Now then, Real progress I think! :) Took it out and gave it a blast, still cutting out when warm. Pulled the idler valve out and cleaned it with carb cleaner while it was still warm, as soon as I started cleaning it I heard a 'click ' from the valve! could it be sticking when hot?? Does this happen? :? Can it be repaired, could someone lend me one to check? rather than buy a new one for no reason.??? :oops: Dave

Checked the air filter box today!, some gimp had drilled holes in it resealed it and cleaned the flap thingy ( forgot the name of it) Going to get a coolant sensor and a new filter tomorrow, runs a little better.

:( Had a look round engine today, printed out the autodata so laptop would not get dirty, checked idler valve resistance read 6 ohms so should be ok, the rest is abit beyond me :oops: never messed around with injection cars before. Anyone know a local garage? I live near Notts ( contacted C&R) or a mobile mechanic? I'll check the coolant sensor ( If I can find it ) Dave :(

Cheers, I will have a look at the idler this weekend, and the wing mirros and see how to take head lining out! :mad: Dave

Starts and runs fine, but if you switch engine off after 5 or so mile ( temp 70degs) when you start it up , if you do not rev the engine it will not tick over ( dead below 1000) runs ok but no tick over? after 20 miles or so its ok??? :x ... I know it going to be a sensor somewhere but where! no workshop manual ! Help Dave

When the spoiler operates it is going up in stages? even on the manual switch, almost as if it is cutting out? is there a relay or something that overloads? and there is a buzzing something like a loose contact buzzin noise????
