I'm having a small prob on the 560 SEC. The car has a very fine "miss", just around the 1500 rev mark, where its the most noticable. Its hard to notice, but its definately there! Its been there since i purchased the car, hoped it would have gone by now!!
So far i've changed:
Fuel pump
Fuel pump relay
Fuel filter
Fuel distributor
Fuel injectors
Throttle body
Ignition Control Module (EZL)
Ignition Coil
Ignition leads
New spark plugs (changed twice)
Distributor Cap + complete distributor assembly
Rotor Arm
Crankshaft position sensor & lead
Idles speed control relay
ECU (swapped with another 560 which ran perfect)
OVP relay
4 pole temp sensor (controls the EZL and CIS KE)
Engine compression checked etc - no probs at all
All vacuum pipes pressure checked-ok
I've probably changed more but its still there!!!
The car is at GF, he's stumped as to what else it could be. The only other fault on the car is the ASR is faulty. George is currenctly looking into the ASR fault, thinks it may have something to do with the miss. Not convinced though, as the later M119 engines can have the ASR bypassed with no effect on the engine.
Is there something else i'm missing? Am getting really fed up at the mo with the car!!!
On a good note, it doesn't smoke blue anymore!! It was a top end prob which was rectified by GF very professionally. He even changed my oil pump FOC as a goodwill gesture!
Other parts changed on the car:
Full engine build (new tappets, springs, lifters etc)
New oil pump
New timing chain & tensioner
Rebuilt G/box
Rebuilt LSD diff
New radiator
New water pump
New viscous fan
New electric cooling fan
Not to mention all new suspension/rubbers/mounts/bodywork etc etc!!
