ok ive just changed my turbo over as the seals were gone, started her up, but managed 2 get the firing order wrong, after messing with the leads and finding the correct order, she starts up fine, then yesterday morning, either it run out of fuel or this is where the problems started, it started splattering and coughing, so i decided 2 check leads and plugs, every thing seemed ok, then i took all the plugs out and fired her over, NIAGRA FALLS out of the spark plug hole fuel every where ( is this normal? as no plugs mean no comprssion in the pistons)i think the car has a boost valve fuel regulator, any way 4 brand new NGK R triple sparks later, put em in check all the dizzy, leads, plugs and the little plug which plugs into the distributer and nothing, even tried cutting the fuel off by switching off the fuel pump.This made the car run better until it ran out of fuel then, i put the fuel lines back 2 the engine, then hey presto, it starts and runs for about 30 secs till the fuel gets in the fuel system again then the problem starts again, could this be a knackard diapram in the regulator, ? when i checked the NEW plugs out and they are coverd in black soot?

ok, managed 2 get her running, but very very lumpy. it only really starts with the airflow off,sounds like its fireing on 3, give it a bit of throttle it sounds like its running normally. When i plug the air flow back in it starts 2 adjust and cuts out, im thinking its the fuel boost valve which is adjustable as ive adjusted it a few times, how do i adjust this correctly ? the burn is VERY VERY rich and it burns my eyes as i have a slight exhaust flange leak :s any ideas :confused and where would i check the blue plug ?
