I have a rough idle when stopped (brake pressed, in drive), my rpms are stable, but my car just vibrates a lot. I have put new spark plugs, checked coils, did smoke test, changed one leaking fuel injector (that I thought was leaking) and its orings. I still get rough idle and my long term fuel trim is -25% in Park, and -12.5% when in drive and stopped. I am guessing my fuel injectors are not spraying properly or leaking. Will have to change those.

That seems like a weird problem. have you tested the intake manifold gasket?
@AH-ky7xb8 күн бұрын
@@modaufygarage Hi, thanx for your quick reply. I did a smoke test and found smoke emanating only from one fuel injector to head interface, so i'd hope it should smoke thru the intake mani. gasket as well if it were leaking. Also, I dont think I would be getting consistent (not sure why they are so exact) negative fuel trims if I had an air leak. The o2 sensor seems to be working ( I put in a new one, but car was vibrating even with the old one), the fuel trims do fluctuate and my short term fuel trim is good, always b/w -5/5%.

Thanks for the video. Huge help. Torque specs according to hynes manual is 90Nm and 56Nm. I installed a non ford top engine mound and had to grind off 3mm on the engine side to make it fit. Just incase anyone has the same problem.
@modaufygarage25 күн бұрын
You’re welcome. Awesome! Thanks for the torque specs. That’s weird that your had to grind off 3mm for a ‘replacement’ part. I recently did the front suspension on my falcon and the top strut mount didn’t even fit, so I reverted back to the originals.

@modaufygarage4 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. I did fill the oil to the 2nd line then took it for a ride to get it operating temperature before doing my final check, I think I needed a little more oil to get it to the upper dipstick mark. I did say to put in less and fill as required. I based my oil fill on the owners manual that I got from the Triumph Australia website. They suggest an oil fill capacity of 3.2L for an oil and filter. Triumph also indicate that the top of the upper marking on the dipstick is at the end of the cross hatch (at the top). Also the capacity of oil I removed (previous service done at a mechanic) equals the amount I put back in. The manual states, "when full the indicated oil level must be level with the upper marking on the dipstick". I would be happy to know if Triumph have come out with a revision for this as I have been working with what I have read.
