Re: No hot/cold air

I would still be inclined to backflush the heater matrix. It can get air locked on a 2ltr even though logic says its not not the heater.

Re: High rpm idle, and bogging out

I wouldnt. I was always able to take out the 4 screws holding the waxstat valve cover on with the body in situ. My memory is hazy as I havent don this in years but from memory engine coolant flows past a wax operated piston that in turn regulates the tickover air volume. This whole mechanism gets cl...

Re: High rpm idle, and bogging out

Sounds like coking up of the thermoststic throttle control valve if its a 16v.

Very, very carefully take it apart and clean it (in situ). Watch out for the spring.

It was a regular 2 - 3 year job on the Flying Machine.

Make sure your water level is correct and check that first.

Re: No start

Will do Bob,got a dissy coming and new key coming got a new cps here as well so once all here i will work my way through it all You'll sort it Kev - never in doubt. Thinking about it, I suppose if the fault was with the Dizzy TDC, you might get a different result. The ECU might allow a start courte...

Re: No start

Cant help over the key issue but I can say that mine is a Temic reg 1997 and it very definitely would not start with a faulty CPS. It will run on the TDC signal from the dizzy without the CPS but needs the CPS when starting to identify the position of the crank and I presume, to tell the ECU that th...

Re: No start

You've got me racking my brains now for the checks I did and I'm pretty sure I too had no fuel even though the trip was set and I changed the pump relay, so my recollection was that I similarly had no signal to pump fuel from the ecu and that sort of makes sense if you know (ecu) that you're noy goi...

Re: No start

Running normally when it stopped, now wont start! Classic CPS and the only circumstances under which this can happen if no other problem has come along during the non running period. AS you are all bored of hearing, mine was the lead cut through by the pulley but any disruption to that circuit has t...

Re: Gear change

Thanks everyone. Seems to have been a lot of interest in the topic, so I hope everyones contribution has been helpful to anyone with similar symptoms. We now know what to check first. I would add to check the small buhes of the UJ (stalk end from memory) if you have got sloppy gear selection. I fixe...

Re: Gear change

Good news, the new oil and UJ service seems to have done the trick. Gear changing is very much easier and smoother. I cant tell you which had more impact, but previously there were two notches and occasional clunking when changing gear, now there only seems to be one. I havnt tried a racing change y...

VSS the unit that creates the pulse that goes to the cruise control and speedometer.
Easy to swap over , when the gearbox is out.
