Hopefully final three questions

Post Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:02 pm

Hi, Hopefully final questions, no.1 When the battery is connected there is a metal cylinder under the inlet manifold that buzzes, what is it and why does it buzz? I have unplugged it and it doesn't affect the running/starting.
That said no.2 The car runs extremmely rich, whats causing this and what is a possible fix?

no.3 Lastly, can't seem to get an airlock out, righthand hose gets red hot, left hand hose is still cool, engine is hot, i've bled loads of cars but never had this much grief, new stat and water pump fitted prior to install.

Any help greatly appreciated, Thankyou

That'll be your ICV (idle control valve) if its buzzing, then its working, leave it plugged in.

Duff Lambda or the fact you have the ICV unplugged ????????

Are you getting hot air from the heaters? and is the radiator hot/cold allover ?
