Ok so the weekend has knocked me back a bit but I'm going to check out the above when I get a timing light.
I don't intend to do any driving really for a while so hopefully its sorted by then
I have changed the Map sensor for a Glanza one and it made no difference.
I've done a new compression test but this time I was able to warm up the engine first. My results of this DRY Test below:
(After cranking the engine over 6 times on each cylinder)
Cylinder 1 165 psi
Cylinder 2 165 psi
Cylinder 3 165 psi
Cylinder 4 165 psi
These were the results give or take one or two psi on each cylinder. I then pushed the readings further on each cylinder by cranking them 12 more times each and I got 170 psi across all 4 cylinders give or take one or two psi. So I feel much happier with my results now compared to my initial testing results and it shows how much the timing can throw you off. I didn't bother with a wet test this time as I didn't see the need considering my results were all pretty much equal.
Since I that and after running engine after the compression test and refitting everything I got trouble code 12 for RPM SIGNAL or TDC SIGNAL. I still have the code for map sensor too so going to check the wiring again. The engine runs but its smoky and when the accelerator is floored at around 4000rpm and above it seems to backfire and puts out a load of black smoke but then starts to clear itself from the smoke a little.
So the engine starts and warms up by itself but gradually decreases its RPM and dies. Throttle on keeps it running and same for restarting, its smoky and when I pulled my new plugs they were black from being covered in what looks like soot.
I didn't do anything with my actual distributor only removed and replaced the distributor cap so I'm thinking it must be something else although i will be checking out the ignition timing later. Is there anything else that may cause this issue?
