The telstar rules again

I have an AT Telstar, 89, 2.2L injected. (And have had 2 AS 2L and have just rebuilt my AT 2L, but haven’t had a chance to put it back together yet, lol)
My 2.2L has recently developed a bit of a flat spot around the 2000 - 3000 rpm mark. It’ll hit a spot, and then it'll kinda die, and when I keep revving it, it picks up again. Hope I explained that ok. I have replaced my leads, plugs, air filter, distributor cap, and the rotor, and still no improvement. I never ever use that crap 91 octane stuff, only 95 or 98 always from a reputable place, usually BP. I have also run an injector cleaner through it. It was supposed to be for 2 tanks, but I put it all in the one tank. It was a red bottle, ngk maybe? The timing is set at 6 exactly, like the specs say. (But both my other as Telstars I set them at about 14 or so and they ran awesome) anyway, I think the only thing left is the fuel filter, but this looks expensive. Is it worth replacing it, or is there something else to look at, like the O2 sensor?? Thanks heaps. |

try looking into the throttle positon sensor on the butterfly
and the throttle body solenoids sensor in the air box and the o2 sensor yep see if they are all reading the correct specs just take off the fuel filer and tap it see if the fuel is clean wash it out with metho or clean fuel dont forget to repressurise the fuel system if that is required

thanks for the tips
i didnt really want to check / replace the fuel filter, being injected. i saw the process in the maintanance manual, and it looked hard. i'm selling the car in a month or so, once i get the other one running (2L carby), so i was hoping to get away with something easy and cheap. but i guess tomorrow i'm pulling the fuel system apart :( |
