LSA Supercharged 1972 Monte Carlo Hits The Dyno! Will It Survive?
What happens here
The dyno operator reviews the data logs from the aborted pull, focusing on fuel system parameters. He notes that the injector duty cycle reached 103%, which means the injectors were almost continuously open, indicating that they are being starved of fuel. The problem is attributed to insufficient fuel pressure, likely caused by a voltage drop through the small-gauge factory wiring that powers the fuel pump. The solution is to upgrade the power supply to the fuel pump.
Goal: Determine the root cause of the engine running lean.
