Title: Broken Pipe
Post by: deejaywardy on 12 January 2010, 15:43:06

ive just been out to my car and fitted the new SWITCHOVER SOLENOID VALVE and have noticed that an inlet manifold pipe is split all the way round PIC BELOW so this is another reason its not running so good at the moment im guessing ?

Any one will fit off a 2.6, 3.2 or a post 98 3.0.

This will cause awful running as it will let un-metered air in.

Plenty of people in the parts section who will have one (loo knee is breaking a 3.0)

could it also cause the car to missfire and shut 2 cylinders down ?

If you've got a bit of gaffer tape to temporarily 'fix' the leak, you'll find out.  :)

I was beaten to the Gaffer tape idea, even clingfilm would do to see if it made a difference.
