Engine Cutting Out Thu, 07 August 2003 23:39 Go to previous message
Maybe you guys have some ideas, because I am completley stumped.

AE92 4AGE converted to Solex Twin Carbs x 2 (Total of 4 carbs)
HKS 272 degree cams and sprokets
40 degrees advance

Ok, that's the basic engine specs

Running optimax plus octane boost.

For the first two weeks I had the car, reved to 9 no worries.
Then it started to cut out on cylinder number 2. The spark plug turns black after about 4 k's. I figuered it was probably a lead, or a bad plug or the coil, distributer. Ie something electrical. All the things that provide spark have been tested and verified as working.

So I thought maybe I'd melted a piston. Did I compression test. First 3 cylinders are 1100 and number 4 is 1200. So no issues' there.

I had the carbs tuned, no difference, still cutting out.
Reduced the timing slowly back to standard, trying ever 5 degrees. Still not fixed.

This problem only occurs after about 5 minutes of driving. Ie the engine is fine when it's cold.

So I've ruled out electrics, melted piston and carbs being out of tune.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any imput.
