hi everyone in the last two days i have stripped back the top end and checked the variable camshaft timing and its spot on, so not sure what the rattle is at 2500 RPM when in park at top end, sounds fine when driving and loads of power, today for example driving at say 30 mph at say 2000 RPM
pushed hard down for kick down and went to 6000 RPM AND TO 80 MPH IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS, so performance is great and no rattles or pinking so i may leave well alone,
still having problems with idle though, today i have reallised it is electrical and not mechanical I THINK ? went out for a drive and everytime i stopped idle very rough and stall, carried on and done some shopping and left it an hour
when i restarted her the same thing rough idle, then from no where she purred fine at 650 RPM, temps reading about 85-90, on the way home stopped six times and just sat at 650 RPM no problems, i removed one of the pipes from the e g r valve while on idle and it was like a ticking and pulsing feeling which i understand is right, then it stopped for a while after i tapped it and removed the plug and refitted it, it started ticking again, Q, when should this work and for how long,
in the last 2 weeks i have replaced,
lambda sensor as it was showing fault codes 9 / 10 / 13, on blink tester
new battery as mine just died while parked for a week,
spark plugs to bosch super plus, as was running on NGK but looked fine when removed,
in the last year only done 4000 miles, but before this she had,
all new,
o.v.p.r,
wiring loome,
air mass sensor bosch one,
air temp sensor,
temp sensor, the one for ECU when cold start and for running when warm,
charcoal canister,
when i carry out blink test im still getting 4 blinks / air mass,? is it possible that this code is just set and can`t be removed with the blink test, or has it gone again or may be a fault with the ECU, but would the air mass cause rough idle, is there any way of testing these, tried running disconnected no differance ,when reconnected while running she died,
the other Q, i noticed on my old throttle body there is a micro switch when its on idle its closed and when you open the throttle it clicks and opens what does this do ?
any help with this would be much appreiated as at the moment im a bit conffused
im not sure if its ( air mass / ovpr / egr valve / or somthing else,
can anyone help please, thanks
