    y is it called a valver??


  2. on my 1.8 16v, theres a screw thing on the side of the throttle body....the engine was lumpy revving up and idled at 1100....ive screwed it in and the lumpy has stopped and and its ideling at just under 1000...

     

     

    whats it for??? also what normal idle speed?? cant find anything on this


  3. cheers guys.....think ill have a look in a scrap yard first as i need the large on on the top next to the distributor, and both top coolant ones...ive took the wiring apart and found its not as bad as it looks, but i would like you guys to have a look before i do anything....

     

    the wiring to the plug on the distributor is a easy fix..ive sorted it....but the wiring from the coil has me stumped....heres a diagram....wires are coloured..the bit on the bottom right are the water sensors.....also i have no oil temp reading on the dash...

  5. found some funky wiring around and to the coil, im guessing its to do with the immobilizer being removed..it goes from the coil to the engine and into the loom..i need to know if i can remove it?? the car runs fine and central locking is fine.....i just dont want the wiring there if it ant needed...

     

    this one has some taped wires..on it a earth to the engine...the others go into the loom but it ant standard

    this one is on the side of the engine, it goes from the loom to a sensor...

  6. That's genius, why didn't I think of that :lol:

     

    what a joke to do that lol..there off

     

    right been having a play...ive put a new battery out of the vec into the C and the battery out the C into the vec...plan is to let the vec charge battery's for me lol....ive been playing around some bits but not touched any wiring......

     

    now when i turn the key..the oil light stays on and the bat light..start her up and all go out..i would of thought the bat light would stay on it it wasnt charging....if i turn all the eletrics on, i can hear strain on the engine, which i assume is the alternator...so its working??? why is it now working???

     

    spoiler.....ive put it up manually and i can put it down via the switch, but it wont go up...is it the switch thats kak???

     

    engine sounds sweet ticking over but lumpy if reved up slowly...
