My 1986 gtv6 with 107k on the clock has been running like a champ thus far...no smoking, misfiring, hesitation, etc.

I neglected to drive the car enough so the battery needed a jump when it went dead.

Apon jumping the car, the starter turns over as it should but the car will not fire up.

I checked the coil for arcing as I tried to start it and the spark indicated to me that it is working properly.

In the process of attempting to start it repeatedly, it never sounds like it even wants to TRY and turn over.

Then....I'm noticing the smell of fuel. Fuel is somehow working itself down my air intake tube because it appears to be leaking out of the area by my mass air flow sensor, and into my air cleaner airbox.

So....I let the car sit overnight thinking I may have somehow flooded the system as I tried to start it over and over. I only depressed the fuel once as I tried to start it thinking I may somehow flood the car...but obviously fuel has flooded itself down my air intake tube.

Well, it seems to me I'm getting spark and getting fuel (?)...

What am I missing??

I'm really unsettled about the ordeal, although I do realize these things happen.

Hoping someone has crossed this bridge before and they may be able to advise.

Anyone that may have some solid input would be hugely appreciated.

Enjoy your holiday weekend!!

So I removed the carb on 1 and 2 stripped it down, rebuilt it and fitted it, still it only runs on 3 and 4. Tried a spare carb still only runs on 3 and 4??
I replaced the distributor, I have a spark on all plugs that would kill a horse!! And the plugs on 1 and 2 are wet when I remove them. But at the risk of repeating myself, Still it will only run on 3 and 4.

I am at a loss, can anyone think of anything I may have missed?? ]]> Arch Stanton http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/170330-nord-running-problem.html Alfetta gtv 2.0 fuel tank http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/170310-alfetta-gtv-2-0-fuel-tank.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 01:34:21 GMT Hi guys this is my first post.This might sound like a stupid question, but is the fuel tank from a GTV the same as an alfetta sedan.

It's a water pipe and with a t piece goes into the interior of the car and then plugs to the back of the engine
Also does the water bottle over flow pipe just dangle?

So knowing that I needed new shocks I sourced some Koni yellows from one of the larger online suppliers around the place in the US - good exchange rate 'n all was going to save me some cash.

All was looking good, except that I got reds for a 105 first time around - no go for my 83 GTV6. :mad: So I sent them back, they will cover postage etc and I stumped up for the correct ones. Just got them today and checked the Koni site - I have front and rear shocks for 85-89 GTV,GTV6 parts (80-2570Sport and 80-2571Sport) , however, according to the Koni website, I should have got part numbers 80-2241Sport and 80-2242Sport for 76-84 GTV,GTV6. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Now my question is, can I put on the shocks that I have been sent without issue? From what I can see the tube for the fronts is at the bottom but on the originals still on the car, the boot covering the piston shaft is at the bottom - is that the only difference? I would like to be sure whatever I end up with will work properly. This may well be the last transaction I conduct with this particular store... :mad: ]]> martym00se72 http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/170281-what-does-take-get-right-shocks.html GTV6 engine bay photos please http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/170259-gtv6-engine-bay-photos-please.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:56:19 GMT I am doing a full restore of my 1984 GTV6 and have put the engine back in and am having a few issues confirming where all the electric plug and some pipe go.

I took copious photos when I stripped it but they look a bit funny. Could any kind soles put up some photos of their engine bays. close ups of where the electrics plug in would be greatly appreciated. also there is a small pipe which come off the bottom of the fuel inlet (picture enclosed). I believe it plugs onto the inlet plenum could someone confirm this.

Looks like they're the adjustable monotube design, yes? Are there any other options that maybe cost less? I put a set of Bilsteins on my old Focus SVT that cost a little less than $300, and I thought they were the bees knees. I also had some some Eibachs on my Integra GSR that were the cat's pajamas. Those were on the car when I got it, but cost about $300 or so. None were adjustable, but they all still provided a controlled, if firm ride, and could hunker down in the corners. Maybe because those cars were all strut based setups there were more options? Or is Koni the only manufacturer that bothers to mess with our geometry and hardware anymore?

Just wondering. ]]> chairmankaga http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/170229-shocks-other-than-konis.html 2.0 ltr Head thickness http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/alfetta-gtv6-1975-1986/170202-2-0-ltr-head-thickness.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:24:09 GMT Hi all. I would appreciate it if a check could be made on published data Autobooks, Alfetta, page 16 1973 to 1979. Ashaved 2.0 cylinder head, " a final cylinder head height of less than 111.5mm (4.39in), a new cylinder head must be fitted." I thought or some of my contacts have informed me that an original head has a thickneess (height) of 112.0mm. Is 0.019in or 0.5mm the max recommended you can reduce the head height.
