hello people hope some1 can help me after about 2000miles of driving my rebuilt c16se engine i have decided to start looking into y it is not as quik as i tink it should be.

i started off with a compression test on the 4 cylinders to make sure it was all sealed propely.

cylinder 1 14psi
cylinder 2 13.5
cylinder 3 12.5
cylinder 4 12.5

that all seemed good to me, but i think i found my major problem in the processes the plugs where white on the tip, and by white i mean very white, from experiance and asking a couple of people i berlieve it is running very lean. is there any way i can increase the fuel the car is getting with out spending loadz on a remap.

thanks for looking and hope you can help some1

what pump are you running? in tank or external?

blocked or kinked fuel lines

blocked fuel filter

maybe fit a fuel presure reg i did to mine and it cured my problems

im running a external fuel pump completly standard though i think.

Have renuied the fuel fiter very recently.

Think the lines are ok but is defornatly one to cheack tommorow i think!

i was thinking maybe the lines of a adjustable fuel regulator but wasent sure how good they really are. may also have to look into that one i think.

:thumb: Thanks

Check the pressure. Borrow/fit an inline gauge.
