[Richy325iTouring]

Thanks Richy

ICV-is it dirty or not got an airtight connection?

AFM-no unmetered air getting in through a split in the pipes/TB tightened correctly?

ECU-did you give it the minimum 10 mins sitting at idle to get base settings?

Fuel pressure too high?

sorry thats all I can think of-hope you get it sorted!

sounds more like you've got the wrong parts on there
air flow or even ecu. Is the loom damaged?

they both the same parts that were on it originally

do u have to do that everytime u disconnect battery then ?

No one's mentioned the obvious - throttle cable too tight.
Chwck there is a little slack on idle.

throtle ok
seems ok this morning
might have been wet but i changed the breather from the fuel pressue regulator to the inlet

try a vacume hose somewhere it would sent the idle i bit mad.

[Richy325iTouring]

checked everywhere for vac leaks cant find any

whole car is doing my nut in
well all cars after the week ive had
thinking of just breaking nemo now ive really had enough.

what does it do when you try and rev it up?? does it go smothley or does it only go so far, coz i remember when i done 1 a while ago the syptoms sound just like yours, it was a verry fcuked up idle where it was just going up and down, and when i tryed to rev it up it seemed like the limiter had been brought down to about 4000rpm, and i tracked it down to the conections next to the reset thing on the engine, i think one is the timing sensor, and the other is erm.....

all i had done was connected them up the wrong way round

the other is the oil pressure switch

i thought somthing similar but those two plugs are the opposite way up to each other and with a straight engine swap would probably not be touched. Although it would explain the increase in rev's

make sure its all wired up right......

[Martinaston]

Richy
does the throttle close all the way ? not just the spring on top.
if so what happens when you pull the icv out and block the holes ? (hold the throttle open slightly to compensate but leave the loom connected)

[Richy325iTouring]

all wired up right idle down now standard chip in but its still idlleing high.

runs like a bag of olts and is over fueling to buggary.
had enough of it think im gona get rid cant be doing with teh hassle and buy myself a denzil heap of shit just for work.
fcuk the cars now

[dazleeds]

[Richy325iTouring]

High idle and over fueling sounds like blue temp sensor. You sure you got the right connector on it?

yep i have some mechanical knowladge lol
there a new one fitted to the engine though
was gona swap that with the one on my engine but i cant get at it properly and realy wana take the inlet off to do a bloody sensor

[SCOTT325SE]

i thought that you would keep your old inlet anyway mate, as its black
