Another Diablo GTI6 project (Now on the road!)

[kentiiboii]

So tuesday didnt go quite to plan, dad wasnt well so I ended up changing icv on my own. Easy enough job but its a big step for me. Although it didnt really cure the idling issue I had.

So instead I thought id leave car running and make sure it gets up to temp and fans kick in correct. However the bottom hose popped off at 85c.
Next day firgued out person before who fitted brandnew radiator and bottom hose didnt fit the clip to hold the hose in place. So thats another job sorted.

After trying to get it up to temp again got to about 90c and the car cut out, followed by loads of smoke from under inlet mani and battery (not good!).

So today stripped manifold of to find why it's shorted out, turns out the little metal plate thats on the starter motor with the live wire running through was fitted wrong so when engine jolted it caught a metal plate and shorted.

So thats been sorted, while I was there we fitted new gasket on manifold. So all done for time being cars running absolutely spot on. :-)
