Mechanical fuel pump, getting full throtle.
I'm having a look at it Sat. arvo with him, we'll see what we can find.

When it plays up there is no pulling power, if it was a truck I'd sweer the turbo had died.
Start at snorkel head and work our way to the exhaust tip, must be in the middle some where

Cheers.

you have noted on here things that you have changed and adapted..i.e the gear box the lift pump etc etc...as this is a public forum if they found this you may not have a leg to stand on as they are suggesting that you have tinkered with car since taking the engine away...and although not a lot you have.

and the is writen proof that you have....

i still think they should be made accountable if the engine has not been right since you took it especially with the amount of dollars spent...

but you have made it more difficult as you didn't persist with them and took somethings upon your self...

would it be worth taking to another mechanic and having a report down and presenting them with it?
bit like what scallops suggested we do with the puma one time

.......

Not sure if you've seen what's going on with my gearbox but I took it to consumer affairs and suddenly attitudes changed that I think is your best option and if they can't sort it they will send it to consumer tribunal

Whats happening is some days i loose power and some/same day's i gain it again. had a engine rebuild and about a month after that went out with some of the guys and when coming home i noticed that i didnt have the power/pick up i used to. i'll turn her on and let her idle for about 5 to 10 sec's then notice the idle lifts up abit by its self and thats when she runs fine. i sometimes can hear like a buzzing noise coming from either the fuel lift pump or the injector pump. i have changed the fuel lift pump and all filters including the sediment in the rear which i cleaded out as it was not that dirty.

tried adjusting the idle and that does nothing. it just seems like she is underload when pressing the accelerator pedal. i can tell when she runs fine cause the accelerator pedal is nice and soft and not hard. so its really got me going as you can see via other posts. heres hoping yopu can come up with something.

cheers simon

This is almost sounding like the injector pump has a cough now and again if and when you find the cause and if its the inject pump let me know as i have a spare inject pump that id be willing to let you try

Have you checked the plastic tube from the turbo to the side of the fuel injector pump. If this is split and leaking air you will not meter the fuel correctly when on turbo boost. (Read this on another thread here a few minutes ago and just checked the plumbing location on mine).

Might be on the money

Checked the basics today, tested all the plastic tubes also.
Whilst idleing you could hear the motor pick up around 150rpm and it sounded smother.
Checked the diapram under the 4 bolts and all seamed fine.
Electric shut off working fine too.

I'll look at the rave this week to see what inside the pumps, any outher links guys?

Cheers.

Is something like this what you're after:
