Stepper motor, HT leads and rotor arm

Spent the day literally taking the Chimp apart.

• Oil and filter change
• Air filter clean
• ECU out and checked all readings as per Steve Heaths' Griffith and Chimaera Bible
• Checked plug gaps
• Looked for oil leaks
• Checked Oil pressure relief valve
• Cleaned stepper motor
  

Here's what I found:

1. HT leads needed replacing - done
   
2. Injection system over fueling
   
3. Rotor Arm knackered - done
   
4. Throttle potentiometer badly adjusted - fixed
   

Car runs much better now - no hesitation and idles perfectly.
Still over fueling - got to sort that.

Oil pressure is on the low side when really hot - suspect the sender or gauge.

The car is mine 07/07/07

Drove across the country to look at the car.

It was a Chimaera 450 (1999), in Starmist blue with magnolia and blue hide and blue carpet.

The car needed a lot of TLC.
Particularly:

• The leather
• The hood
• The body work
• The Camshaft

However:

• It was a great price
• It has a brand spanking new chassis! Not due to accident damage but done under warranty before TVR when belly up
• It was the model I wanted in colours that I like

Images to come soon!

Cash parted with and driven home - sweet

Noticed a few problems - throttle response pretty poor, engine a bit tappy.
