV rays and slow down paint...

thanks Phil, appreciate the offer, and I hope to avail of any help you can give.

I don't expect to be taking it apart before November. At that stage, I will have my Legacy twin-turbo out of...

Likewise

Mine also finds the half way mark and refuses to move off it for anything.

Generally gets up there pretty quickly, but on really cold winter mornings, it can take a few miles or so.

I may get...

They are a little bit bling, but I like them a lot. Imagine they would be difficult to clean if you have to traverse many mucky fields like at winter race meetings and so on.

Like the Monza a...

Lightbulb Fiat Lucida!

To avoid confusion, not the manufacturer Fiat, it's a pun on Fiat lux from the Latin. From the bible...........

Lost you yet?;)

It's the Latin for "Let there be Toyota people carriers!"
