Alright folks, had my zed for about a month and here it is. And you've probably guessed its an idle proble. I have done a search and read loads of old threads.

 

It started with what i thought was a tiny rattle but with the bonnet open it appears to be coming from the engine bay closest to the driver next to the brake servo whatsit. It will click very rapidly and the revs will rise then the clicking stops and the revs fall again.

From what i can gather it probably the idle control valve but i was under the impression that was on the passenger side?

 

Also, for those guys from my neck of the woods where do you take your z when its poorly? I seem to remember there is a place in hayle, the nissan hut? are they reasonable/any good?

 

Thanks.

hey fella, im in penzance myself, idle control valve is on the other side of the engine bay, richard bros will work on these in redruth but i do most of the work myself, planning on a engine rebuild soon which will be fun

when you around mate? DONT GO TO THE NISSAN HUT!

 

dan.:)

Will keep an eye on this as i experienced the same 'ticking' noise and irratic idle a few weeks ago, but it never did it again.

Right, no nissan hut.;)

 

Ive been to richards bros afew times, they know what they doing but you get some pretty amazing bills from them:(

 

I found the idle controll valve eventually but the clicking noise is coming from right next to the brake servo, im wondering if its a loose connection or even if its related atall. Im just loafing about today not doing much, if one of you guys has got 5 mins to take a look that would be great(assuming it still drives ok).

where you too? Im in hayle and free until 12 grand prix!

 

dan.:D

I could come over there dan, i want to see if its going to drive ok anyway, just say where and when.

Do the aiv or egr solenoids make that kinda noise? thats the only thing i can think of thats next to the brake servo?

if you do go to dan , check the tps to make sure its not right on the point of hard idle cut on /off

could be, they do make a weird noise sometimes

Well none the wiser at the moment but it did seem to sort itself out after afew miles. I dont think ill worry about it unless it causes a problem.

 

Thanks to dan for hooking it up to the laptop and adjusting the tps slightly it appears to have a clean bill of health:hyper:

 

Good stuff, nice day for petrol burning i rekon.

no strange noises when had a look and ticked over with no probs, code 55, good see you mate try and make it to the next local meet.
