brownnova Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 V6 misfires! You’ve reminded me of my other news… Back in July I applied to the council for a trailer permit for the tip. 7 weeks later they rejected it on the basis that my car (The Pontiac) was a van. So I appealed. Friday had a letter from them where they admitted they had mis-identified the vehicle as their research had shown the TransSport as a Minivan… and that they now realises this is an American term for people carrier… So I can now take the TransSport, and the trailers full of garden waste which have been slowly rotting on my driveway for the past couple of months to the tip. Except that the Pontiac is now misfiring and may well not quite have the guts to pull the trailers to the tip… Fucksake. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Detroit airport is a very long building. Our onward flight is now helpfully showing as "delayed" with no further explanation or estimates shown...never a good sign. The inbound flight is on time...so not late arrival of that (assuming they're turning the same plane around to head back anyway, which there's no guarantee of).

Checked plugs had spark, replaced them anyhow because cheap, no change you can remove the HT lead from cylinder 4 and the engine idle does not change. Bought 2017 at 62k as first car did my test in it, dead at 122k. Will sit in my drive till we buy something else as an insurance anchor. Time for a brew. Compression test is a must. If you've got ~0 psi on Cyl 4 then yes it's scrap. If it's low it's probably not going to be stuck, but rather burned out. If it's fine then you need to interrogate the fuel and ignition system a bit more. Just because you've got a spark doesn't mean it can't misfire Spray easy start into the intake and see if it improves, then you'll know if an injector is faulty Etc etc It's a bit hasty to write the car off based on a youtube video, If I followed every youtube video then any car I look at probably would have more wrong with it than it does right!!

Zelandeth Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Yay, our plane has finally arrived (not the one from Heathrow, so that was the cause for our delay). We'll be leaving ~2.5 hours late. The flight that just arrived (1820 local time) was due in at 0530 this morning...so I have sympathy for the poor folks just getting off the aircraft! So we'll be departing around 2030 local - and arriving in Heathrow at 0833 local the following morning. Taking bets on how many weeks it takes my body clock to figure out what on earth is going on...

It was just two trellis panels around the oil tank, still very good condition and saves us buying again. I have spent a fortune on this rental house stock fencing 150ft perimeter and fitting 5 bar wooden gates that we are leaving so a couple of bits of trellis I’m definitely keeping to save £60 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not totally given up on it, but I am being realisitic with the rust, and other issues plus the plan regardless to shop for something more modern in early 2023 it was always on it's end with us. Got an interested neighbour who plans to take it on a as project should the afformentioned plan fail. Personally I'd compression test it first, much quicker than swapping injectors around. Although that would depend on you having access to a compression tester. Or buy one, they're not that expensive and a useful thing to have for DIY tinkering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its smoking from the n/s exhaust and is occasionally barely running at all. Theres smoke coming from the dipstick too, so I'm wondering if its the oil breather separator? I can see that from the top of the engine, just need to figure out a way to get to it by removing all the fucking shite above it. Although it might be just a hose or something in the same area, there was a little smoke on startup today coming from that area. Will start removing stuff this weekend, weather depending, to see if I can find a likely culprit. In good news, maybe the oil leak thats made a mess of the street outside my house is nothing. The oil filler neck wasn't on right. Upon looking, it comes off if you overtighten the cap. Some proper crappy design there. I was hoping that it was meant to create enough of a vaccum to let the car run properly and not being seated was the cause of all my problems but alas no, it's still shite. MOT is out soon and its not got any off road parking so I'm gonna have to figure summink out fast... Dragged myself out today to look at the Jag. Spent ages removing all the plastic shit covering everything so that I could see down the back of the engine and then started it up to see if anything looked odd or was leaking. It ran absolutely fine. No smoke, idling fine. Absolutely spot on. Fucking wanksocks. Typical. Ran my hand around and couldn't feel anything blowing or owt either. I did think about taking out the oil separator and cleaning it etc but its only £50 for a new one from JLR main stealers so will try and get one from Guiseley tomorrow. So I've put all the plastic shite back on it again. No doubt when I swap it round with the Nissan later it'll be running like shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
