Is there also an adjustment that can be made on the petrol injection ??..and if so , where ?
Is the 4.2 a mechanical pump like the diesels?

Dont mess about with 33s just get on the 35s and with this simple pump tweak it performs again now. Can't wait to get my GU diffs in now ;)
Hey there, do you have an exhaust gas temp gauge when doing this? It was suggested to me to fit one and then play around with the fuel screw, mine is na, injectors and pump were done almost exactly 12 months ago before I bought it , Dyno tuned aswell, came out at 53 kW, lately fuel consumption has been all over the shop, down to 12.5 and one fill up to 17.8 L/100km seems to be lacking power slightly over some similar set ups that are almost identical. Wondering if is down on power and therefore working harder and using more fuel to get where am going. You saying all you did was adjust fuel screw then readjust idle and now all sweet?
Cheers. Phil

So I had done the same as you makeitfit and come to the same conclusion, searched and searched on here and google and asked anyone else I could, as I said earlier it was suggested to me to fit an egt gauge, after reading your posts this morning I decided what the hell, I have 3" Exhaust, standard wheels, 31" I think they are & NA. After a couple of adjustments without noticeable change I got to a quarter of a turn from where it originally was which made the idle go up just a fraction. After a bit of a road test which around mount Gambier as Kallen would know it's pretty hard to find much of a hill and readjusting the idle screw I have decided I think it feels like it is pulling noticeably better which is what I was hoping for ;-). The real test will be tonight when I drive to Adelaide and see if it has had any effect on fuel consumption. Stay tuned, will let you know how I go in a few days.
Cheers. Phil
