Had my 91 Z TT for - ooh about 6 days now, a UK supermodel with big curves, 58000 miles, FSH. Dream of 3 years finally come true.

I have a couple of probs I'd like to sort though. First, after a weekend of boosting around on Optimax, it's started to idle around 1800 rpm some of the time - sometimes it doesn't. Previous posts suggest resetting the ECU and cleaning stuff, so I guess this isn't normal. Anythink simple I can try? as I am, when it comes to looking under the bonnet.

Secondly, headlights. Bulbs OK, Fuse OK, but offside headlight, only the 'rectangular' light shines, no round light. On high beam, everything on the offside (except light on bumper) goes out!

Any help appreciated muchly.

First thing i would check for the idle is the throttle position switch, probably dodgy wires. Give it a wiggle. (small black box on top of passengerers side engine.) The wires tend to loop back and break. ;)

 

As for the idle I would probaby guess an earth problem somewhere.:confused:

I thought this rang bells. Have a look here

Thanks - very useful. Will try changing the bulbs before I worry about relays or other bits. Still that's an hour job for me, whilst turning the air blue. Cheers.:)
