Sounds like fuel problem to me. Did you fit the pump to where it should go?

General Baxter

Adam
05-04-10, 08:54 PM

When you were on the phone earlier i was going fire the nova up to let you listen to the sound a healthy XE makes :p lol lol lol

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:05 PM

djbrowney
05-04-10, 09:07 PM

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:08 PM
no worries now go kick the **** out of it lol

well i will do when its firing on all 4 lol

Paul
05-04-10, 09:08 PM
hold it on the limiter for while, that should quieten it down/make it idle/stop it missing.

XEs love the limiter!

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:09 PM
theres no tap now, just i dont think its firing on number 1 thats all

you know the noise of a cold carb car make if you floor it, durrr duuur duuur duuru duuur, its like that

kinda like lee's van with a hole in the engine lol

Benn
05-04-10, 09:11 PM
Clean oil in it? Take it out and get it funking hot, then drop the oil and put fresh in, Normally works (what i've done in the past)

If not give the tappets a good clean out.

Adam
05-04-10, 09:12 PM
Are you sure youve bent no valves?

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:14 PM
well number 1 plug is just black and dripping with petrol lol

with the plugs out, turns over lovely, when i said they were lower on the phone, ir tuned out the bucket has no oil in and locked up, so it was sitting 4mm lower then the others

the lowered buckets were on 3 and 4

Adam
05-04-10, 09:14 PM
I think thats a sign of something

Paul
05-04-10, 09:16 PM
sounds like the valves wedged open

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:17 PM
how i test with out taking the head off

Adam
05-04-10, 09:18 PM
Compression test

Angus Closier
05-04-10, 09:18 PM
could be a bent valve? Are you sure it was timed up right? do a compression test if its loosing some then pull dipstick out and see if there is any pressure in sump.....that would indicate rings etc then try the the rocker cover see if there is any pressure in there that could be valves....

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:23 PM

Angus Closier
05-04-10, 09:37 PM
Sounds like its missing in the vid as you say......as said get the compression checker on it mate!

Adam
05-04-10, 09:38 PM

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:40 PM

Angus Closier
05-04-10, 09:40 PM
Check its not something stupid like a ht lead/dizzy cap first

Might be that but from the vid it sounds rougher than just missing due to no spark fuel...

General Baxter
05-04-10, 09:41 PM
Might be that but from the vid it sounds rougher than just missing due to no spark fuel...

Adam
13-04-10, 03:52 PM
Front needs come down, or back up to level it out.

Does look tidy though.

Why were police straight after you? Ive never been pulled in my nova lol

And you are scared to take it out? WTF. Think how it is when you are hooning down a track straight at 130mph towards a corner in a car designed to handle 45brake lol lol

Adam
13-04-10, 03:59 PM
Might as well sell it now then tbh if you are never going have confidence in it.
A XE nova is not something you want to lack confidence in when doing whatever speed into a corner or whatever

General Baxter
13-04-10, 04:01 PM
i was the same in the 1.4 and 1.6 lol
the speed dont bother me, its the bolt comming undone on the caliper as i fly into a corner lol

remember i learned to drive in a redtop T45 nova lol

comptoncj
13-04-10, 04:32 PM
lol there was a lad round here who had a xe corsa and he drove it around with only 1 bolt in the caliper, it flew up and sent sparks everywhere lol. Its always the first hundred miles that I worry then i tend to think if nothings happend its ok lol

becasue im running 5mm spacers on the back, it feels well wired to throw around the corners lol

Benn
19-04-10, 08:23 PM
lol should of done it while out..

General Baxter
19-04-10, 08:24 PM
**** that, its an xe it will always leak

as long as the bolts don't fall off the engine whilst driving like riggys did on the RR lol


i have noticed something to, after a little blast the ICV hose is all vac'd in still idles fine tho lol

Benn
19-04-10, 08:24 PM
lol not always true, but 99.8% true.

Adam
19-04-10, 08:32 PM
Mine dont leak :p

Benn
19-04-10, 08:36 PM
My old xe sits and mocks my let for leaking..

Adam
19-04-10, 08:39 PM
On all my sump bolts ive added an extra nyloc nut on the thread too, so the bolt head is locked against the sump surface if you get me.
Thats what seemed to stop it leaking

auzzy-b
19-04-10, 08:49 PM
just get a steel sump like im guna! if it leaks just keep tightening it up until it stops lol

General Baxter
19-04-10, 08:49 PM
just saves you undoing the sump bolt, and no need to change the oil, just keep topping it up lol

General Baxter
