What Is The Grey Box..........

...........At the back of the engine on the drivers side, right in the corner..........

 

I have an odd 'clicking noise' coming from there, which effects the idle........

 

I did notice the noise was there when I pressed the accelerator very slightly and when I let go......

 

....when started up from cold the clicking is intermitent and causes the Z to idle from 1500 then goes down to 1000 as it warms up then it starts to click and causes the idle to go upto 2000rpm until I drive for a bout 2 minutes then it stops, it's driving me mad.......

 

As I said it's coming from the grey box as mentioned OR one of the connectors there........

 

HELP!!

 

Anyone got any idea's???

 

Cheers,

 

Matty.

    :dance:

     

    I now know what it is and from that I am guessing it's upsetting my idle (maybe sticking??) is there anything I can do to fix it or do I need a new one??

    People tend to get rid of them than replace them.
