Re: [doc] re idle problems

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi
thanx for the help all.
it does help loads to test the individual items off the car, so that 
you can easily eliminate potential failed components.

the co adjustment idea would be after i've tested other things and i 
would mark the position, turn half one way/other way.

it has been previously adjusted because the original seal has been 
drilled out. (now capped). so someone has been tinkering somewhere.

i enjoy working on the car including problem solving, all part of 
ownership of these. 
my gut feeling now is the idle system, as the injectors spray, it 
will run at 1800rpm with some coaxing.
my other one i will take off is the cold start valve.
also wondered if this was working fully or could be leaking more 
fuel into the system.
ive fitted a new cpr, new cap, rotor arm, plugs, soaked plunger in 
acetone, new o rings, checked injectors (all seemed fine with good 
spray).

might have to put on hold for a week or two with cristmas and our 20 
month old son jack to look after. take him to see santa in the 
morning!!!.

Regards all
