Got everything back together on the car last weekend. Started with minimal problem and didn't catch on fire! Only leak was the oil supply of the turbo which required a little cleaning of the fitting and a little torque on the nut. Ran it up to operating temperature and bled the cooling system. Went home a happy man.
Buttoned everything up yesterday and went for a drive. Car starting sputtering and missing badly for about the first couple miles. I think it was running way too rich and fouling the plugs. Just when I started to head back, the engine cleared up and ran great the rest of my trip.
Drove it this morning to work and as per yesterday, it started off rough and got worse. Backfired once and I saw flames shoot out the exhaust. Obviously way too much fuel! This wasn't good... Pulled over on the side of the road to look at the motor, didn't see anything unusual. Was getting ready to call AAA for a tow but figured I'd try and start it just for grins. Fired right up and drove perfectly the 9-10 miles to my office.
My thoughts are there's something going on with the cold start circuit, perhaps the WUR.
Anyone have any suggestions about where to start?
Thanks
