odd idle

odd idle
just had a look at it didnt try the foot trick but i fiddled about with the coil packs and injector connections, i think its a misfire poor connection on one of the injectors. sounds a bit like a scooby at times, give ita wiggle sounds better, then worse etc. gonna run codes and clean the injector connections.

odd idle
when my car is warm the idle is a little odd, it sits at a proper 1000rpm then drop down to 500rpm for a second then pop back up then not do it for 20 seconds or so then do it again. this has only started happening since i fitted a new oil cooler and bunged up a few leaks in the exhaust. any ideas what this is ive had a quick search and im thinking maybe its a bad connection to the idle control valve?

-
get rid of my viscous
agreed hence the reason most modern cars have this set up, but unfortuntly i dont think people research properly as you say and it ends up pretty expensive, although saying that the new fan clutch from nissan is a rip
-
get rid of my viscous
seconded take a quick look, people have had some very poor results swapping over to eletric fan. if done right its very efficent but its big bucks to do properly.

-
kaminari spoiler
i have to agree, its nota supra so why try to make it look like one. :/ i like the standard one but ive got one of those persex rear pannels and dont wanna lose it.
-
bonnet vent
the subtle jag style vents look ok. there not overpowering or too intrusive. although it seems a shame to ruin the subtle lines on a zed bonnet with vents in it. nota fan of the huge budges and holes. too ricer, to civic. but each to there own hey. car.mad didnt you have running issues from a missing rubber at the back of the engine bay? couldnt this sorta venting cause the same issues with water getting in??
-
kaminari spoiler
anyone seen a kaminari rear spoiler in real life and any opinions on them? also where could i get one? im looking to put a spoiler on my zed as it didnt have one when i brought it. ive gota high level one in the garage that needs painting but ive kinda gone off it prefer the standardish look
