Hi All...
This is my first post (so I must be really stuck )
I will try to explain this as best as I can, I will have to tell you the whole story so you get the gist of how it happened.
My engine is a 3.5 V8 with a flapper type efi system...
Today I went off roading and there I saw a lovely steep hill, done it many times before, nearly got to the top and you guessed it, The v8 ran out of puff...
So the engine stalls and off I go backwards, brakes didn't hold slipped down the hill, didn't have enough time to put it in reverse, so to slow up my descent I let the clutch up engine goes into reverse and I end up at the bottom in one piece...
Try to start the engine, fire's up for a second then dies fire's up again then dies, etc etc...
So up comes the bonnet & after a fudge around, I disconnect the air meter & try & start, then as if by magic it fires and runs, but very rich, but it runs & gets me home with a trail of black smoke behind & the fuel gauge going down at a rapid rate of knots ...
I try another air flow meter same thing, fires up stops, fires up stops, disconnect, runs but rich, next thing to try a spare ECU no difference...
So its a bit of head messier where do I go from here...?
Any ideas on the problem would be appreciated...
Thanks...
