'Thor' stalls sometimes
Posted: Wed May 20, 2020 3:58 pm
Afternoon All,
I have just got my Landie back on the road, running a Thor version of our favourite engine. I.e. the one with a bunch of bananas for an intake manifold.
I have had the ECU sorted by Mark Adams to run in 'standalone' mode, and I have to say that even before I get it rolling roaded, it pulls pretty well. 0-60 is going to be about 7 seconds which I think is perfectly acceptable.
It is connected via a Helix 9.5" clutch to an R380 transmission, LT230 transfer and Range Rover axles. All standard stuff.
Now, it usually idles perfectly, but sometimes, when approaching a junction for example, it 'stumbles', but catches itself. Sometimes, it just conks out.
This should be impossible with fuel injection!!
I have tried a different idle speed control valve, and a different MAF, to no noticeable effect.
There are no adjustments I can make.
I am trying to get hold of Mark but haven't succeeded yet...
Anybody got any ideas on what might cause this? Or what I can test?
Thanks,
Chris.
