engine cut out at 3500rpm

Well f**k me get these men above some beer!!!!!

Biggest thanks must go to Cypriotgeeza, whose intervention has shortened this thread by about two pages!
The layout of items on the M30 engine is different than that on a M20, and it may well be possible to easily mix up the ICV and TPS plugs, but I really did think there was no real possibility of this on a M20. I now know differently.
Biggest problem now is to identify what the previous owner, who seems to spout a considerable amount of bullsh*t, has messed up in his attempts to sort the car out.

Someone once helped me with this frustrating problem and I'm just happy I've been able to help someone else!

Help from complete strangers is a very rare thing these days but not on this site thankfully enough!

Which is why I love this place!

I had this same problem after I replaced the head-gasket on my M30

I tried EVERYTHING to fix it..changed everything I could think of..Nothing worked..

Then someone on here reminded me that the Plugs on the ICV and TPS were exactly the same and maybe I Mixed them up..

He was right

Good call right there
