Let me bring y'all up to speed on what I done so far.

As far as advancing the mechanical engine timing (crank to cams) I tried advancing the cams one tooth and then two teeth. One tooth made a little better but two teeth made it fall on it's face.

I set the timing back to the factory settings and took the monty up town to the local garage. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

They put their sun machine on it and we found that #1,#3,&#5 were burning rich while #2,#4,&#5 were burning correct. On the analyzer occiliscope the peaks for 1,3,&5 were short & 2,4,6 were long.

We again sprayed down the intake with carb cleaner and found no leaks. (No gaskets sucking) The compression test for the engine showed all the cylinders to be relatively the same. 135psi - (spec is 130 to 150 psi) the heads and gaskets are good.

We ohmed out the injectors and they were all 15.7 ohms (spec is 13-18 ohms)

It appears the problem is in the one bank only. The mechanic is going to check my timing and if it is correct, he is going to advance the timing at the cam gears one tooth and see if the problem switches banks. Then he is going to advance just the left bank and see what it does.

It's got him stumped too! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I am trying to determine what could be at fault on only one bank.

Any suggestions? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
