Injector Firing

[Craigb 2]

I did my first road rally of the season on saturday night , well at least i started my first one .

 

Prior to the rally , because of all the niggley problems last year , it has had a really good test over 200 miles in the last two weeks . all of which has been faultless.

 

Come saturdays and the start of the Bruce Robinson , everything fine on the run up , the first section was cleaned and the engine was sweet .

 

About 2mins into the 2nd competitive section , i slowed for a code board and it died , then it fired , and 100 metres down the road it died .

 

An under bonnet inspection revealed that the injectors were firing even though the engine wasn't running .

 

Then they stopped , so i put the bonnet down , and did another 150 meters then same again .

 

I believe it will be a wire or some thing dropping them to earth , but how bloody frustrating .

 

It nearly had a flame thrown at it..

 

Lets see if Karl at Emerald can point me in the right direction .

 

A couple of good points though , the new spherical top mounts improve the front end , and the exhaust was quiet enough to go through noise without having to resort to the Brillo pad

Dr Karl's prognosis is possible water in the ecu

 

So its off for a check up today and an upgrade to K3

I was glad to learn the DTA S60 was waterproof. My car leaks like a good one!

 

So is the k3 waterproof too ? highly useful on your type of car i'd imagine

Guess what my first question was when i was told it could be water
