The old unit blew up I am told and a TVR Power supplied 4.3 fitted at owners request in 1998. Then another firm has had a tinker, re-mapped the ecu(?) adjustable fuel pressure reg, jag air flow thingy and other bits. It is quite rough on idle and you have to keep an eye on it so you don't stall, but not as bad when warm. Right boot down all that changes for the better.

Picking brains again. Its got ported heads (?) Jag V12 air flow meter and a rechiped ECU (thanks to a freindly dealership that told me, do I mention them?) Some documentation claims 0-60 4.7 and 293 bhp.

chaps When you say your idle is lumpy, how lumpy exactly ? I have a Chim 4.0HC which I understand came with a wilder cam, but it sounds more like a misfire on idle until about 3000rpm then it gets better ? does this seem wright ? Also flat as anything below 3000rpm !!
Not too bad just listen out for when it might cut out until warm, then nearly always ok. Also a bit flat below 3000 Edited by jmorgan on Friday 27th April 22:15
