Ecomodding and stuff: VAZ-2111 " the UnArmored Personnel Carrier

[Fingie]

That was some service done in the military greens. 6months in the Jaeger brigade, I became a APILAS operator for the reserve.

Passed roadway inspection on the 2nd try, failed smog test because I had 3 engine fault codes in the OBDII system.

According to EU roadway laws in Finland, If any fault codes come from the engine, it is seen as "affecting the emissions" and thus fails it. I know I should have unplugged the battery so the codes would've gone away The ignition box F**ks with me occasionally, missing a spark in cylinder 2 and 3 and thus flashes the engine light and gives the code.

New Igniter box is 50 us. dollars, but i'll probably order and have it in the trunk waiting.

I ain't changing the igniter box before this ******* runs on 3 cylinders or affects fuel economy :P

4 places the fuel pressure could be going
1 check valve on pump
2 injectors not sealing
3 fuel pressure regulator not holding over time
4 on the ground
Try a hevy doce(2 bottles) of injector cleaner might help
My father inlaw had this problem .he changed injectors and regulator to no avail.
Im shure option 4 isn't the cause but trace the fuel system for pin holes from road debris.

The problem got fixed by spraying CRC around in the connectors.

Blocked out the upper grille and inflated the tires to 45 PSI.

Planning a lower front dam next.

I was on a job interview today, and I filled up the car (2 clicks). I drove 20miles hwy with two overtakes. drove back and filled up (2 clicks).

Calced 47MPG, and I accelerate full throttle when joining .

The on-board MPG calc is faulty. Have to try some other app.

Also check the fuel pressure regulator ,and for minor leaks .my dad just had this problem on a ford 7.3 diesel. It was a faulty sensor on the fuel filter head . So he epoxied the plug hole.
Good work.

Do you have any pictures of this thing? Build threads are kinda sad without photos.

[Fingie]

Here it is. Only visible missing mod is Grille block

[Fingie]

how do you attach the consumtion thingy so it updates- or do I really need to make a new sig when I add the log?

[Fingie]

But I am content with the consumption, as I don't really have a light foot.. Yet.
