I brought home a 1981 fuel injected TR7 in December, with all the induction and injection stuff on boxes in the trunk that was mixed in with 2 sets of carb set-ups. What a mess. I got it running well last week, but it had a terrible miss. Pull the #3 plug wire and the motor didn't change a bit.
I found the miss fire, one of the wires of the #3 injector lead pulled out of the connector. Got it back in place, and it fired right up. Grabbed my 5 year old daughter and we drove around the neighborhood. Idles at 800, and is smooth as a Honda.
We hit the neighborhood roads. Now, you could follow the trail of coolant everywhere we went, then I found a pinhole leak in the cold start injector line.
So, we pushed on to a church member's house, talked for 10 minutes while it idled in their driveway. We got in to leave, it died flat and didn't start again - over heated.
Went in for some iced tea and chat, back out about 30 minutes later, started it up, got 100 feet before I called the flat bed to take it 1/2 a mile home. Off the flat bed, started right up and into the garage.
There's a clamp on the leaking fuel line until I get more tomorrow.
No I just need a list of what parts I need to stop the Niagara Falls of water pumps.
My daughter still has a smile on her face. She loved it. She's says she's so special because she got the first ride in it. Needless to say, she's rubbing it in mommy's face... I think I'm in trouble.
