Did it flash? It can flash a certain amount of times to tell you of a gearbox problem iirc.

I think i remember seeing a Haynes manual.

I would start by cleaning the connectors on the idle control unit first.

240 to a tank for short trips but long hauls on the motorway you could be in the mid 300's.

House is a great series, cant wait for some new ones.

Clean up all these connectors, they control your idle in various ways.

Try MJP Eastern Auto in the traders section, very helpful trader.

Bumpety bump, i need help.

Its at the back of the engine on the right .

Any help much appreciated. ABS light came on, topped up fluid and checked fuses, no difference. Carried out ABS diagnostic which came up as two flashes. Checked the resistance between appropriate terminals, resistance ok, diagnostic says replace control unit. Sourced a seconhand control unit and still getting two flashes. What have i overlooked? anyone else had this? any basic checks that might solve this? etc. Thanks David

;) Bottom one, or are my eyes playing tricks on me? ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Incase you need a picture.

Check the traders section for garages

Yup

I'd try the following as an option, http://home.swipnet.se/e-solutions/IdleTech.html even if you just clean the connectors and check for air leaks you may solve it.

I'd go with five and a half seconds for a twin turbo as your average.

This might give you a start. http://www.ttzd.com/tech/60ktech.html

Is that the full manual or a supplement/update?

I'm not normally a purple fan but i do like this car.

I'll give them a try, thanks david

They are on my to do list, maybe even tonight, do you think they would affect it every fifteen seconds?

I have had a problem with my idle which i have nearly fixed. For a while i had to keep my foot on the gas at idle as it was threatening to die on me. I removed the idle air adjusting unit, gave it a we clean inside and cleaned up the connectors. I know have my cold start mechanism and air conditioning compensator back working fine. The problem is my idle wanders every fifteen seconds for five seconds. So, in other words, for fifteen seconds its pretty smooth at 800rpm then it drops for five seconds to between 6-700rpm. I have the TPS set correctly, no faults showing on ECU? Any ideas, what have i over looked? Cheers David

Autos aint slow, 4.9sec 0-60 from a 1990 with only exhaust, filter and chip. No boost increase.

Mind the ECU
