Hey guys, the longest rebuild in the world is almost complete! But as you would expect things have not gone to plan. I have had my Pulsar rebuilt with standard replacement parts the only differences being 87mm oversized forged pistons and new steel con rods. I have had everything machined properley as well.
When the engine was dropped back in it fired up first time and all was happy except you could smell in the air it was overfueling. No big deal I thought as it needs to be mapped properley anyway. However now this has disappeared and in its place is a real black spot in the rev range. The car hits 2k RPM and just stops, coughs and struggles to get past.
I have decided to have the car trailored to have a basic fuel map sorted rather than risk driving the car at all to run it back in but I wondered whether anyone else had come across this. As me, my mechanic and everyone else I speak to are left scratching our heads! Any help appreciated folks.
