Project one. Aka Astrell tweeks
Posted: 11 Jun 2017 09:22 am
I bought a f7r powered 340 in need of some tlc, as I decided it was time for me to get a project car. I bought it off Ollie in n ireland and he kindly delivered it to my door. We got it manouevered into my drive between the two of us, it would idle but not take throttle. When idling it was around 2500rpm and died out when pressing the throttle, battery went flat from dying out and restarting all the time, also the starter solenoid burnt out.
So far I have:
Recharged the battery
Replaced the coolant sensor
Replaced and Teed in the map sensor
Cleaned out idle speed control valve
Adjusted the throttle position sensor (this sorted the high idle, still won't take throttle)
Starter motor stripped and new solenoid and brushes ordered.
To do:
Reposition fuel pump closer to the tank, wondering if a non return valve would take the pressure off the pump instead?
Replace fuel lines as they look a little soft
Tidy up wiring in around the engine
Heli coil some rocker cover bolts and fit new rocker gasket
New engine oil and filter
New coolant
New spark plugs and leads
Replace timing belt
Check distributor timing
Sort body/paint
Suspension
I'm sure there will be much nore.
