At Mannington the 200tdi conversion in my Series began to blow out quite a lot of black smoke, I’m assuming un-burnt diesel, and on driving it today it is mis-firing at anything other than idle. Any ideas on the fault would be appreciated.
Thanks

Remove rocker cover and check for a snapped inlet valve rocker/bent pushrod etc – no air is getting in to that one cylinder, hence the black smoke and misfire
.
Never snapped or bent a valve, bent plenty of push rods when cam belts have snapped! Something like that would make it lumpy at tick over too.
sounds like a timing issue to me. Check that your cambelt hasn’t jumped a tooth or two!
Other things to check,… fuel lines for air getting in, lift pump.
And check the flux capacitor, always check the flux capacitor….. 😀
Should it be flashing or pulsing? Mine’s pulsing but I can’t seem to get it to work!
The DeLorean is great but it hits a weird problem at 80mph!!!
Ahhh, that explains why its not working in bertie!
Thanks for your suggestions. Took it for a longish run at the weekend and it seemed to clear itself after about 10 miles. I’ll see how it goes this weekend before taking too much of it apart.
