First tme I have heard of 123 issues Cheers Tim, I re-fitted the 123 this morning with a new rotor arm and so far all is good. The car has got me to work anyway, I've just got to get home now. 🙄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did this on the fuel pumps at Oakhampton as well. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is that I've never had so much trouble with this car since I converted it to Lucas fuel injection, so I'm seriously considering going back to carbs at the moment. I cant be doing with unreliable cars. 🫤 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jos Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Worth checking the routing of the fuel lines to check that they are not getting too hot and causing vapourisation when you stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 A useful way of doing this is "TempTabs". Small sticky labels that permanently change colour according to the temperature of what they are stuck to. EG 0646 2532 | Testo Temperature Sensitive Label, +161°C to +204°C, 2 Levels | RS (rs-online.com) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
