So I'm having a too hot of fuel related problems.
1) Starting after running it and letting the car sit for a while requires running the starter for extended periods.
2) Sitting at stop lights and the engine starts to idle really rough, all most wants to die and I need to step on the gas a little to keep it running fairly smoothly.
3) Not sure if this is related, but when I get into boost, sometimes the engine backfires through the carburetor, I should document this better so I know if it does it all the time when it's only hot.
So one of the problems I have is with a lot of under hood exhaust components, 2-manifolds, 2-turbine housings and downpipes off the turbines.
Here is what I have to try to keep the heat from causing problems.
1) 1/2" carburetor insulator.
2) Heat shields around the 2-turbines and part of the 2-downpipes.
3) Electric fuel pump back at the tank.
4) Fuel filter not in the engine compartment.
Anyone know at what temperature things get out of hand for fuel? I mean what is a safe under hood temperature?
Has anyone had similar problems and what worked for them?
Thanks, Deron.
