  1. I had the same issue (documented on here) with off-idle hesitation. i found you just need to keep playing AE to get a sweet spot. The problem that not enough is just as bad as too much. I actually swopped my gearbox from manual to auto which helped the most tbh as theres no need to blip.
  2. Interesting experience and mirrors a lot of what i was finding running it with a manual. I could never get that crisp on/off throttle response and compensated with a bit more clutch slip. It improved with playing with acceleration enrichment on ms1 (its not like in the picture above on ms1, its more basic) and i also amended the fuel maps so that the columns on the VE map were tighter at lower RPMs giving more control over fuelling at the 1000>1600 area of the map which is crucial when bimbling about. I also had all of your cold start issues and symptoms and feel your pain! Im running a idle valve and whilst its another layer of complexity it does really help. Im not sure I could have got the tune bang on for all temps and conditions without it. Its not particulrly difficult to add and configure in MS either. What you probably dont want to hear lol is that I couldnt put up with the manual anymore and binned it in favor of an autobox and its transformed the vehicle and much more driveable with MS now as the autobox take away the need for absolutely bang on odd idle throttle response tbh. Looks like your making solid progress though, congrats.
  3. Hey guys, currently doing a auto conversion on my 90. By chance does anybody know the part number for the gearbox to chassis mount? ive got the tbox one, but a bit stuck on the autbox one. It didnt come with one and a google for disco1 and RRC didnt come up with anything.
  4. Enjoy the project, and you will find this forum invaluable for the help along the way.
  5. on megasquirt a quick and dirty way of getting in the right ballpark (assuming everything said above) is to run the VE table tuning whilsst your driving the vehicle assuming you have a o2 sensor. It should put it into the right ball park... it not magic though and if there are just underlying issues it will mask them.
  6. You can get mechanics stethoscope for a few quid on Amazon. Doubt it’s your issue though. You just tried tuning it yet?
  7. Thanks, I’ll look into that. Guessing there is a setting in TS to turn it on. Is the MS rpm output pretty universal then?
  8. Hey all. I quite fancy a 52mm rev counter to replace the temp gauge which I don’t need anymore. What’s the best 52mm tachometer and how do you connect it up with Megasquirt? Thanks!
  9. the light on mine gives a bit of a glow sometimes when idling even, its just inherint to the engine isnt it. unless you think youve done something wrong id at least try and start it for a few seconds to be sure. your engine must have been apart more times than triggers broom at this point and id be gagging to get to the next milestone! good luck.
  10. i was told by RPI on my engine to just run it. you wont get any oil pressure when cranking. have you started it yet?
  11. pack it with vaseline or something. not required on the serp iirc. i filled my up and then put some down the oil cooler lines and it was fine.
  12. thats fair enough but cant see why you wouldnt at least get it idling right and generally behaving otherwise surely hes going to be second guessing all over again once its back together. if it was me it would certainly make me feel better too lol
  13. Sounds like your on a new track to hopefully getting it sorted..... would it not be worth getting it running well as is and ironing out the multitude of issues your having before stripping it? You wont want to be doing all that second guessing and worrying once its back together. just a thought
  14. I think I’d just get it running something like before you start another engine rebuild lol. At least it will make you feel better! If you can get idling and running ok you’ve got so much more idea what else needs doing
