Well, the increasingly bad running of the engine turned out to have a rather silly cause: my own inaccuracy. After having set the basic valve preload during assembly, I failed to tighten the locking nuts on the tappet adjuster screws of cylinders 3 & 4... Now the engine's running fine again. Tha...

So, this morning I took a closer look at the wiring of the Temp2 sensor. It wasn't even dodgy, it was completely loose. I fixed it with a brand new JPT-connector and the engine came to life pretty soon. But I was running irregularly and shaky, like it was on 3 cilinders. When I tried to run it at ±2...

Symptoms sound just like digifant when it increases fuelling until it floods, caused by a faulty loom, backfeeding through earth shielding on wire to lambda pro...

Thanks again. For the timing setting: it's spot on the mark on the pulley @ 10º before TDC. Of course I disconnected the vacuum and the single yellow connector and plugged together the two connectors from the DLS. And the ICV is buzzing. The Temp2 sensor is new, the wiring is a bit dodgy though. Tha...

Hi Maxstu, Thanks for the replies. Indeed: DigiJet. All ancillaries, including ECU, came from the previous engine and were working fine up until I started the swap 2 weeks ago. Fresh fuel was taken in right before the swap. Timing position, as mentioned, is on the required position. Temp2 sensor is ...

Hi all, Over the last 2 years I built myself a 'new' DJ engine; apart from the casing and some add-on parts, everything is new: crankshaft and camshaft, pistons, cylinders, tappets, bearings, etc. Last week I replaced the old DJ engine in my van with this new one, taking all the fuel supply from the...
