Philbert update "new temp sensor,exhaust in"

acn9479 · 2008-08-14T06:18:49+00:00

Hi all Philbert has had little work done to it since adam helped me get it started, but when it starts it runs for about 6 secs than stops. also it seems like it is giving me a code for the throttle position sensor (3 slow and 1 quick) but the TPS seems to be giving of the right readings. Been given the time line of 3 weeks to have it running properly for a photo shot so any help would be great Thanks Andy

managed to find some pictures so here they are. The engine mount is now painted and the engine bay has had some conduit put through it to tidy up the wiring. That header tank that i made up holds about 6 ltrs buy itself!! so dropping the coolant is a big job.

If it is idling high then check for any air leaks.

Also is it idling high after it has been running for a while ? They will idle up when cold.

Also check the ICV to make sure it is clean and functioning properly

Download teh svce manual and it will walk you through it along with voltage and resistance readings. There are links to it in Wes's posts in theENg Conversion Section

Got new temp sensor cause the other one the readings (ohms) were right out, but still cant get the thermo fan to kick in and also get fault codes for the the IACV and purge solenoid?? its runs and drives and feels alright but I'm not sure about the codes. A new IACV is $860 :0
If anyone can help that would be good, i might go and take some photos of the exhaust that i did up yesterday

when i did the fitting i had the vehicle jacked up for that reason, it has about 35mm clearance when at full extension, i think that the flowers really set it off

well it looks to me like to much bouncing and "love" might cause the current sump to hit the ground. 😂

Could you post some pics of your radiator installation, hose routing, etc. Yours looks pretty much like I want to do on my '71.
