Hello mate, yeah new fuel filter fitted. Initial problem was that injectors were just injecting constantly which is why I changed the metering head. At the same time I pulled the lift pump out and found it caked in crud. Cleaned it all and put it back, coincidence, I hope this is the fault so will ...

Well, not done anything on the Rocco for the last 10 months. Felt certain that I could get it running so forged ahead with changing the oil as it was contaminated with fuel. New plugs, amp, decent metering head, injectors cleaned ultrasonic ally, new seals, new fuel filter, cleaned out the fuel tank ...

Hi all,

So finally getting bits sorted on the 'Rocc' but the metering vane appears to be at fault / sticking or corroded fuel distributor. I have tried to strip but the screws holding the head onto the metering vane unit are seized solid even after days of soaking in WD40 and an impact driver on ...

Hi all. Just thinking about my non starting 1984 GTX and after having checked the fuel tank and injectors (now cleaned and not leaking) i was wondering what would cause the injectors to be injecting all the time regardless of the metering vane position. Would it be a sticking plunger or a faulty WUR ...

well finaly managed to check the car today. Put a switch bridge in the pump relay socket and checked the injectors. They are injecting constantly wether the metering vane is fully open or full closed. There is no air filter in the airbox but more importantly no fuel either. I have pulled out the ...

Wow, lots of info .

I am sure that the valve timing is spot on and i have now taken the injectors out. I understand what you mean about "open circuit" i was just saying that initially the fuel pump was just buzzing even without turning over. I aim to check the injectors tomorrow based on the info ...

I used to be the manager of a Marangoni tyre centre and have to say that they grip very well in the wet and reasonable in the dry but wear very quickly. I found that the lifetime warranty for punctures was a bit of a gimmick really as the customer had to pay for the portion of tread that they had ...

Excellent, cheers mate and i will look forward to checking it all out over rest days.

Update coming soon!!!

Sounds like a plan. I now have the injectors out and the seals are very brittle. Will replace them once I know that the injectors are ok and car running. Is it the 2 big terminals to bridge to run the pump continuously? Sorry for all the questions just want to check the terminology used on the forum ...

I take it when you describe pulling the cover off of the metering vane you mean the air pipe off of the air flow sensor?

I will order some plugleads, is it worth changing the fuel pump relay at the same time?

All,

Thankyou for the replies i will be trying this over the next day or so and will update accordingly. I presume if injectors are faulty then recon units are not available? M friends at GSF will be bending me over again no doubt, unless someone knows where a good set of injectors can be had for ...

Well day 2 of trying to start my 1984 GTX. To update i have changed distributor cap and rotor arm, ignition amplifier, plugs, fuel filter and put in decent fuel. Seems to have a spark but wont fire.
I did notice lots of petrol in the oil when i changed that and the filter, engine did turn over very ...

Hi guys, well had a good chance over the last few days to checkover and a couple of things have cropped up. Dropped the oil out of the car and it was full of petrol, used Mann filter with a valve in as a replacement and good quality oil before i tried to start her up (non runner for 12mths) Fresh ...

Hi all, I have recently bought a MK2 rocco GTX in mars red, It was actually listed on here a couple of years ago by 'smithgtx'.
I live in warwickshire and hope to restore the car to former glories. I bought without viewing from ebay but seem to have got quite a solid vehicle with a fair bit of ...
