nmahi 0 Posted December 23, 2008 easy fix - its not the ISV mate, take the throttle body off and clean it out (brake cleaner) clean the butterfly carefully take your time. clean both inner and outer sides then use WD40 and work the butterfly so it moves freely. also WD40 the cable holder....work this also....then refit.....and it should fly...... i had the same problem with mine, soon as i cleaned it out.......it was like a rocket.....moving freely...you got to realize 17years of dirt, things will jam up. lets us know how you get on. bob Dam you no your stuff thank you very much i will give that a go! Think i can manage that! Not 2 good under the bonnet!lol any problems let me know,or i can do a write up (step up step) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carpoid 0 Posted December 25, 2008 Nice one Dan it looks good, nice and standard but a bit lower, looks good. You gonna bring this one over here with you then ?!! I heard that red ones are a bit faster than other colours, they send the engine off to be specially tuned like a Ford Cosworth and Merc AMG. Is it quicker than your blue one? Nice Metro too, is that Pauls !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
