Thread: new info for erratic idle problem! 3.5efi

Hi Discowhite
Yes the idle does become very erratic when stopped at intersections etc. if the transducer is faulty, I originally forgot to mention this in my first post and tried to remedy the problem with another post but havn't been able to get any through.
Regards:- Patrick M.

the speed transducer and relocate the ing module.

it went to 6000 before missing, this is where the tdi seemed to out accelerate me, normally if i go flat throttle it will run to 6250/6500 ish [tach numbers stop at 6000] before it changes up.

do special lights and things go off when you hit 6???

The more I read about fuel injected V8's the less inclined I become to put one in my County. I think the 3.9 sitting in my garage will become a carbed engine when I fit it. The thought of being stuck on a beach or in the scrub with a fuel injection problem just doesn't appeal at all.
Granted that when everything is ok it is hard to go past injection, however at least with a carb set up it is a much simpler system that in most cases I can usually solve the problem.

6 grand is quick for a bendt 8. Though there are bendt engines that turn faster than that. New Holden v6 does 7.

Absolutely....the more basic the vehicle the more chance you have to keep it running. With Carby, if the fuel pump fails you can gravity feed it with a drum strapped into the roof rack and bit of fuel hose to reach. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I think you should just bite the bullet maggsie and go with the injection,,
the advantages of injection outweigh the problems,,,
