Finaly found a tool to get the bloody thing undone LOL.

While I had the battery out, I found that a vaccum pipe had broken off.

 

 

Andy P. You remeber we couldn't get the RMP below 1000 without disconnecting the O2 sensor, it was the same with the new sensor in, but then connecting this pipe back up, adjusting the tps to .40 I managed to get down to 750 rpm. It's a little lumpy at the moment I have reset the ECU so we'll see how it goes in a 100 miles or so.

 

I'll come up this weekend and return your tool (oh-er) and swap those MAS's back over. I think mine is ok apart from the obvious missing mesh.

That's a rusty looking battery tray you have there !

Thats the line to the FPR solenoid - the solenoid simply opens the vac feed to the fuel pressure regulator to atmosphere during starting to increase the fueling.... You will have had a vac leak though with that... Not that it matters what it was - at least you sorted it lol

Well that 'ol battery tray is the original :eek: :p almost 14 years old as well :D. Ok, Ok, I'll get the hammerite out :(.

 

yeah I know what the slight hissing sound by the bettery was now :D. Connected it up with some superglue for now but will replace the part when I go to Andy Z's next if he has one.

Thats just a standard t-piece though! Most local auto factors should stock them ;) Not trying to put andy out of business lol Would just probably cost more in postage than for the part itself.... ;)

 

CheerZ,
