sarjo Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Can anybody please tell me where this is? http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/13308285424.jpg&s=f5 I'm still having stalling issues with my car and have been told that a sticky valve might be the problem. Not really sure what I'm looking for, yet alone where to find it!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Jo, I've just got back from having mine done. Touch wood it has been fine so far. I'm pretty sure the idle has risen by a small amount which is nice. One to to look for is the little flapper valve. We took the ICV off and cleaned it and inside the (I'm gonna get ribbed for this) long silver thing with ECTS on it was a little flapper valve. The rubber valve bit has a lot of gunk under it which we cleaned off too. Don't know if you've done yours. Might be something to check if not.

Havent been out in her since so dont know if its made any difference. I hope it does As for your technical knowledge and explanation that really helps alot Do you mean the long silver thing that the rubber hose attaches to?

RedM Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Been out a bit today and it hasn't actually made that much difference. She still drop revs, just not as low. Also had my plugs replaced and she seems a bit rough on idle. Bloody cars. ..and yeah, the thing with the hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarjo Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 Red I'm sorry to hear that. I'm on a long drive tomorrow so will let you know what happens to mine. Are you still stalling or just having idle probs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 O2 sensor maybe, although I've been told that it'd run really bad if that was at fault and she's smooth on the move at the moment. She's getting dyno'ed in a few weeks. I'll see what they say about her then. How does your car feel when at rest with the engine just ticking over? Mine feels lumpy but not severely. The car does a little wobble every so often. Does your feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problems are when I start slowing down to approach a junction or in v slow moving traffic, she just loses all revs and dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
