P1800 ES 1800 1973

greetings gents,

so from the garage....

the readings from the MPS are 95 & 367 and infinity to the case - i am guessing this is range and not causing no start as suggested by c1800.

The coolant temp sensor reads 1950 not in specs range - not too much of issue starting in warm weather?

i tested the circuit to cold start valve, that appears to be working, but i cannot test the valve itself as i cannot get it removed ( i have bought a new one a couple years ago and it hasnt been fitted as screws are stripped out) i t was working with current old CSV when i bought it.

i have ordered a new condensor as i think the spark at plugs look weak, i have 2 sets of plugs one set in the head and the other set 'loose' to test spark for each cylinder. i changed out with spare old coil and there doesnt look like much difference, i did not take notice of spark before, it just appears weak to me - but i am comparing it to 740, 940.

i am have ordered new plug wires too.....everything has to be ordered and wait....sigh

question - i still have issue with fuel pressure falling away - ar un to store and back and its fallen 5 lbs..... i think this is an issue causing gas to gather in the oil. i have never seen before as being normal, on my Q45 this issue meant pulling plenum and new injectors. Although i just spent $400+ on these injectors i m not 100% sold on them, the seals they cam with were crap and did not seal properly, i ended up reusing old - thats a pet pieve of mine,

thanks in advance for help & advice, had enough for today another day bending over this thing,,,,,
