rusty55125 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Can anyone help me find the torque settings for the intake plenum and any other bolts that I will need to remove in order to get the starter out? Is there a description somewhere on how to remove the starter on a 1998 Esprit? I know that it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Günter 28 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) the M8 bolds require 20Nm to place the starter under the plenum produces a compact engine, but if it needs some work... ..this starter mounting sreew is also one of Lotust finest engineering things Edited September 11, 2007 by G Quote ********************************************************************* to name the things if I see them, that's what I call integrity.. ********************************************************************* Link to post Share on other sites

rusty55125 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 This help a lot!! Do you have an overview of the motor and the locations of parts that need to be removed? Also, what is the procedure to remove the pressure in the fuel line? I will take pictures while I take it apart according to the manual Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zhastaph 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 You're supposed to disconect the power to the fuel pump then turn the engine over. I've had my plenum off loads of times and have just disconnected the secondary injectors, the worst you get is a small splash of fuel. If you have a Uk car then they don't have an EGR. And make sure you get a pair of gasket for the plenum chamber to manifold before you remove it. Other than that follow Joey's instructions, it's an easy job and in reality is little more involved than looking around the plenum carefully removing things that are connected to it .....

Günter 28 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 ...And make sure you get a pair of gasket for the plenum chamber to manifold before you remove it. ... i know some of you hate my impropper methods, but you do not realy need to pay for a set of gaskets. just use the old for some drawing of a new one made from stiff 1mm paper... .
