Hello again...Same recurring problem with my 1991, 3.9 RRC. All timing set up correctly, car running like...... a car ! Then it doesn't like pulling away at junctions...stalls and won't restart. I've got fuel (I know this coz it floods) I have a nice bright blue spark coming off of the plugs, it has no leaks in the vac hoses on the dizzy. New rotor arm & dizzy cap fitted. Turns over lovely, but still won't bloody start ! I don't really want to spend any more (=A3550 already) getting the timing reset, just for it to slip again. I think that it may be the nylon sprocket on the timing chain that could be worn, but I'm not really sure, and to get a mechanic to look at it will cost =A3300+. I will do whatever needs doing, but being of a weak womanly type, I don't think I'll be able to do it all myself, I'm also unsure if what I suspect is correct. Can anyone help me out, both in the diagnosis and the rectifing of my problem ? I live in Middlesex, about 10 mins away from Heathrow. Many thanks
