Would you believe it, started clearing out the garage that my black MG Montego will be going back in and found a NOS multifunction unit YMB10022 in a box I bought off Mal. I'd forgotten all about that and a few other parts I'd bought off him. Old age forgetfulness creeping up on me then. Might be able to continue on this in August/September if I remember that is lol

Heads back on with all wires and pipes put back on, timed up but still not starting. Fuel pump primes but doesn't continue so no pressure. Will have to plug in my fast check that plugs into the fuel ecu and see what's going on, I have a feeling it could be the multifunction unit but will see, anyone have ymb 10022 as a spare ?Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 18th May 2020, 17:14.

After 7 years in the garage, it was brilliant just to hear it run again.
It was a good day, just like when it went for the mot .
They could believe how quick it was!
keep going pal. Alan.Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 17th April 2020, 16:31.

Ahhh yes, I can see that side of it too,I was thinking more of the finding a gasket bit rather than the needing one bit...On the plus side, better finding thē broken stud now than later when it was finished.

Replacement fuel rail and pressure regulator found, 4 injectors found and sprayed as much as possible with carb cleaner inside and cleaned outside, all from my spares, thermostat housing on and thermistor leak done,air valve stepper motor gasket fabricated, head cleaned enough. Just waiting for a replacement head and manifold gaskets to arrive. As xpart are the only place who have them and they're closed due to the virus, I asked a mate of mine and he came up trumps, turbo headgasket will be going onLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 7th April 2020, 16:40.

So I removed that and found one tip, buggar, so the head had to come off as I couldn't find the other one. Head removed and I found it wedged into a valve. Removed that and started cleaning up the head and found a broken exhaust manifold stud, luckily I removed that quite easily and replaced it from my spares stash. The head is now all cleaned up and ready to put back on once I've made a gasket up for the air valve stepper motor as that is full of sealant. I've also removed all injectors from the rail, 2 are broken and 2 are clogged up so the next thing is to locate 4 more from my spares, Good job I had nothing to do today, but on a good note, the car started and the valves aren't damaged with the cambelt being found to be 4 teeth out.Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 7th April 2020, 16:40.

Well that didn't go to plan. Put the new fuel pump on and its finally pumping fuel up but it wasn't getting to the bores. I poured a little petrol down the bores and the car started up so that's a good thing. Having to assume the injectors were at fault so I removed them, unfortunately 2 collapse and the tips fell into the inlet manifoldLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 5th April 2020, 15:34.
