Marshall936 0 Posted March 20, 2011 When i start the valver it revs up to 2,000 revs and then drops down and cuts out? was working fine a week ago and the only thing i can think of is that i unplugged a hose to move the airbox and forgot to reattach it before starting the car. (its reattached now but now the above problem occurs...) pic of hose attached. Any help appreciated. thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
v8rumbler 0 Posted March 20, 2011 That is just a breather tube. Take it off again and check it isn't blocked somehow! Sent from iPhone 4 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshall936 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Taken the breather tube off and given it a good clean, tried to start it and it still died...no idea what to do now can anyone help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted March 21, 2011 have you disconnected another vacuum hose (by accident) or something in the process? sounds like you have a lot of unmetered air getting into the inlet after the metering head/airflow plate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted March 21, 2011 There's a short fat link hose underneath the main intake pipe that can be easily dislodged as it's not secured by clips. Would cause your symptoms if it's been dislodged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
