just got a ZX and having problems, help!
sounds like the maf(AFM). Remove the nose panel (between the headlights (2 bolts)) you'll see a big Y-piece of rubber with a plastic tube and and a connector going to it. if you remove that and dry it out and clean connectors and see how you go. alternatively (just to prove it) - disconnect it and car will run fine up to 2500rpm You may have an aftermarket air filter and no splash guard so filter and maf got wet.

Setting the base idle and TPS voltage
if you havent got conzult how/whereabouts do you disconnect the AIV? Ive just set my TPS right and want to set the base idle. I presume I need to unplug the fly lead of the TPS and adjust the screw on the aiv. However just not sure where the plug for the aiv is and what the hard idle bits about.

Cleaning MAF/AFM
Does spraying the hotwire in the MAF with alcohol or carb cleaner actually make a difference? Anyone done it and noticed more power?

Removing Exhaust Cats
are the decats just a straight bit of pipe? I ask because I paid a local exhaust company on my old zed to remove the cats. They charged me £60 and gave me back the cats - They just replaced with straight bit of pipe. Is this all it is?

TPS Set up
Therefore: 1.Disconnect the base idle valve. 2.Set the base idle around 750rpm. 3.Set the TPS. 4.Disconnect the TPS for a while or disconnect the battery for 1 hour. Is the base idle valve the big grey plug that comes off the TPS? Also do you disconnect the tps when setting base idle?

bottoming out
Found out whats wrong :) Its bottoming out on the original rear arch. I thought these should be cut away??? - will check drivers side later today when light but the original arch has all paintwork rubbed off where its rubbed. If thats the case can i Just cut rear arch myself and paint with summit like hammerite to stop it rusting or is it a bodyshop job.

High temp electrical contact grease
Been trying to get some for my connectors i.e. water temp sender, coilpacks, battery etc. Been told by 2 local motorfactors to just use normal copperslip grease. Is this any good for electrical contacts??? Or should I just wait and get some proper electrical contact grease.

Hi mate, when you had Martins car and pulled the engine you done a water bypass. Do you remember (long time back) if you removed/bypassed the EGR too. Just thinking of doing it and not sure exactly where it is but some say when water bypass are done the egr sometimes is too. Cheers
