The Nyles EFI issues thread!!!!

[NYLES]

Just to make sure I'm seeing this right, this is the oil fill cap you are talking about. I'm going to start my EFI swap today and will retain my FMS valve covers. They have a vented cap right now, so I'll have to change it to a non-vented.

David

yes, you need to plug your vents, but your still gonna need to hook a vac line on one to the throttle body

BUT wait where is your pcv mines in the intake?

Nyles,

If you're burning coolant you'll be able to smell it in the exhaust. Is there a reason you suspect the head gasket? Did you have the heads off? There are other places water can get into a cylinder. What about EGR coolant?

Just to clarify, the valve covers need to be EFI spec. and the oil fill cap must seal. The engine cannot be vented to atmosphere. If it is, you will get un-metered air into the engine and the ECM will not be able to correct.

If I remember correctly, Spareparts is running a truck lower and without a provision for pcv in the intake. his would be located in the valve cover.

no egr

heads aint been off in a year, since the dropped valve on the p's and the AFR swap

only thing been off was intake for this swap, and yes I pray thats were it is, gaskets I just got are way better than the felpro's I used first time and these even have metal in em, they for a 89 mustang

I noticed way before when running a carb it woul do this on the right bank longer than the left but soon as was warm stopped, not near as bad though

 

[NYLES]

is there a way to really know if it fuel or water at the exhaust?

I know right after first start up lil water is expect from condensation in the exhaust but it never changed yesterday after runnin at least a hr

 

[NYLES]

Also check and see if there is fuel in the vacuum hose that is hooked to the fuel pressure regulator. If the diaphragm is busted, it will suck raw fuel into the intake.

A ok no fuel here

You should be able to tell from the plugs. Excess fuel will be black, water will make it clean.

You might have some water buildup in your muffler on that side. Like I said keep you eye on the coolant level and drive it to get any water burnt out.

Yes that's what I'm going to be running. I was thinking that the crankcase needed to be sealed. I'm going to keep the Tall Polished Motorsport valve covers, so I'll have to have a sealed cap for the oil fill or the drivers side.

Sorry for the highjack Nyles!

Just got back from pulling plugs 1 5 and 8 wet and black smell like gas

ok Ill go put in 195 thremostat and replace code reader batteries, do that IAB adj you said to do and report back in a lil bit

does fuel pressure need to be checked running or ok with just the pumps on? I have a problem doing this running as BBK reg and my gauge are not the same size, and my tester well no schaer valve on bbk fuel rail...hell gonna go see I can find the right fittin to make this gauge work all the time...eliminate that as an issue

#8 again? You need to figure out where that fuel is coming from. Either you have a problem with the harness or fuel regulator.

Fuel pressure can be checked with just pumps on.

8 same as 1 and 5 when I say "wet" just plug wet with fuel all 3 of em

ok dont growl, but BBK fuel rail and the 100$ reg

 

[2busy]

I will start drawing them up, yes, something a bit different, just been busy with other projects. Looking at something very simple, yet effective and easy to use. Tired of Bronco stuff being the most expensive parts in the 4x4 world.

 

[NYLES]

VW I only pulled those three, not all eight but those were all the same fuel wet, going to change thremostat, install fuel pressure gauge, set idle like you said adj fuel pressure if needed give a report hr or so! thanks!

and see if I can get some codes

Ok. With only #8 wet I would think maybe fuel is pooling in the intake and taking the easiest path out. With #1 and #5 also wet I thinking maybe something else is going on. Could be the EFI is confused by other issues (thermostat, idle, etc) and is causing a rich condition or may be an ignition problem. Start by knocking out the thermostat and idle reset and pull KOER codes after getting it warm. EFI needs a good standard baseline to run well.

Here is some good reading with some things to think about: http://sbftech.com/index.php/topic,119.0.html

Ok yall can forget everything we been fixin! changed thermo, installed pressure gauge(adj a lil), then well fired it up, well I must say I own the baddest 4 cyl V8 on the planet, I even just cranked it with the whole left bank unplugged, 5-8 bank aint firing???

I sit amazed!

bet someones gonna say need a new eec?

its also amazing none of you my helpers are online?

 

[BroncoJAK]

If you think that's amazing we had a Chev 1 ton diesel at work with a crank broke right in half. The damned thing started right up and just wouldn't die. 4 cylinder diesel with no acc drive.?:? Sorry about the hijack-well not really.
