    3200 restarting after stall. Immobilisor?

    Can someone confirm if the fact that my 3200 needs 30 seconds with the ignition off after stalling it before it will restart is a design feature or not? The same applies if I turn the car off after a run then try to immediately restart. It occurs at any time after the car has been running for...

    I have a misfire on my car I am trying to resolve. It started after i removed the inlet manifold for which I also remove the injector and coil wiring. Now I think I may have found the problem, but I need someone to verify something for me. This all relates to the bank of cylinders on the...

    Oil and other 3200GT liquids

    Having given some input into the antifreeze thread in the tech fixes forum, I thought I'd express an opinion here for your comments: It seems that all of the specified fluids for use in a 3200GT are a little old in terms of spec. Petronas I fear are making top $ selling us products which...

    Crank pulley bolt - check yours!

    Stripped down the front and top covers off my engine in prep for painting (oil separator, inlet manifold, cam belt and cam shaft covers and coil covers). This is part of a job to do the cambelt, tensioners and chains, and also fix the faulty (jammed open) stat - I get the 50 deg on the...

    3200 Taste Police - Opinion Needed!
