    Default Damn Cars (or Utes in this case)

    Just wondering if anyone can help me with a problem that I am having.
    I have a 1991 Triton 2WD Ute that currently is having major running problems. The idle is chronically out and sucks fuel like .... well use your imagination.
    I have been told that the mixture screw is hidden under a casting plug that you need to drill out to gain access, but I have no idea were it is.
    There is no manual for the tritons utes that I can find and I was wondering if anyone has a triton and might be able to help or just knows anything that might help.
    The rest of the ute is in good condition and considering that I picked it up for $2500 with a hydraulic tipping tray I would really like to get it running better as it is worth a lot more than I payed for it.

    Thanks
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    cant help with the mixture screw but also do a compression test on the engine as well, my 91 2wd rodeo is idling badly due to a stuffed exhaust valve.

    Also,
    Do a leakdown test
    Go to

    http://morini.com.au/phpBB2/viewforu...c35199f22e1a6c

    And do a search on "Leakdown" or "Leak-down"
    or
    you might try spraying some CRC, WD-40, Chemsearch or the like
    around the intake manafold.
    DO NOT USE ONE WHICH IS TO FLAMABLE
    If it has a leak it will be sucking,
    and when you spray where it sucks
    the motor will change its idling behaviour.

    If it is idleing rough one of the first things to check is if it is sucking air somewhere it shouldn't.

    Look at manifold gasket, PCV hose, Vacuum hose to brakes etc.

    EDIT: Ivan beat me
