Fingerlickin_B Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Put electric pump in the boot today. Electric pump pushing to the stock mechanical = slight improvement, wherein in doesn't lean out quite as much, but still does. Electric pump only = identical symptoms to mechanical only. Electric pump gets considerably noisier during the lean events. Maybe the tank is full of crud, which blocks the pick-up sock when sloshed around, but drops out of suspension after sitting for a while?

altezzaclub Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Electric pump gets considerably noisier during the lean events. Sounds like that is definately involved. Dad had a leaf (he reckons) in the tank that periodically blocked the intake and the car died, but by the time you stopped the motor was off , the suction gone and the leaf floated away, so it re-started fine. Pop the fuel level gauge plate out of the tank and shine a torch in to see what the fuel pickup tube looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Tank vacuum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingerlickin_B Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Definitely not vacuum in the tank. This was the first thing I checked. Vented cap...leaks like a sieve on hard corners ;) Okay, pulling the pick-up out tomorrow!

Fingerlickin_B Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Well, well...so it WAS the EGR valve after all! Pulled it off & bunged the manifold with a suitable sump plug on the weekend & drove it today. Idle & off-idle hesitation issues GONE!
