Gday fellow rolla club members.

 

my family just brought a 323 astina 1992

 

it is idling really low

 

and doesnt like pulling off and seems to starve of petrol and then comes to life after around 2000 rpm

 

i have checked the transmition and its fine.

 

i am convinced it is to do with either the injectors, a sensor or the fuel pump.

 

sorry for being so vague

 

and ideas what it could be and what to check

 

thanks in advance

As it's idling low and running lean have you checked the timing?

It shouldn't be fuel supply as it uses less fuel at low revs than high. So the pump shouldn't be the culprit, or a dirty filter blocking up.

 

Maybe the air mass sensor, whatever they're using is dirty and not reading correctly.

 

Are the plugs all clean and looking the same? Gaps not too big??

 

Its probably going to be fastest to get a garage to diagnose it, epecially if it has any sort of on-board diagnostics.

I havent had time to check the timing, as i don't have a timing light to do it properly

 

i recon its the sensor will check it out when i don't have work thanks fellas.

found out today, a leed had split, and wasnt working :( fml
