TB45E Knocking when starting ...and other bad performance
Posted: 18 May 2015 20:07
Hello all,
I have replaced my TB45E engine and it has two problems.
I have since switched to only high octone (95)
Problems 1 - when starting tye car in the morning, the engine revs high, and as there is initially low oil pressure, the big end knocks. for 1 second.
I believe it has something to do with fuel dripping from an injector. at night. also happens if vehicle not running for a couple hours.
Problem 2. Pinking, low power on long uphill, and sort of resonating engine sound when decelerating? no exhaust backpressure? or faulty advance / retard?
Problem 3..... where is the Knock sensor - I would like to check if it is 460megaohm. / check wiring.
comments will be most appreciated.
Thx
Faanie
