Six Cylinders Motoring Notes - a Workshop Day Today

[fiatdaft]

It currently has an electric pump jury rigged so engine starts, but needs a better arrangement.

 

Any other photos?

 

How do you know the car?

Just photos inside and out after the car was cleaned,It was my buddy that bought it from the family, I was just there to assist in getting out of its slumber and onto the beavertail.

How did I miss all that!

 

I can't even remember where the chance remark capsuleboy typed was that set this into motion.

 

Anyway yesterday saw progress as I now know where it is going and who is transporting it for me.

Today's car mission was a little less glamorous as I have driven our C15 van 260 miles to collect a tailgate for the Xantia that has a broken tailgate glass.

Bx 16v if the pressure sensor is duff on the fuel rail it won't fire the injectors or if there isn't enough pressure there anyway.

Mine is a 8v.

 

What should be the fuel pressure from the pump?

 

I have a borrowed fuel pressure gauge, 0-10 psig/0-0.7 kg/cm sq is it in range?

[demag]

Fuel pressure at idle should be 2 bars or about 30 psi. According to Haynes bol.

Did they have the same issues as 205 gti's with the thermo timer?

I not sure what this is?

 

I have now ordered a 7 bar fuel injection fuel pressure gauge before I return to the car.

If it was running ok before its going to be something silly.

Yes but that was 9 years ago!

Just a thought have you checked the in tank gauze filter on the fuel pickup? I've seen them covered in old fuel that's turned to jelly.

The fuel gushes out when the pump is running.

Just caught up with the whole gamma thing; absolutely superb! And a saloon, always my fave variant.

It had been on the back burner since Dec while I sorted out new storage.

[Six-cylinder]

My Oltcit wheels are ready for new tyres after an afternoons hard work.

 

At least because the tyres are being scrapped I did not have to mask them up.

[somewhatfoolish]

Immensely appropriate number on the Daimler.

[Six-cylinder]

My Oltcit has its new tyres today, but I am short of a couple of centre caps that are also used on some Citroen's.

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

[demag]

On the Bx if the injectors are getting a signal the only thing left is they are gummed up. Everything else seems to be working.

What the feck is an Oltcit?

 

To my untrained eye, it looks like some sort of Citroen Visa-based thing, built under licence.

 

 

 

 

In other news of moderate interest to Citroen lickers, I found out my boss at work has a Citroen LNA back home in France.
