how to explain this now:

 

looking into the engine bay from the front, on the left hand side , mounted on the inside arch is a small black plastic box looking thing with a hose running from it:

 

A: What is it ?

 

B: is it supposed to rattle and sound like there's a loose spring in it when you tap on it lightly ?

 

:)

A. Sounds like your describing the boost sensor mate.

 

B. don't know the answer to that one.

It's a meat popsicle.

That really wouldn't taste nice!

lol

 

I didn´t think i had explained it very well ....the "box" isn´t exactly square either..looks like a mixture of a square and a circle ..on it´s side with a pipe or what looks like a clutch cable off a motorbike ( looking) coming from the centre of it leading over the left handside of the engine and dissapearing under the throttle cover ( thing with 300zx on it )

 

is that any better ?

 

just trying to figure out if it´s supposed to rattle like it´s broken.

 

cheers

 

:)

Is your boost guage working ?

yep..works perfectly mate .

which bit is it ??

 

That sounds like the vacuum actuator unit for the cruise control to me. Is your cruise control working properly?

 

Dave

Yep, sounds like cruise control to me

crotchrocket.....see the left plenium...there´s a cable going over it ( just above the twin turbo badge)into that upright on it´s side standing roundish square thing...that´s it

 

no idea Dave,,that´s something i haven´t used in a long while but i´ll give it a go

 

have to scoot off back to work now so i can give it a try.

yep, cruise control.

ah..okay, cruise control is working fine so I guess it´s supposed to rattle and sound broken.

 

much appreciated, cheers for that guys
