HI guys,

Drove the beast back from the workshop today, still running far too rich at idle but the tecnicians are at a loss to explain it.

There was a vacuum pipe connected to the fuel pressure regulator so it looks like its going to be a slog to get it fixed. There were a couple of leaks in the induction pipework which would have put a little less air over the MAF sensor but still not enough to explain the huge overfuelling problem.

Having said that driving the car home was enough to get me re enthused about solving the problem, boy does this Cobra fly when you floor it.......

If all else fails I will call in the Dinan connection but as the engine, gearbox etc were removed in one lump and nothing was changed apart from the air inlet truncking and changing the strangled exhaust headers for something that breathes better, I would like to get it running as standard before I start tweeking the software.

Cheers,

Tony
