Problem with rough idle. Part 2... with minor repair

Rough idle has continue with worst way. Car jerking during idle and cruising. I suspect there is something wrong with spark plug firing system. Either spark plug cord, distributor or spark plug.
On my way back home, drop by to half cut shop to buy a set of spark plug cord. Also went to spare part shop to buy spark plug and fuel filter. Fuel filter was removed previously due to lean fuel inside combustion chamber. 
From Feroza HD engine workshop manual (can be download from HERE), NGK spark plug code is BKR6E11. 


What I have found from my engine if spark plug with differ code. It is BK5E, not BKR6E11.



Here is BKR6E-11 spark plug.

After replaced spark plug with cord, engine idle better than before. I also reset ecu to clear error code (it has error code 41, 42 and 43) for better performance and relearn. I will check ecu error code later to confirm if the is still error occur.

I also replace fuel filter as the old one already partial clogged. The filter is not 100% identical with original one, but as long it can be function as filter it is ok for me. Relay sitting beside fuel filter is for starter.

Then I also replace breather hose as old hose already cracked. First hose that is use is thick hose. It is multi purpose hose. Since the hose is too thick, it is hard to bend it like original hose. It look ugly, red color, thick and long hose.



So I replace with other hose, coil hose. I look better from my eye sight. Steel coil inside the hose will prevent the hose from kink at the bend section.

Problem with rough idle. Part 1...


On my new ride, it had a very bad idle. Even engine stalled 5 times per day. It's a very frustrating for me.
Then I started to seach for the culprit. First thing suspected is vacuum leaked.
After changed all the related vacuum hose, the idle still rough.
I bought a detomaso Throttle body although I know its not identical. But I still want try to mod to fit it. It's no luck. The TB can fit it nicely but idle still very bad due to different method of idle control. Then I decide to cleaned and put back original TB. Idle not very good after first start. Did a TPS swapped, and it seems idle bit ok. Drove it for 1 day and the problem came back. Now it really gave me headache.



I keep calm for a few days and start listing what is the possible culprit.
Here is the list.
1-vacuum leak
2-O2 sensor (replaced on 9 Jun 14 )
3-TPS adjustment
4-spark plug
5-spark plug cord
6-distributor adjustment
7-clogged fuel filter
8-weak fuel pump

So yesterday I made a decision to repair the cheapest solution first. What i did is
1-inspect spark plug. Whitish color. I guess a bit lean fuel.
2-removed fuel filter.
3-adjust TPS.
All those step did not cost any money.

After finish the steps above, started the engine and observed for idle. So far so good, idle are stable but a bit low rpm. Idle screw adjusted to compensate low rpm.
Today, drove it to work. Idle are steady and stable all the way. I hope the problem has been vanish.

I think TPS adjustment has solved the problem.
IMHO, no need to change TB assy, but try to adjust TPS according to manual. Most people will replace TB assy when they got rough idle problem. And problem solved. It is because new TB have good TPS alignment.

Relay: How It work and the differences

SPDT relays are widely use in automobile. I have found a few type of relay for different of application. But How does relay work?

Relay work when power apply to terminal 85 and 86. This will result the coil energized and create a magnetic field.
Normal state before power apply to relay is terminal 30 connected to terminal 87a also known as normally close state.
After coil energized, magnetic field will attract terminal 30 spade from terminal 87a moving toward terminal 87. Therefore, power from terminal 30 will transfer to terminal 87.



So far, I found 3 type of it.
  • Normal relay or horn relay
  • Immobiliser relay
  • Power Window relay
   Here is the internal picture of the relays.




For the power window relay, terminal 87 and 87a are internally connected. So when coil energized, both terminal will have powered.


For the immobilizer relay, it dont have pin 87. Which mean this relay only have normally close state. When alarm or immobilizer triggered, it will activated relay and therefore with proper wiring engine cannot start.

New brake line

After absorber removed for servicing purpose, found the brake hose already cracked.



I made a decision to use a custom made hose. Went to a nearby hydraulic shop to made it. It just a straight hydraulic hose with 3000 psi pressure printed on that hose. It also a multi layer hose with steel braided in the middle.

To remove the old hose, I made a mistake by rounded the nut. Then need to removed steel hose to the shop again to replace rounded nut. Unluckily, the original hose cannot be flare. The steel hose broke when try to flared it. Again, new steel hose to replaced that one.



Hopefully, this new setup is worth and last long.

*Unfortunately these type of hose is not suitable for brake line purpose. This hose expend when brake pedal pressed.
