Thanks guys for the feedback. Fridge Freezer, what does that mean though? The injectors I have have been reconditioned and seem to be working fine. The injector loom is quite simple really, if we had made a mistake with the wiring it wouldn't run at all would it? What do I need to check next? Could there be a fault with the board?

erm.....sorry for being a numpty but whats the amplifier?

The spare alternator I have won't fit, well it will but you have to take it a part and use part of the old case. I didn't do that but did change the brushes and the regulator. Unfortunately it didn't make a difference a part from getting another 0.5 volt out of the alternator. I've got a spare coil pack, I'll try that next. Anymore suggestions chaps?

One thing that sometimes happens is that when you tighten the sensor to the plenum it pinches the throttle mechanism and makes it stick part open. A couple of gaskets or washers will give it enough room to move freely.

Just a quickie, what does a normal batt v log look like? Is it steady line or does it oscillate like mine (excluding the portion where it drops while under load)?

When we put the trigger wheel on we had a lot of problems with the timing. With the mark on the crank and the engine lined up the trigger wheel bolts didn't line up. With rocker cover off, cylinder 1 valves closed and piston at the top we found the marks were off. The crank mark was about 3mm anticlockwise away from the pointer. With this set the trigger wheel bolts lined up. My question is, how do I time it up now? Nige, the pipe from the pmw valve is really tight, we had to heat it up to get it on, I'm worried it might be damaged if I remove it. Do you have the part number, or can you supply a replacement? Alternatively can I just use a hose clamp?

Everything is wired up as per the schematics. Sensors to the ecu and then ecu to the battery.

Thank you for the quick response. I had reset the tps and I wasn't holding full throttle. I was holding it where it was starting to misfire. I ran the alternator wire separately to the ms loom but it is close as it runs along the left side of the left cylinder bank. I will try and relocate it and I do have a new alternator which I will now try. All my earths are separately run to the battery and soldered but I'll re-check to see if one has come loose. Would a faulty coil pack cause this, I have a spare one I could try unless its definitely not the culprit.

Hi, I've been lurking around this forum for a while trying to learn as much as I can. I recently bought and installed a MS from Nigel (a great kit and suport I hasten to add). Before I start I'd just like to say what a great forum this is, a lot of effort invested by many - a virtual beer to you all. I got my 3.9 serpentine up and running. I havent checked the timimg or adjusted the idle yet but she starts first time and idles pretty well. Keen to get it playing with it I tried a bit of tuning the other night using TS and at around 3500 revs it started to run rough and auto tune really ramped up the fuel at that point. I ran a log this morning and I noticed that where the misfire was happening my voltage was dropping, is this a symptom of something? I've attached a graph, would be grateful for some ideas. Cheers Kev
