d16 rough bumpy ride

[Fo55il]

d16 issues:

car is really bumpy, doesnt drive smooth sometimes.
its liek the fuel is cutting out and the car stalls sometimes.

any idea wat it could be?
contaminated fuel ?

really giving me the shits

[anzai]

not sure exactly, but have you tried different petrol? i used to only go with bp 91 for teh cheap, then decided try try 95 and somehow noticed some improvements, like the car doesnt shake as much when idling.. but then i tried shell 95 and somehow noticed some performance gain O.O

not sure how

[Fo55il]

nah nah mang

this isnt just shaking.

its like monstor shake / vibrations and then stalling or idles dropping.

checked oil. no coolant leaks.

gon hit the spark plugs in the mornign to see

[bennjamin]

clearly the engine is running out of balance - that is , loose external part such as mount or loose/non-working spark plug lead etc.

[Fo55il]

but it only happens after a while ....

say wen i start driving it after liek 20 30 mins ?????

and not always

liek today i drove 30 to uni 30 back no problems

but at night it started shaking !!!!

[SuiJin]

mine was dancing around when i had a loose fuel filter plug. wsasnt losing fuel as much but. i could feel it dance :p

[Fo55il]

so in the morning wat shoudl i check ?

fuel filter + surroudnign areas
spark plugs + igintion leads

anythin else ?

[Fo55il]

car just turned off wile i wsa driving
n then to start it had to pump the peddle a bit

timing maybe ?

[~Sp33~]

Vacuum leaks? Distributor coil?

[Fo55il]

could these problems be linked to timing at all?

because i removed my dizzy and forgot to mark it

then had to kinda fiddle to get it 'kinda' right a few months back

shoudl get it timed

[burner42]

u just answered your question mate, sounds like the main cause

[Fo55il]

hmm ye i just kinda remembered. thats the first thing im gon do

but wierd that it just started happeneing.

the bolts r tight as fek so no movement

[burner42]

the actual timing gets adjusted even with a slight variation, u might want to ask the other guys in the xclusive_eg8's thread, he also had a dizzy problem.

[~Sp33~]

I've never had any driving issues, even with the timing at either extreme on the distributor. I really doubt that timing is your issue here. Did you recently replace the distributor? Do you know if it's in good condition?

[Fo55il]

nope had for a long gggg timeee now !!!!

u rekon its that ?

[~Sp33~]

Do you have someone you can swap with to see if it cancels the problem? It's possible that it's the problem.
