Stupidly high idle on the vlaver (2-3k) - Page 2 - Retro-Renault

**Chris H** · 31st October 2006, 01:59 PM

the gauges are nto much use.

If its hot idle then it can be at the bottom of the gauge.

ahh right I see, ok well it's sat a bit below 3 at normal temp and goes up slightly when i rev it.

It's just acting strangely though, It stays at 2.5-3k when I start it unless I blip the throttle a bit (it lowers it's self each time i blip).

Then i bliped it at one point and it stayed on 3k and I had to turn it off then on again?

Do you think it's worth giving this TB a good scrub? If i take it off will i need a new gasket or anything?

Also the ISCV, do i need to loosen that bolt that's arrowed on the pic or is it just held with the pipes? Look how close the front panel is to it where it's been pushed back, that's going to be a pain in the arse to remove

JB · 1st November 2006, 10:16 AM

state on that...wouldn't be surprised if it was unable to close properly due to crap.

amdaman · 1st November 2006, 10:28 AM

hahahha

**Chris H** · 1st November 2006, 10:33 AM

amdaman · 1st November 2006, 03:45 PM

Factory clean

Borked wire... wonder what that's for.

Speaks for it's self

**Chris H** · 1st November 2006, 04:48 PM

carb cleaner for the icv and tb.

repair the wire last pic what am i lookign at?

also did you remove the air inlet temp sende ront eh manifold? clean that with carb cleaner as welll

Pete · 1st November 2006, 04:49 PM

Get some carb cleaner in both sides of that TB and give it a proper clean out. The ICV doesnt look very healthy either, caked in crap. Spray some carb cleaner in there or like I do get some kitchen roll, wrap it round ure little finger and carb cleaner in the ICV and on the roll.

amdaman · 1st November 2006, 04:54 PM

In the last pic does that hose look like it's connected right to you?

Also i'm not sure what the air inlet temp sender is ha ha so you might have to point that one out on a pic.

What should I do about the crap in the mainfold it's self? And do I need a new gasket for the TB when i put it back?

thanks.

**Chris H** · 1st November 2006, 05:20 PM

well theres light going into the manifold,. so you have removed somethign at the belt end of it. if its not the sensor then its the core plug!

hose is fine.

crap in the inlets not going anywhere.

amdaman · 1st November 2006, 05:27 PM

not sure what i've done, i did have the flash on in that pic though.. Here's a pic of what i've done;

**Chris H** · 1st November 2006, 05:33 PM

yeah flash cause dit, I'm a mong. I blame the drugs I got for my tooth!

amdaman · 1st November 2006, 05:37 PM

haha ok dude. Oh about the TB, can you file the bits down on the butterfly to improve flow? Or is that pointless on this car?

**Chris H** · 1st November 2006, 05:49 PM

you'll bugger it, leave it alone.

amdaman · 1st November 2006, 05:58 PM

hahaa probably true, I did it on the mini seemed ok but never had it tested.

amdaman · 2nd November 2006, 03:27 PM

Thewre we go, pretty clean now

Can see the numbers on th the TB plates

Check out the blood blister from when I did the shocks the other day.. nice!

That was the best I could get the ICSV but it spins so much easier now though!
