So I'm going to just post here.
I installed a Giles pump I've had for many years and just never used. I timed it to 1.05 and adjusted the belt. It all looked beautiful. Started up and ran (not fantastic) after i bled the system. Then the linkage on the back side (next to the #1 injector) fell apart (not loctited) I finally re assembling that with the pump installed. Now it wont start without quarter throttle. When it does I'm getting blueish white smoke and won't make more then 2600rpm.
I'm going to pick up clear in and out lines this morning.
I'll also re time it just for piece of mind.
Any other ideas where to look? It honestly runs like my friends 87 gti with the plug wires mixed up.
Some IPs can be 180 out, but not likely one from Giles.
Air in the lines can cause that symptom. That is step one.
That's pretty much what I thought too. But I also didn't think the linkage would fall apart either.
