Ok, so its ok to just disconnect the battery for half an hour? Mine was removed for most of the day on saturday, plus it had gone flat anyway. Should I do anything new to the TPS? Kev you're right hter are various codes etc and a procedure to reset it, i think its somewhere here in the forum. I've got a copy at home but am a bit wary of changing any settings, unless anyone has some good tips. Dr Mat?

Just a thought Kev whilst you mention chucking some Slick 50 in jest (er who would really use that on anything apart from v low temp applications anyway?), i have a non-ptfe based lube (which i used to supply some years back) which doesnt clog up even at temperature. Maybe a squirt of that might help? Certainly makes contact surface super smooth and last absolutely ages.

Yeah I armed myself with some carb cleaner and "3-in-1 with PTFE" spray today to do my ISV tonight. Having looked inside the ISV everytime I clean it it's not hard to see why they jam up. There's always loads of scoring marks on the valve. I'm thinking about flattening it off with a dremel or something as it clearly binds when hot.

 

I'll try the PTFE in the meantime though..... Your spray sounds interesting though! Give it a try, it won't hurt....

I wouldn't recommend messing with the adaptation settings now that you've lost them. Just let it re-adapt. That's better than messing it up..
