Okay sorted o ring now the ****ing thing runs but was idling at 2000rpm, so i took off ISCV and cleaned it again, put it back on and now i start it, revs go straight to 4000 and keep climbing but i turn it off stright away like cuz dont wanna **** it.

it will be the tps, taking it off in the first place is asking for tourble if you dont know how to re-set it i'm afraid mate :cry:

[Lunner]

try re calibrating everything beofre ordering new parts

[VIPERONE]

have u fiddled with the tps?

[Rich]

yes he took it off

[VIPERONE]

LOL

aye get tb with it pre set. lol

[Coops]

i've tried all the positions it can go in tho and it aint makin a spot of difference moving it, revs drop if u move it quickly but then rise again, and that was b4 it went up to 4000rpm and now i darent even turn the fooker on!

can the postion sensor really make it do that? like said n all, messed with the ISCV and that raised revs, never touched the potentiometer at that point!!

i now know how to set up potentiometer but with it revving that hi i cant leave the engine on long enough to sort it

so new TB??i'll get a ISCV n all while am at it

[VIPERONE]

can you make it stall by blocking the iscv pipe with your finger/thumb?

Was the idle ok before the conversion?

when you start it does it idle high straight away?

Have you reconnected the speedo cable sensor in dash?

have you earthed it?

mines is doing same thing... i think its the speedo cable... i stupidly wired the ignition pulse through the speedo cable earth..lol. next time i will use a light.

on start up it idles at 1.5k+

[Coops]

dunno mate, like i said am scared shitless of leavin it runnin for fear of ****in summit! no way am i lettin it run above 3k rpm for even a second after i just spent 2 months rebuildin it!

[VIPERONE]

pull the iscv pip off the air box and put you finger over it...

the car should stall if it is working correctly.

[Coops]

i'll go give it a waz now matey!

[mattyc]

probabaly not relevent but on my old 1.2 i was screwing around with the airbox sensor because i had a dodgy idle and when i reconnected it it just kept reving and reving and getting higher and higher, so in the end i just disconnected the battery for 20mins, plugged it back in and it all worked fine

[Coops]

tbh mate am willin try nething, am going for a mess about now, if no joy then battery inplug it is!!!
8)

[Coops]

got the idle back down to bout 13-14 hundred but still well high n noticing few wierd noises n all that am not sure about! damn it just goes on and on!!

got my dads mate whos a mechanic comin over tomos nite i hope to check it over neway so shud b okay this time tomos, fingers crossed!!!

sorry for the randomly pissed off and pointless posting today people, was just seein thru red mist! :shock:

tps won't be causing the problem.

tap the icv body with a screwdriver whilst its running and see if it drops it down.
