ok today my replacement odds and sods came for this, new throttle body, air filter and sensor.
Then i put the power on, today i wanted to make progress and push forwards instead of backwards.
My dad came out and gave me a helping hand, looking for a few things for me, We had this thing running for nearly 3 hours! after fixing a few leaks on the water elbow side. The system is now bleed up, took 3 hours to do.
The Hunting is still there when the car warms up, We are starting to think there is a sensor or an issue with the ECU,
This engine was never really had a perfect idle even after it was setup. Which i did question that, but I was told that these are not good idlers anyway. But after seen a few posh rover vvcs at mg live, their engines idled very sweet compared to this engine.
So after i unplugged the Throttle Potentiometer and took it for a drive, it was a different car! so i took it for some fuel and a little run to see if everything was ok, get the brakes cleaned up and the suspension settled again.
I started to smile again when i was driving it, so looks like i may have started to like the car again. But we will have to wait and see. My dad is getting pissed with it too, but after the fan system kicked in we are more happier than before.
we are further on now which is a massive bonus. Also i fixed another sensor connector too so that's all 100%
Still not there yet but there is some light now, just need to look at this odd tick over its getting.
So stay with me on this one.
