Have been chasing an update from Unigroup from about Thursday last week but was not to worried as I have nothing planned with the car this order last week but justed wanted to know if the issue was fixed.
Thought I would drop around on Saturday about 11am to see how things were going and rocked up only to find the roller door down and no one home. Called and left a message that I had dropped by and got a text back on Saturday night that he will be back on Monday.
Working away on Monday and about lunch time I was thinking I should call Unigroup when to my surprise the phone rang with Unigroup on the other end. (Pretty freaky stuff).
Unigroup were very apologetic saying that they had been quiet busy last week and even Thursday night had slept at the workshop after trying to get the RX7 sorted for the race day on Friday. It must have been satisfying as the RX6 won it’s class and came third outright so seems like it was worth it. I was not to worried as they had fitted me in at short notice but I just wanted to find this darn issue with the miss fire.
He had found a couple of issues
First was putting the injector duty back into the linear range which is what we had been talking about and he had re-tunned the car after bumping up the fuel pressure.
Second issue was a small leak from the T piece near the throttle body which needs to be replaced, will sort this out soon.
Third was the EGR valve has stuck open and was leaking, they suggested that I remove the piping to the manifold but must have not looked to hard as it was already removed to which they were surprised. I might remove the intake side as well over the coming days as it really doesn’t do anything anymore and can be a cause for leaking.
Dropped round on Monday after ducking away from work for “lunch” and we went for a drive, car felt strong and didn’t seem to miss fire. We had the laptop hooked up and got the car up to temp before trying to make it knock again and it didn't.
There was some hesitation a little so i am not 100% that everything is ok and i want to go for another drive but at least i have the car back now.
