Hello,
My girlfriends triumph accord has a problem. It will not idle and cuts out. I've checked the spark plugs and the distributor and cleaned them. Has anyone come across this problem before. can't get on the triumph newsgroup because i'm on a tesco server. thanks for any help. andrew.
well model would help! if it is fi then check for air leaks

Can you get a fuel injected acclaim ?
I thought it said accord, but was not aware of a triumph accord, acclaim yes, same question, any air leaks, or possible blocked idle jet.

Think the first injection in that 'series' was the Rover 216 EFI.
Wonder if you cludge one of those into an acclaim, that'd be evily Qcar
I had a 216 badged as a Vitesse once as a loan car. Just as well I hadn't bought it or I'd have sued under the trades description act...
Most likely a choked slow running jet on the carb -- also check for a vacumn leak where the vac hose goes into the brake servo - known fault on older Rover/Honda models.
Didn't bear much resemblance to a proper one did they :-)
No - *at least* a couple of cylinders short. ;-)
The message from Dave Plowman contains these words:
You ought to go see a dental hygienist and get that halitosis fixed, Dave.
