boost lag and fuel economy question

[hunker7]

Not surprising weather is complete pile of ****. I did pull the plugs out;



I unplugged N75 and didn't see any difference either. First one is flooring it in 6th;





Fuel consumption was 23mpg average speed was about 50mph

Definately running on all 5, I drove from London to Leeds in February on 4

I will have a look tomorrow for timing mark through the little window.

When you say crank do you mean the front pulley?



Its a 0 as Newsh picture. Are you looking in the correct hole?

Is the cam timing in the head correct? Two O on the inside of the cam gears should be level with the top of the head and point at each other.

MPG and performance sound way off, its no economy engine but should get 30 on cruise, drive ability about town is one of its perks.

Timing or a misfire, maybe running on 4.

I will take them out tomorrow and have a look at them. But it seemed like a misfire so might need to get a new set, NGK this time. No more Bosch.

Then you might have to put the sparkplugs in the frame as the suspects.

Got coils converted. I have Bosch plugs; could they be playing up?

Okay. Are those coil packs new new new or did you get them at a good price off eBay?

Improved POS diagnostics and Fix Info

Driving to Leeds and car occasionally shakes as if it's a misfire, but less intense. Sometimes it vibrates slightly and then runs as normal again. Fuel economy is around 25mpg. Any ideas what it could be?

Quick guess would be one of the POSs has a flaky channel, if you are still running the OE ignition system.

Oil pressure/temp is good, engine temp is around 100 it that's because of ****** thermostat I think.

Marks on cam sprocket and crank was lined up perfectly.

When you say crank do you mean the front pulley?

I can't see it there, nothing ever remotely similar to a line. I've turned the engine over several times :/
