VW Golf 1.6 AKL 1998 - Feels like a lean misfire, hesitation - Fixed #

Posted by James Peck on July 5, 2009, 10:36 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 1998
Engine Code or Type *: AKL 1.6

ANY IDEAS THIS GOLF HAS A RUNNING FAULT ON ACCELERATION- NO FAULT CODES, ALL LIVE DATA LOOKS RIGHT-SCOPED AIR MASS,THROTTLE,MANIFOLD FLAPS,EVAP,LAMBDA,FUEL PRESSURES & FLOW GOOD
ITS HAD NEW PLUGS & LEADS,INJECTOR CHECKED
THE FAULT FEELS LIKE A LEAN MISSFIRE-JURKING WHEN ACC UP THE ROAD
IT REVS UP FINE IN THE WORK SHOP-BUT ITS LEAN ON EMMISONS TESTER AND LAMBDA GOES TO .1V INJECTER DURATION GOES UP TO 12MS
WHAT HAVE I MISSED OR OVER LOOKED

Hi James,

Look at rubber intake trunking for splits. 4 gas readings might help.

HI CAM TIMING SPOT ON AND SO IS THE MANIFOLD FOR LEAKS .AS I WENT FOR A ROAD TEST TODAY THE GEAR BOX LOCKED UP TWICE AS I TRIED TO PULL AWAY-ON CHECKING THE OIL ITS FULL OF ALLI CASING FLAKES(VERY LITTLE G/BOX NOISE ON ROAD TEST)NOW IM THINKING IS IT THE BOX CAUSING THE JERKING -SINCE CLAMPING THE FUEL RETURN DID NOT CHANGE THE DRIVING BUT IT DID MAKE IT RICH
