Sounds like your ignition coil is on the way out....also remove coil lead from coil and check that the coil tower is not burnt/black. Check condition of spark plugs-take all 4 spark plugs out,if one or more are shiny and clean this indicates that coolant is entering into combustion chamber.Also chec...

Yes you need to take out the guages and clean/or replace the voltage regulator which is mounted on the rear of the guage cluster.Very easy to clean,if still no good an auto electrician/instrument specialist should be able top source a new voltage reulator.

As for the clutch cable locator tube,if you dont want to weld on your car,just cut a 50mmx50mm square steel plate to size,drill a hole in each corner,then weld the cable locator tube to the plate.You can then use the four holes in the plate to screw it onto the fire wall of your car instead of weldi...

I used to own a factory manual Gj SE Sigma about 30 years ago,and i still have the factory workshop manual for it(well whats left of it anyway).Here is what I can find from it: Paint codes:CL-6054-Satin Wood Metallic.Repair laquer codes:Berger-HH9156,Dulux-522-34386,Spartan-15052. TU-6062-Light Tan ...

I am pretty sure I have a GE SE rear parcel shelf here in my garage.I will dig it out tomorrow(too cold now).From memory it has speaker holes cut into it....will confirm tomorrow.

Just a correction to the above post.Peter Wherett Sigma did not not come from factory with Weber carburettor.They used the same mikuni /solex carburettor as other Sigmas,but had factory fitted extractors.This was just pointed out to me by my friend who owned one of these cars back in the 1980s.

Carburetor on your car is actually a Solex design which was made under license by Mikuni Corporation in Japan.Very early models actually have Solex written on the top cover,while later versions have "Mikuni Corp,Japan" on them.Rebuild kits and parts are still readily available here in Aust...

Definitely the early bi-metallic spring type auto choke.The auto choke assembly is the round bit at rear of the carburettor with the 2 water connections on it. Auto choke operation is controlled by the temperature of the engine coolant..If the choke flap is fully open(vertical) when engine is cold,a...

To adjust air/fuel mixture,wind mixture screw in clockwise until the engine slows and begins to falter,then turn the mixture screw anti-clockwise until the engine runs smoothly again,but does not lose speed or hunt.If idle speed has changed,re adjust using the idle speed screw(do not re adjust mixtu...

First,try resetting automatic choke by depressing accelerator pedal to floor and releasing before starting engine.If this does not fix your problem,then you need to determine whether you have the early bi-metallic spring type choke or the later wax pellet type choke as both have different problems a...

very easy to change...just undo 3 screws,remove cover and withdraw and replace accelerator pump diaphragm...just be careful not to lose the spring.

Yep thats what the accelerator pump diaphragm does..another symptom if it is split is a flat spot on acceleration.

Choke flap should be fully closed when engine is cold,,that white nylon/plastic gear with the worn/broken tooth is what closes/opens the choke flap...might be a good idea to replace it.Also,if you have to pump accelerator a few times to get it to start,you may also have a split accelerator pump diap...

Sounds like wax pellet which controls automatic choke is sticking at start up and then freeing itself as motor warms up.Try resetting auto choke by depressing accelerator pedal to floor and then releasing it before starting engine.May also be worth spraying a small amount of Wd40 or similar lube spr...

Highgate car air,376 South Rd,Richmond SA...ph.1800151515...part number for Ge/Gh Sigma heater tap is Htv67226.

no worries

Procedure for fitting distributor is the same for both 2 litre and 2.6 litre Astron motors.The following procedure applies to Astron motors fitted with Bosch electronic ignition distributor only.Not applicable to 1.6 litre saturn motor(but I can look it up for you if this is the motor you have). 1.G...

Wax pellet rod may just be stuck in cold/retracted position...try spraying wd40 or similar lubricant onto rod to free it up.Also,as wax pellet is coolant temperature operated, check that hot coolant is actually reaching the wax pellet as the coolant entry point on wax pellet is very narrow and can e...

If still using original Mikuni/Sloex carby,your fast idle problem will be caused by the wax pellet being stuck in the cold position.

Pump will work fine with return line blanked off..blanking plug should come with fuel pump,just make sure you use the correct fuel resistant plug.According to Goss website,G642a supersedes G575a,so pump should work as long as actuator arm is the same...just compare it to your old pump to make sure.

looking at your pics,your original carby has a wax pellet operated automatic choke,and the replacement carby has a bi-metallic spring operated automatic choke(as fitted to early GE Sigmas)...your coolant /water hoses will bolt up to either choke type(just make sure the internal spring is not rusted ...

sounds like your timing mark may be wrong..pulley may have spun....pull out number one spark plug(the front one)and turn engine slowly clockwise until rotor is on number one firing position...then check that number one piston is actually at top dead centre by looking down number one spark plug hole ...

Sorry..did not realise you were in the UK...bit hard to go to to repco or bursons..even autobarn...Anyway maybe someone on here can post you a good working secondhand pump...even the one on ebay is pretty cheap as it is around the same price as a rebuild kit and the recommendeded retail price for a ...

aftermarket fuel pumps are still available for Sigma GE 2 litre,ask your local repco,bursons,autobarn etc to look it up in the Goss/Fuelmiser catalogue.Note that there are 2 different types of pump rocker arms used(some early motors used a straight rocker arm, and later engines used a bent or double...

As stated above,there were 2 types of automatic choke fitted to GE Sigmas,early models used a bi-metallic spring choke,later models used a wax pellet type choke.Neither system is electric.(due to age of these cars now,either system may be fitted to your car by now).As engine coolant temperature cont...

Your wiper relay is faulty...had similar problems with my GJ about 22 years ago..wipers staying on is caused by water entering the relay..very easy to replace...once you find it...it is screwed onto the inner drivers side guard (i am pretty sure its on the drivers side...hope my memory is good as I ...

Base model of GE Sigma(called Sigma Galant) came standard with 1.6 litre saturn and jap 4 speed gearbox,but could be optioned up with 2 litre astron and 3 speed borg warner 35 auto only(no manual 2 litre available in base model.).I used to own one of these.(factory 2 litre and auto.).Base models of ...

just look for a multi meter that has a tacho feature--dont forget to set it to correct number of cylinders.

tool is called an easyout.Not sure what motor you have,but if it has balance shafts then the oil problem may be a loosly adjusted balance shaft chain or the balance shaft chain guides may also be worn causing chain to bind at low rpm.

Fast idle/automatic choke on most Sigmas(except some early Ge Sigmas,sigma turbo and Peter Wherret Specials)is operated by a water/coolant temperatue actuated wax pellet.Low coolant temperature when engine is cold causes wax pellet rod to retract,closing choke flap and increasing engine rpm,and this...
