Nice work mate!

Thanks for putting in the time and effort. I'm sure everyone here appreciates it, as do I.

You can be guaranteed that when someone asks a question now, the first person to reply with this link will be the most helpful. :D

Perhaps now twr7cx can reply with "look at this link" instead of "why don't you do a search"... :lol:

Just had a thought about the timing bit. I was in a workshop getting my car noise tested and was reading about e-series timing and this says u have to wait 2 mins instead of the under 1 min thing on an el b4 checking/setting timing

My Max Ellery's repair manual for EA/EB/ED's says ". . . start engine, the engine idle speed will increase to about 1500rpm, this indicates the self test mode is in operation and the base timing can now be checked using timing light."

I have my doubts that the "self test" mode does anything other than raise the revs to ensure the engine does not stall and then shut off the ecu timing adjustments so you can use the timing light.

If so, you know you are adjusting the timing at an okay time if the timing is not moving around.

This is kind of speculative, i don't really know, and i'm sure there is a way to find out for sure.

Location: Sale
VIC, Australia

I got a question for you guys... I got a 2004 BA Falcon Futura MK II ...
My problem is I've hardly got any down low power off a stop...Most falcons I have driven have no problem burning rubber off a stop.. even all the ED.. EF.. EL EA's and also the other BA's I have driven..
My car hardly pulls a wheel spin even when cornering... Is there something wrong with it?
Its only done 155,000 km.
If there is not a problem, is there anything I can do to get more power off the stop?
Thanks for Your help :)

I bought a 97 EL FAIRMONT that has been hit in the back...not 2 hard...it started fine at first when i got it but after less than 30 seconds of idling it starts sputtering and f@rt like its running on 4 cylinders then shuts off...when i tried to start it again its hard to start and splutters heaps...if you leave it for a day or so it starts fine but then after a few seconds goes back to spluttering...maybe its a broken lead etc not sure...any advide would be great....just want to get it running right to take it for a run around the block to make sure the running gear is ok.....I want to use the motor for an EA but want to make sure its ok first........Any ideas.......Thx
