Lucius started following 2.016v driving me mad!

Do you know of a guide or how to setup the timing? Would be great to have it up and running for the summer! Plenty of events i'd love to take it to! Cheers.

I think it is as well! Just fired it up, no changes, with the blue switch on, now it idles rough, backfires and made the exhaust manifold produce so much heat i could have a bbq off it! With the blue switch connected, no backfire, but refuses to rev at all along with the rough idle! I'm going to swap over all the airbox etc, see if that cures the backfire/rough idle! Is it worth soaking the isv in carb cleaner? Getting to the stage now where i've had enough of this, I love the car, but the amount of money its costing, christ, could have bought an Aston! Anymore advice is appreciated (including burning the car!)

Just remembered and forgot to add to original post, when this switch is connected, and its been started there are some major backfires in the airbox, witht the lid of it constantly exploding (difficult to explain without showing). I see if AVS have 1 in stock. Thanks again.

Any ideas on what to do to resolve this? (Apart from getting the fix-it hammer!) Thanks for the fast response, appreciated.

Hi all, really need some advice on my engine, i've been reading 10000000 threads on similar problems, but cant seem to get those solutions to work on mine. Bit of background history, its a 1992 2.0 16v, and last year it developed a major coolant problem(air constantly in the system), eventually sourced that problem down to a hidden crack in the cylinder head! So i decided to look for a new engine and i sourced one, which had done 124k and came complete with gearbox, and everything needed. I fitted that and now its a complete nightmare to run, it will start and then it wont idle, or sometimes it will idle for about 10 seconds and then just stall. Ive changed the isv, dizzy cap, plugs, ht leads. Funny thing is, when i remove this blue switch at the front (hopefully picture will work), it will be rough, and then idle fine! So please please please corrado gods, help me with this issue as its driving me mad! Thanks for taking the the to read and all advice gratefully appreciated!
