right new gaskets on and all put back together but errm ive acquired a pipe lol

its still misfiring up to 1500rpm and still stinking off eggs 

wheres this one go?

[Andy H]

It looks like the one that goes to the fuel pressure regulator. Does the other end go to a spigot next to the throttle body?

[lozzy]

its connected to this pipe on green corcle

[Matchless]

Should be fitted to the fuel pressure regulator, 30 mm dia shiney metal thing under the plennum.

well found the pipe re fitted it changed the plugs they were shafted allburnt and rusty from where they was swimming it idled much better but still missing and sounding like a subaru and the engine is hunting  so it looks like im going to have to change the cats  :-/

Don't condemn the cats yet mate

Are you SURE you have a spark on each plug - and no air leaks? Any fault codes?

[lozzy]

yea i deffiantly sure i have spark on each one because idle over 1500revs the misfire is not there and when driving under laod it feels very restrictive when i booted it in second gear the enfine sounded very strained and topped out at about 40mph  :-? there is no EML light comming up

[RobG]

As James says. Have you checked for any fault codes?

The cats stink of rotten eggs because they are being flooded with unburnt fuel. Fix the misfire first & then see if the cats have suffered.

As others have said, check for fault codes first. There are lots of possible causes for a misfire (but damaged cats isn't one I am aware of)

[lozzy]

i suppose that if it was the cat it would chuck up the eml light as the last lambada sensor would get a bad value ?

so looks like  next up is the dis pack to be changed
