My car is now developing a reputation for itself in our family for being unreliable. Been fine for the last few years but recently....
Basically the car won't fire once it's warm.
The issue must be directly related to me fitting an airbox.
The engine is running on twin dellortos. They have been running with just open trumpets. Just fine.
For once, trying to be cautious, I thought I had better add an air filter.
I first fitted the base plate for the air box. The warm idle rose from 800rpm to approx 1100rpm, also it started to become very difficult to re start the car once it was warm (hence the bad rep, sat at a petrol station for example
)So, I adjusted the idle screw to bring it back down.
It still doesn't like starting warm.
I have fitted the whole air box now, with cold air feed into airbox. It is still pretty much impossible to re start once warm.
From what I can tell, it must be a fuelling problem.
Any ideas what to do? At the moment I feel like I have spent a lot of time and money on the filter and box to ultimately make the car worse. That's what being sensible gets you
