Just a quick note for anyone who's been following my "something wrong..." thread over the previous weeks:

 

Thanks to the masterful yet modest hands of Vijay, my current troubles are over! After cleaning the coil packs and anything that looked remotely like an electrical connector my hesi/misfire/rough idle are gone - this is the job a main dealer was asking £900 quid for... :O

 

Many thanks too to Maciej and Henri who also diag'd the problem, and to Andy, Danny, Aaron, Timmy T and all you other fine gents who offered info and suggestions. This place makes me feel all warm and fuzzy sometimes

 

One final puzzler: after sorting out the contacts, Vijay kindly did the throttle bodies for me, and we also tightened up a bit of slack in my throttle cable. Taking the car out for a spin later, the first time the revs reached about 4500, they stayed there...! Car wouldn't return to idle. The movement of the throttle cable and its assembly was normal. After killing the engine and starting back up again, no problem; so far it hasn't recurred. Anyone want to take a stab at that?? =)

 

Cheers,

Raz

Sounds like some crap may have got washed back into your idle valve. Try removing the hoses to it and squirting throttle body cleaner in - you may also need to reset your idle after this....

I did this this weekend and its not easy removing the parts with so little room but is well worth the effort. Now all I need is my fuel filler neck and I'm sorted

 

CheerZ,

Raz,

glad you had it sorted.

No need for a new CAS and PTU after all...

 

900£ is insane indeed.

DIY is best AND cheapest.
