bluetop 4age cutting out

[79rolla]

ok my ae82 fxgt is screwing me around again

it runs ritch and misses wen idoling (has for a while)
but now it exceloerates rough and when i try drive (not under load) the motor completely cuts out for a few seconds then cuts back in kickin me back in seait for a few seconds befour cutting back out again and it continues to do it

rev counter does not drop, so probaly not coil.

it started relly badly after i filled it up, so changed filter and plugs

alot of vacume hoeses and wiers are not hooked up making me think engine managment?? but dont know what im doing...

[method]

get a new fuel filter and run some injector cleaner.

Could be a fueling problem?

Is it MAP or AFM? Is Map sensor hose connected? AFM will have a lot of problems with vacuum leaks. MAP sensored blue top will be ok-ish if there are some vacuum lines disconnected it will run higher RPM idle (as long as MAP sensor itself is connected in right place through right hose).
Do you have enough gas in the tank?
It might be fuel pump if, you sort out all the vacuum lines, and it will still have same problem.

problem is i dont know where the vacume hoses are suppost to go... new fule filter on it. full tank of gas, only started completely cutting out just after i filled it up.

maybe if you post some hi-res pics of your engine bay/ vacuum hoses, I could tell you what to connect where...
Or find someone else with a bluetop and copy theirs vacuum hose connections.

WTF? what a mess.
For starters, I can't see the MAP sensor bolted in the ususal place, on the strutbrace on the left... it looks like you have an earth wire attached to it instead.
Probably easier to burn the car and forget about it.

[79rolla]

yeah it is a mess... relly regreting buying it now...

if i could have helpful advice it would be great.. or somone want a FXGT??

[sergei]

post high res. pic. of your mess and I will see if I can sort it
BTW I don't see where is the MAP sensors as well...

[AE86less]

You should buy my engine for parts and make yours pretty again

[pc]

ok, from what I can see in the pic.

map sensor missing
cam wheel backing plate missing
cam belt cover missing
wiring needs checking then re-looming
loom that normally runs across the front of the car has been moved
cam covers are round the wrong way
PCV tube missing
heater control missing
radiator top feed is frankinstein
HT lead holder missing
airbox, filter, pipe all missing
battery missing (in boot? if so, probably needs mounts fixed)
radiator cap missing

Given all this (and that is all I can see in this lo-res photo) it is obviously going to be an expensive time consuming effort unless someone is willing to donate all the parts and some labour.
Sorry to say, but there is probably heaps more wrong with the car if the engine bay is anything to go by.

[Mr Revhead]

yeah....

prob HEAPS wrong with it....

but idle could be what appears to be an open pipe to the plenum.... i think i can see one there just towards the passenger side of the inlet....

[79rolla]

ok thats an oldish pic... battery is in, inlet wont go in... think map may be hanging down the back of motor. backing plate is on radiator cap on... loom across front is hanging behind radiator... been butcherd by some meatheaid

where can i host a hi res pic? thats photobuckit...

can take more resent one on better angle and somone hosts it for me??

[method]

Photobucket allow 1meg files.

Plenty res i think.

That image makes me cringe

[92mr2paddy]

im going to see that engine bay in my nightmare tonight!!!!
