Wiring Puzzle!

[swanny1970]

Hi All

 

Right, had loads of help with the problems I posted about compression - turned out to be coils and not compression related! The car is about 95% better now, running with so much more power, but, the odd thing is this.

 

Start the car, drives great for about a minute, then starts to hesitate, not like before, but still a definite hesitation. At first, I accelerated a little more to over ride it, but the jolt is similar to that of whiplash! So, the other day, I pulled over, left the car running, lifted the bonnet and tried the very specialised and technical approach of push this and wiggle that!! All of a sudden, after wiggling some wires above the injectors, the engine revved slightly and sounded much sweeter. Got back in the car and it drove like a brand new car, not one hesitation. Thought I had fixed it, until I switched the car off, went shopping with the missus, got back in and a minute later, hesitation again. Did a bit more wiggling, again with the engine on and same thing, car drove great.

 

Now, wiggling these wires temporarily fixes the problem until the ignition is switched off and on again. You can hear the engine rev slightly when messing with the wires. I have found a wire, which is housed in the black casing above the injectors and seems to lead to the injectors, that has an insulating block in the middle with two wires going in and one coming out. This has a break in the block as I can feel it. Only problem is, sometimes, grabbing a bunch of wires and wiggling them will solve the problem too. I am thinking it may be the connector block on the lead going to the injector, but can this connector be repaced? I don't want to start disconnecting things, to find I have to buy a really expensive part to fix it :lol:

 

Just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar and again any help and advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards
