Administrators hughezee Posted August 29, 2019 Administrators Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 The new motor has arrived and in need of a little TLC and an engine misfire to track down, although think it's just an HT lead, everything else works... Already started to feed the leather seats and more updates & pictures to follow soon... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted August 29, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks for all the positive responses, managed to swap all the HT leads, spares from an Accord Coupe V6 fitted better than the originals in the holes, although two slightly too short and the misfire persists 🤔 oh well rules out a simple fix unless a lead is in the wrong place 😑 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in recently - has it had a "period of inactivity"? If so, meths in the fuel tank, check the dizzy cap connectors not only whre the HT leads pug in but also the segments inside, earth on the ignitor, injector cleaner (or an eggcup of ATF) in the fuel tank, check plugs/gaps and also the two large multiplugs on the R/H suspension tower, assuming it has them. Are there any fault codes flashing up on the ECU at all? Save you bending and contoroting yourself, use a spare door mirror or your phone on video setting to have a look. Then of course there's a drop of ATF in with the engine oil to free off any lazy tappets that might not be noisy but bleeding down due to not getting full pressure because they're dirty. Not trying to "teach my granny about eggs" as i'm sure you know, just little reminders as trying to think a problem through when you're in pain isn't easy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the suggestions from our resident C series expert, so I will go through all your suggestions buddy it was running sweet when parked up and has sat for a little while and developed the misfire so back to basics then a new timing belt water pump will be fitted... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's something simple and you'll suss it out. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 30, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Dizzy was very crusty but all cleaned and need to find a replacement though, but the misfire persisted however I couldn't smell fuel so was thinking blocked injector(s) and then my gorgeous assistant Nikki found the problem. 😍 RODENT DAMAGE 😫 Photo Credit Nikki Already stripped everything out and I will sit resting with soldering iron and replace all the damaged wires and report back soon... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 30, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Don't get too involved in sodlering Stu, i think i have a replacement loom! Got a couple of spare inlet manifolds, one of which has the wiring still on it. I'll double check as i know one of them was converted to LPG (using a mixer, not injection) and i might be mistaking the wiring for the LPG side of things. I hate those meeces to pieces! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 30, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Sorry to raise your hopes Stu, checked that manifold but the loom on it is for the injector emulators. How are you getting on with the soldering? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 30, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Thanks for having a look buddy, got her purring like a kitten now, just the occasional blip once warm, think fresh fuel and a new dizzy will sort that out 😋 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 30, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 You're welcome Stu! Glad it's all sorted mate and some fresh fuel and a decent run to expel the cbowebs should see it running nicely again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 30, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just ordered a few bits, dizzy, HT leads, seals, filters including full timing belt kit and water pump 👍 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 30, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Obviously worth spending a few bob on then !! How is the bodywork??? interior ??? Many miles or a low miler? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted August 31, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Got a Honda legend manual, part number 32SP1730C, Honda Logistics version if its any use.??? Might be the later Coupe just thinking about it... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted August 31, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 A little over 110k, engine & box are sweet and recent exhaust, well worth spending some money on IMO. The leather interior just needs feeding for a few months before dying it, bodywork is very good 3 minor rust areas which will cut out and get fresh metal welded in but nothing major needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 31, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 This might be helpful Stu : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8v8oi9bqH3ZQXBpY2NRMVdyaFk Scroll down and there are some Legend specific Honda manuals including the Coupe, may be a little too late for your wee beastie but should hold some relevant info, also lots of stuff there on the early 827 which is very similar mechanically. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member PaulS Posted September 1, 2019 Founding Member Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 I was at Cholmondeley Festival of 1000 classics today and met the Legend guy that sold Stu the car! Seems he has a good few more and some Coupes too. He was in another superb red Legend..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, that is a touch and a half.....a free Legend Mark 1 Coupe!!! Gorgeous colour combo! Looking forward to meeting her one day. Picking up my friends Mk 1 Coupe from Northampton in the next couple of weeks. Another stunning example 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
