Here a bit of a problem job that came in recently. Early 1990s Mazda B2000 (or ford courier are the same). Tidy conversion. The owner had not long purchased the vehicle. It was mentioned the last owner spend around $22K building the vehicle , not sure what that includes but I would expect it to include paintjob and mags along with the conversion. Present owner got it for a good price but guessed it was down on power. He thought about 100rwkw. When I put it on the dyno it only layed down 60rwKW.
It is running a UZS141 crown motor , with a slip joint UZS131 crown auto and a Soarer UZZ30 ECU. Wiring was neat and tidy. Radiator hoses around the wrong way. It was a tidy build but just didnt make power.
After a bit of fault finding and daignoses I found the issue which was voltage to the wrong place at the wrong time. 14 hours and she made 124rwKW which I was happy with it being auto. There are somethings people just should do.
I wired a diagnostic plug , scanner helped but everything looked good. Compression tested , checked mixtures , checked camtiming , ignition timing , then out came the osilloscope and I started checking ECU voltages and patterns 1 by 1. Found nothing so had the vehicle running on the dyno and did the same tests until I found the stray voltage. Im not going to disclose what wire so please dont ask.
Cheers
