Help please - connorp - 25-08-2015
I turned on my 1.8 xs on and didn't hold the key for long enough and the car tried to start but spluttered and cut out, I turned it on straight afterwards and it just revs to the red line!! Any ideas?

Very odd, accelerator cable hasn't got snagged has it?
Help please - connorp - 26-08-2015
Nope, I've tried pulling in from the engine bay and it and that didn't make any difference, but I haven't had the car on for more than a few seconds because I don't want to ruin the engine
RE: Help please - Toms306 - 26-08-2015
Is it actually the redline or just high revs? If its like 3k I'd let it run and burn off the excess fuel from the non start. I probably wouldn't risk it if its actually redlining though.
You could pop the spark plugs out and let it evaporate out.
Only other thing it could be is the ICV, if it was fine before just let it run and it should settle.

check or your inlet manifold hose's sounds like you may have an air leak if the butterfly is closed

I'll I've them a try, I'll let you know what it revs to as well
Yeah it does rev all the way to the redline and the butterfly(I'm guessing that's the bit that opens ad closes on the intake) is closed
I know what it is!!!!! The resonator bung has disappeared

Help please - connorp - 27-08-2015
