Part 3 - 1998 Bentley Brooklands R Fueling Puzzle. Stabbing in the dark

Firstly, been waiting on some uploads from you. Didn't think you'd give us all 8 months worth in 2 weeks! Either way thank you. This could be one or maybe even two problems. But I think to go forward there should be a backwards retreat to the basics. Low pressure (which is no more?), running rich with a fluctuating idle. The first thing is to smoke her out. Make sure of no leaks. That way removing a vacuum hose doesn't help make a fluctuating idle less so. Secondly can you get ECM information on a scanner? What do temp sensors say? MAF/MAP readings. I once had a fragment of a leaf the size of a shaved piece of garlic get caught in an MAF filament cause a stall/rough running condition. I spent hours trying to find that one. Is the car running rich because it's being told to do so or reacting directly to a mechanical fault? Changing injectors just because they could be thought of sticking open doesn't help when doing so throws you off due to a slight improvement. New injectors sometimes do improve things just due to their newness but not when they're not the underlying issue. I don't know how much information there is from early OBD-II componentry but replacing and opening things only opens the possibility of another problem (brittleness causing another issue that wasn't existent prior to diagnosing). Also you've got multiple cars of the same brand/type within the same generation. I want to think there are in date service manuals that are available that would be a time and money saver. Also partially non related: 1) I've been using ethanol free fuel for the 'sitters' for a couple of years now. It's more expensive but I look at it as necessary to keeping these things that were not designed with modern fuels in mind. My cars are more hours run than miles added. The gas sits more than is used on them. This helps a lot in terms of parts degradation due to moisture absorption etc plus newer fuels attacking older componentry. I don't have time for these things like I used to and worse, I don't want to fix something one day and fix the same thing years later with only 2 (about 15 hours run time) miles added onto it. Yes I've already done that. If you have this in your area, please think about using it. 2) IF you don't have it consider adding exhausting fans to the warehouse. Those summer months will start cooking things. You don't work in there during that time I know but the indoor temperature is sometimes higher than the outdoor ambient temperature by 10-20 degrees which already could be triple digits (that's 38+ degrees Celsius to non USA). This is better for the cars and will help keep the problems lowered that you don't have to resultingly chase. In another video you were talking about thinning the herd. These two things that are minimally passive should have a mechanically retarding benefit to inactive aging/wear and affect almost all your cars there. I still want to see more of the 1987&'88 cars. 😀

I enjoy your updates but I think everyone would appreciate it if you could normalize your audio levels before publishing. 🎤📈
