Swompy

HAHA no worrys, I dont think it is the switch or cable as Dave and Graham both looked at that when I payed the a visit a few weeks ago and they said they are good. Only thing I can think of is either the cold start valve has a intamitent problem, or its the cold start sensor thingy :confused4: I know I couldnt belive how dirty it was and the car has only covered 85K miles. I'm not to fused about the inlet manifold as I have a nice new and clean one to go on soon 8)

Cleaning my thottle body seams to have half sorted the probolem. In the mornings when I leave for work ( 5.30 am) it starts no probolem what so ever, may rev a little high but no probolem in starting. Now when i leave work to come home or when the engine is cold but warm (like when the engine has been running but not for a couple of hours) it struggels to start properly. It will start but the revs will be very low and the engine will realy ruff. Almost as if you could hear each cylinder going off one at a time, it will pick its self up after a few seconds. Then it may run fine or it will rev high ( around 2K ) I've all ready cleaned the ISV Any one got any ideas as to what could be causing it :shrug: :confused4:

Nice car. Where you bassed mate? as one of the guys I work with son has just brought a (his words) "dark coloured corrado" and I pointed him in the direction of the forum 8)

Here are the pics as promised to start with the inside of the manifold and after a good clean also my little helper hard at work

haha most probably :D

No worrys Well I've all ready given it a clean with carb cleaner

Cleaned mine today, was rather dirty one side but clean the other. Had a bit of trouble undoing the 4 bolts they did start to round off but a few light taps with a hammer on the alan key sorted that out :D Gave it a good old clean and put it all back on then went for a spin It hasnt curred the problem but the car feels more urgent when i put my foot down, also when the revs do decide to drop down when i engage the cluth it happens alot quicker. The how to guide was very helpfull, so much easyer when you have pics to help you out. Especialy when you know hardly anything about the engine bay :D Have a few pics I will upload later when i get the time :salute:

:lol: :lol: Well I knew I was preaty much running on fumes but thought I had enough to get back to my house and the petrol station just up the road, I gess not tho :D

Popped into the pet shop to get some stuff for my chinchillas then I came back to find this parked next to me It was a 2.0 TSI and look nice :D Also 5 mins later this happend, probably a usal sight for a rado I ran out of petrol :epicfail:

Nice one :D

Thanks, I cant wait :D :lol: I'm shore I can imagine :D

Car went over 85K miles yesterday Altho putting the miles on her is great fun I wish I wasnt putting so many on tho :( O dear I've started calling the car a her, :D :epicfail: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the info guys I will see what products I can get my hands on come pay day :D As for a cover as much as I would like the bets out there I cant realy justify buying it, if I'm only going to use it once a year, but if one comes up cheaply I will snap it up thats for shre :D 8)

I will be giving my throttle body a clean this weekend then to see if it works :D

Nice colour 8) :D

Any one???? Befor I go to bed :(

That sucks man, but like The_Dude said could have been alot worse, might have gone straight through the front grill and destroyed you rad or god knows what els :(

Defo a nice car looked amazing on sat :D You wasnt lieing about the waste gate blowing straight down, looked like a hover craft when you left 8) :lol:

No worrys the reason the corrado manual doesnt cover the 9a engine is because the US never got that version of the car but they got the passat :shrug: o well Good luck with your rebuild :grin:

The only thing i can suggest is to get your hands on bentley repair manual for a passat. Sounds strange I know but the bentley manual for the corrado doesnt cover the 9a engine. The passat has the same 2lt 16v 9a engine in it and is preaty usfull with all the torque settings This is it on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Volkswagen-Passat-Service-Manual-1990-1993/dp/0837603781/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254677790&sr=8-2

is the blue klip the one to the far right of the lower part of the inlet manifold? where the 5th fuel line goes too. :confused4: As I will give it a go in the morning, at 5.30 I think the engine will be cold enough :lol: :D

ok so This is a link to the products I'm going to get ( halfords and my local car shop will be happy once I leave thats for shore :lol: ) Clay and Detailer http://www.autoglym.com/engb/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=EIEL&Range=1 Meguiars deep clean http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_199031_langId_-1_categoryId_165527 Sealant and wax http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/collinite-476s-carlack-kit/prod_408.html Got the polish and plenty of polish cloths and to dry http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_199187_langId_-1_categoryId_165609#dtab Sound about right :D I dont have two buckets but I find getting the hose pipe on jet and spraying the mitt on the inside whilst rubbing off the dirt (sound a bit dirty that :lol: ) gives a good result

Right ok thanks for that so wash and dry then clay bar then rinse and dry again????

As I'm going on holiday in about two weeks I'm planning on giving my car one hell of a wash, wax, polish, T-cut, paint sealant, clay bar ( I think thats every thing) ready for the winter. Just wondering what order I should do things in and if I've got every thing correct The obvious first give it a wash and then chamois dry, then Clay bar??? followed by T-cut???? followed by Autoglym super resin polish, then Carlack 68 (sealant) and finaly Collinite 476s???? Is that the right order to do things in and am I just repeating myself on any of them?? Link to the Carlack 68 + Collinite 476 kit http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/complete-detailing-kits/collinite-476s-carlack-kit/prod_408.html Also going to get a cover for the car whilst I'm away :D Thanks 8)

Car looked good yesterday Tom. I loved the black rims :D
