g60pops 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Just changed the camshaft, intermediate shaft and crankshaft oil seals aswell as the timing belt,timing belt tensioner,ribbed belt and crankshaft bolt. I marked all the pulleys with tipex before i took them off. Now the car is hesitant in 3rd,4th and 5th gears, it seems to hold back and then it goes. Also the idle fluctuates between 800 and 900 rpm,rather than idling at 9000rpm like how it was before i carried out the work. Help, what have i done wrong??

24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Sounds like there is a leak in the pipe that runs from the throttle body to the ECU. If this leaks (even a tiny one) it will run really hesitant until the revs get up. Check its not fraying and split just behind the throttle body, if it is cut the tired bit off re-attach it and take it for a run, if its OK replace the whole pipe as it has to be exactly 1m long and if its not will never be perfect. Give it a go, hope it helps Regards J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
