SOLVED: Tractor BigZ

Post by Mister_Swartz »

Hey guys.

So, BigZ is running.

Over the weekend I had to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets. They were all blowing and burning through. So as you can imagine it sounded like a tractor lol. After replacing the gaskets, I thought it would change. It didn't.

The bakkie idles and accelerates almost like it's got an intermittent miss. And under hard acceleration, she backfires a helse lot.

P.S. - changed the spark plugs as well.

Check for leaks maybe between turbo and mani check for vac and boost leaks

Checked all of those.
No leaks...

Could it be the tune?
Maybe timing?

Found the problem.

2 injector plugs weren't on properly.
So she was missing on them.
