Happy Christmas all
Looks like someone got too excited and 'exploded' too much high gloss J12 all over the room. Similar to putting a grenade in a tin of white paint, but s lot more satisfying. ..
It will read 54 intil the coolant temperature reaches 80c. The lambda switch (temp switch) ilocated on tje V casting under the inlet manifold is ON until the temperature is above 80c, then the switch...
Does the frequency valve still buzz with the sensor plugged in and the engine warm? (Temp gauge between the 2 white lines)
Yes
Done any of the above yet?
Disconnecting the electrical connection from the oxygen sensor defaults the fuel computer to operating the frequency (bleed off) valve to 50% duty cycle ie it buzzes....
Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical connection first and see if it buzzes. If it does when the engine is cold but stops when the engine is warm, then the duty cycle may have gone full swing such...
The ecu uses pulse width modulation on both the open and close outer pins to effectively operate it to fine position control. This is done by transistors the rapidly switch the negative side(s) of...
I just used the search on https://www.deloreango.com
The deloreango specific part number is:

Yes, removing a shim on the rear right should bring the toe angle in. You may find that you might have to remove 2 shims for that figure.
I'm surprised they didn't do this at the time, unless the...
If it helps Michael, the Lotus cars of the same era used the shim method of setting the rear toe and seeing to the imaginary centreline of the car.
If a local has a computerised geometry...

Look in the relay area and see if "fan relay No.4" operates. You can just put your finger on it and feel it click when you turn the rotary dial to number 4.
If it doesn't click, check the relay...
You'll need to do a fuel pressure test.
This will indicate if when you turn the engine off, what the test pressure is.
If the fuel pressure is lost quick then you've got a problem with the...
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when dealing with refrigerant. Full safety eye goggles that seal around the face is a must at the very least. Refrigerant coming out under pressure can...
How about you make him a "voucher" for a free pass for a whole weekend where he can do what he wants, see his friends with his D without question and without interrupting him, questioning him, or...
Would you be prepared to sell just the fuel/ lambda connector pigtail ?
I would love to come over to visit, when I get some time/ funds. I'm definitely sold on Beer and BBQ ;)

Good luck
What reading do you get on the dwell on a warm engine now?
Possibly. Try the following test:
.....on a hot engine, disconnect the wot and check to see if you get continuity between pin 7 and pin 5. This will determine if the lambda switch is open or...
If the lambda switch is closed, the ecu will always default the frequency valve to dwell of 54, regardless of what the O2 sensor signal is, so replacing the ecu with another one is very likely to...

You could go back to basics, take your air filter out and see how dirty it is, and consider replacing it if it is dirty. New engine oil, check the spark plug gaps etc.
Checking the switching of...
