must be more delicate than the old hotwire, then. Never hurt that having a
backfire up it.

Yeah, ok! Thanks for the quick response Richard. Turns out it isn't the AFM
after all, even though everything was pointing at it, it even made no
difference when you disconnected it! Seems it was already in some sort of
default mapping, due to the upstream R/H Lambda probe having failed to a
lean condition ( 0volts ) as it heats up! Could have been the failing probe
that caused the backfire I suppose. Bugger!
Wonder how long it'll be before the other 3 pack in - triple bugger!!!
Damn thing's got 4 probes (pre and post cat) even though it's a UK model - I
was always under the impression that it was only the nanny-state USA models
that were so equiped.
Still, at least the probe is only £53 online......

Ah, yes, old fashioned fuel metering devices that need relatively regular
tweaking to remain somewhere close to reasonable fuel mixture ratios,
affected by vibration, sideslopes and incompetents with screwdrivers that
think they know how to tweak them! Giving only low performance and economy
efficiency percentages when compared to the much more accurate modern
injection systems. ;-)
If only the modern systems could be fixed at the side of the road by the
same (or a similar) screwdriver-wielding incompetent!! Hahaha.
Badger.
P.S. I quite categorically refuse to include the flapper-type efi system
within the heading of "modern", it is an archaic device, only producing a
reasonable power increase over carbs due to the improved inlet manifold
design!!
