Chuggering And Running Like Shit.

[JiP]

Hey, Anyones help is appreciated.

 

My KE30 has been playing up lately and I'm baffled to know what the problem is. It was only happening on highways yesterday while doing 100/110 but later begun doing this at 60 & uphills.

 

I'll be driving and if I have to accelerate up an incline or speed up to a speed, the car would start to stutter and the temp would start to rise. If I were to continue and push through by accelerating more it would start to chugger violently.

 

I'm confused and don't know what it'd be. Any ideas??

2 things I would check first:

Swap around some plug leads from another car, including one from coil to dizzy cap.

Check points gap.

Also I think you should patent the word "chuggering" cos I reckon you just invented it.

Could be dirty fuel / fuel filter??

[philbey]

Try change the plugs

 

I had a ca18det and it used to kill plugs unless you used Iridiums. Would be fine cruising, then as it came under load it would Chugger hahahah.

 

New plugs and done.

I think I did get dirty fuel. It was 98 octane wich shit me off. I've given the carby a clean, changed the fuel filter and swapped the diszzy cabled with the ones on SL2's engine. One of the cables was kinked by the heater hose. I haven't gone onto the highway get but she seems okay. Still pings a but but the temp stays really low. I'll see how she is tomorrow on the way to work.

It pings and chuggs on 98 octane?????? what the?

[JiP]

Not to mention that I use octane booster tablets too. Thats why with the Qld cruise that I've planned I've moved the starting point away from that servo as I don't want any cars breaking down cause of their dodgy fuel.

Possibly a fuel float problem in the carby; leaning the thing out from insufficient fuel ?

 

Hmmm

Check your timing and advance sysytems, similar thing happrned to me, and it was the mechanical advance sticking. so i'd be going along fine, then uder a bit of load she'd start "chuggering"!

 

A little bit of lube never hurt anyone!

I had a blown head gasket when my hatch was doing that ( but i could be wrong, i often am )

stop using 98 O and octain tablets and the pinging should go away, if you havent done damage already. your fuel is about 100 O atm and its only ment to handel 95 O at most assuming it is a stock 4k-c motor with 9:1 compression to 9.5:1 compression but if its a 3k than you have really gone and done it because a 3k-c only has 8.5:1 compression so don't even use 94 O.

 

8.5:1 to 9.3:1 comp use 91 O. 3K 4K.

9.3:1 to 9.5:1 comp use 94/95 O. NOTE 94 O IS SHIT, ITS CUT BAD. 4K 5K

over 9.5:1 to 10.1:1 use 98 O. 5k

over 10.1:1 use 100 O and a heavy foot. :S well faced 3k 4k 5k

11.5 and over you will need to fill ap at the local airfield, AV GAS YEAAR. :) crazzy k

19.0:1 and over use nitro and a fule shut off valve. :) stuffed if i know, man with death wish.

Spitto that is UTTER BULLSHIT.

 

If you're correct then an Aero engine such as a Lycoming O-360 running 130/100 (130 octane rich burn, 100 lean burn) should do nothing but ping because it only runs 8.5:1 compression.

 

I ask you to please refrain from posting any more bullshit. There are numerous posts made by you in the trashcan because of the poor quality of information. We strive for a high quality of information on rollaclub unlike some other forums.
