    Angry MOTOR still stuffed

    hi there yes the afm did get adjusted i would have taken it back to the person who fixed it but he has gone back to s.a every plug is sparking and sparking good lots of volts comeing off the leads some days it runs fine the other days it runs like it wants to blow up ? i am going to put my mates airflow meater on there to c if it is that but i think it could be something else
    how could i try to find the probs what could be causeing the plugs to fowl up in less than 30 min and miss like its running on 3 cylnders i can barly get over 70km cause it surges like i have never seen before thanks for the tips

    i have a new motor lined up for it but i want this one running better so i can paddybash this motor untill it gives way unless i sell it first

    if anyone wants to bye this motor make an offer

    carb clean/. look down the carb and see if its all grotty. if so srpey carb clean or something down it. then get it adjusted as it sounds like a dodgey.

    Have you tried pulling codes from the computer, it may be a sensor going faulty and confusing the ECU.
