Hi guys n gal's
Hillbilly is my name n I'm new to the game
Recently purchased a 92 efi tb42 gq
The other day I washed her after taking her out for her weekly bushwalk now I may have ****ed up by pressure washing the engine bay as my issue has only started since doin so...
(Note I did have the engine running whilst doin so)
The issue I'm having is first start up starts fine let her run for a few minutes then turn it off let it sit for a min or two n try start it again n it won't start unless I've turned fuel pump off/removed fuel pump fuse every now n then it'll start up ok n then it'll start up rough as guts and lumpy black smoke chokey acceleration...🤔🤦🏻*♂️🤷🏻*♂️ I have no idea I've replaced fuel filter ,fuses, cleaned the map, cleaned the air filter checked wiring everything I've checked seems to be in working order...🤔🤦🏻*♂️
On another note I also have a clunking noise coming from front end suspension when turning sharply or goin over bumps 🤔 my thoughts are tie rod n drag link possibly need replacing as I've put in a 2inch lift recently also 🤔
Any info on these to problems would b muchly appreciated
Thankyou all in advance ☺ 💯

Welcome to the forum.

Do another thorough check all of the wiring harnesses in the engine bay by pushing all connecters together, as there are a couple of types that are hard to see if they are pushed all the way in.

Another overlooked cause of bumping noises when turning could also be the chassis to body mounts.
