Hi mate, a mate of mine has a brand new Holley 70mm t/b ,p/n 112-500, that he no longer needs. He paid about $250.00-odd for it a while back. He would be open to sensible offers. If you are interested, pm me your details and I'll get him to give you a call.

Then the harmonic balancer s**t itself.
Seems like it may have copped a few too many rev lately.

All good. I did get the one off Brett then being a d**k changed my mind on the one I wanted , so Brett was good enough to take it back.
Then mine shat itself..............oh well s**t happens. I will learn one day. Now has a new one on it and the battery decided to stop playing the game. So its now on charge and hopefully comes good.

Its a deadset piece of s**t.
The GT40P heads and Edelbrock Manifold seem so far to be the biggest stuff up and waste of money I have ever spent on a car. It has taken it from a car that could be jumped in anytime and driven anywhere to a car that is f**k hard to start , is a complete pig until 2500RPM and once it does come on song doesnt do that much or go a hell of a lot harder then before. Im over it. Either someone needs to throw me a solution that works quickly or a reasonable offer for it. Just dont care anymore.

so i assume all it needs is the larger throttle body, then maybe a J3 chip and someone to tune it?
what about seeing Joe At Crescent |

It just needs getting rid of.
I am trying something at the moment that I hope may have a bit of an answer. It starts fine once it is warm but wont when its cold and has been sitting around. It sounds like it is flooded on cranking and as it tries to fire up. Maybe just maybe it is the injectors leaking as it sits? So I disconnected the fuel pump as it was running and let it idle out till it stopped. Once the car is cooled out I will reconnect the fuel pump and see if it starts easily. If it does (hopefully) it should be an injector problem. Can you please measure the internal diameter of that throttle body you have Ross? If it is a 75mm one it will probably not work onmy manifold as mine only has a 70mm inlet.

What injectors and MAF electronics are you using Matt? If you have the 24lbers and an AU MAF without at the very least a tune, you will run into problems whether you have the big throttle body or not.
When I did mine, I kept my 19lbers and mini MAF on the motor on purpose, as I wasn't going to get the thing tuned until after everything was done. The car still hauls(love the midrange!!) and starts first go with great street manners and a nice lumpity lump at the lights. Persevere a bit more. Assuming that the MAF and injectors have been changed, you cannot expect any different from what you are getting now without a tune. The MAF is crucial to the EECV, get it wrong and everything goes to poo. Timing, fuel rates, load is guessed rather than measured etc. Jaysen is pretty handy with the J3 toys too, if he hasn't already told you. Have a chat with him. |

Matt,
Hook up the scanner and see if there are any fault codes, Just a thought. Also the more i think about it the more i can see it being a leaking injector. Keep up the test and let me know how you go. Brett

It is running the standard baby MAF at the moment and 19LBers Mark.
I have the AU MAF and stuff here for it and have actually had it on the car and it went ok , then the balancer pulled the pin.  At the moment but it has all been put back to E series spec. I am hoping but that the problem has been found at least as far as the hard starting from cold is concerned. As I posted earlier I disconnected the fuel pump and let the car idle until the fuel rail was empty. I left it for a few hours , went out , connected the pump and started the car. Normally the car would not start without a lot of effort and a pretty much flat battery. This time the rail filled up and the car started within 3 cranks!  So I disconnected the pump again , let it die and will leave it sit there tomorrow and start it up when I get home from work. At the moment it definately would not start. So if it starts tomorrow fine I will be able to confirm it as the dreaded leaking injectors. Will be happy to know its the problem if it is , but also p****d off as I just spent $160 having them serviced! I know a couple were leaking before but were now supposed to be all good , but it is not unheard of for Ford injectors to begin leaking after being cleaned. Will wait and see what happens!

Hey Matt, The mav is a bit hard to start when cold. I'm gonna put a check valve on the pump.May or may not help in your case. Dont think the injectors would be leaking, sounds crazy.....but that's cars for ya...... Cheers Daz
