Good call, yeh, that's easier :) I had thought about a drain back problem(what I assume you are referring to as rest) but I discarded that thought based on cold starts being fine. If pressure bleed off was a problem it would be a problem cold or hot right or are you referring to something different?

It's possible, could explain why it's rich if it isn't reading properly.

Did you ever try disconnecting the o2 sensor and running it?

Long crank time when hot still seems like vapor lock, try doing something to cool the fuel rail/lines down(keep them from getting as hot) and see if the problem continues. One old trick is to use a bunch of those wooden clothes pins and attach all along the fuel line. They are cheap and it is an...

Extended crank when hot could be due to fuel vaporization in the fuel rail. Don't know how hot it is when you have this issue but I occasionally have the same problem after a good drive in the summer here. You still have the misfire problem too? I didn't hear it in the video.

Yeh, I got the same one. After coming to the same conclusion as you, everyone sold the same one, I cut mine with an exacto, works good.

Did you get it figured out?

Glad you're making progress. Sounds like you are at injector wiring or driver now since you've swapped injectors already. Good luck.

Both pistons look like they have oil on top of them. Try running the car to get rid of the oil, pull the plug and inspect, if there is no oil on top then manually set the number 4 cylinder to TDC and let it sit overnight(or several hours). Check it again in the morning, if there is oil on the...

Do you have a spark tester? What coil setup are your running? Have you done the igniter ground mod? Try spraying the wires with the car running with a mix of water/alcohol and look for arcing or see if the miss gets worse. Another thing would be to take a stethoscope and listen to the injectors...

Yeh, o2 can cause problems but typically not on one cylinder, a simple test for that would be to unplug it and see if the car still misfires. That may help determine whether it is actually "closed loop" related or time/temperature related.

I have had/seen many cars with leaking valve seals and no misfire. I doubt that an oil leak is causing the misfire unless it is just pouring it in and filling the cylinder. I didn't see enough smoke from the exhaust to prove that though. To be clear, I'm not saying the seals aren't a problem but...

JJ. if he doesn't have a leakdown tester and air compressor I doubt he's got a scope. However, if he can find one that will definitely show his trouble area. I would recommend doing an injector balance test unless the shop that cleaned them was able to properly bench test them. I am curious as...

Yeh I actually used a cheap bottle jack type manual bender. I think it worked pretty well.

I can get basic measurements but the locating dowels will be tricky. There is no way for me to give you the cut measurements for where the pipes meet the plate that you will have to just do by trial and error. The coping where the short pipes run into the long ones will also have to be fit by...

Yeh, I liked his overall design but I didnt want to use the big plate up front with holes cut out I wanted to use pipe for everything that I could.

1/8 inch wall, 1/4 inch plate. By unsettled you mean load it like cornering? If so then yes, it feels like the top is still on. I had a lot of shimmy and vibration without it. I do not have any data to back up my findings, I do not have that technology. All I have is a (semi)calibrated ass in...

Unfortunately I am not a vendor and do not have the shop space to do a production run. This will likely be the only one. There is a possibility that I will sell this one and make myself a new one but that certainly won't be any time soon. There will never be more than five and I doubt I will...

Thanks.I figure I've probably got about 20 hours in it including "r&d" and a couple design changes.

While I have seen a few people offering targa braces they can be hard to come by. If you want to spend a pretty good amount of money the "weezl wings" can be found. Some people also offer bars. I guess the bars probably work well but I wanted something with a little more style. I decided to fab...
