VR running rough when warmed up

[PHMaximus]

Just thinking.... I wouldn't mind checking out the fuel pressure and regulator... I cant smell any petrol coming from the regs diaphragm but it would be nice to see if its working.... but the test kits are really really expensive. I was wondering... has anyone made a kit from ebay parts? or even a permanent one?

So U cleaned the dfi module contacts and she came good, but then failed shortly after. I'd be replacing both dfi module and coils.

I suspect the DFI but due to the price of a 1/2 decent one, I kinda wanna confirm that's the problem.

If everything checks out, i might just have to replace it and cross my fingers....

ive seen one of the wreckers had DFI and coils for $60...... its tempting....

only 80 bucks for a dfi, coils are a bit exi but there are better ones that those on eBay. Ebay doesn't sell the good ones

ive ordered one of these.... its money I dont really have so fingers crossed it fixes the problem

If you've only replaced those parts you're doing well.

 

[PHMaximus]

well, that was a waste of $80, a new DIF has done nothing to solve the issue...

 

[losh1971]

Be a good part to have on hand as they are a common part to fail. I plan on getting one to keep in the glove box.

Im spewing..... I dont have money to waste. and $80 is not pocket change.

but its a good wake up call for me, diagnose it properly
