no power
we have a 1986 v12 been stood for many tears we have it running now will rev up but when you try to drive it there's just no power,and the exhaust on the left is a lot hotter than the right hand side any ideas
fuel system cleaned out injectors removered and cleaned injector cleaner put in the new fuel new plugs,distributor remover and checked all ok leads all ok,starts up first turn of the key with no pedel used ticks over fine just lazy until it gets to 3000 rpm then its revs up fine,but put it in gear its just flat
Try a flash-stall test on the gearbox. In drive, foot on brake HARD, blast throttle for a second and see what the rev counter does. If it does NOT flash to 2600rpm or so, then gearbox is the problem. I just learned about this the hard way on a mate's car!
The A bank temperature difference is probably not related. I'd confirm all your injectors are actually activating. You can pull the whole rail up and support it connect onae at a time. Twist the throttles open quickly and confirm the connected injector fires. Slide a clear hose over the nozzle into a catch can.
Fire potential is high so extinguisher and a helper would be wise.

Does it have Marelli ignition, or Lucas? Because this sounds like classic "Marelli meltdown" failure, where one bank of ignition fails.
