Will do.Carnt understand why it would be throttle motor at fault, It must be working for it to rev in first place?

Post by: Elite Pete on 27 February 2010, 22:27:46: Hi Manny, did you use genuine O rings, if not try spraying some carb cleaner around the plenum to check for air leaks.

Allright pete. Yes got them from vx.£14. If an air leak why the code for throttle body motor? Took plenum off again to check O rings were seated ok and they looked fine?

Post by: manny on 28 February 2010, 11:31:31: Just thought on. Yesterday put some cleaner that you spray in the air intake when running.I put some down bag pipes and down breather pipes.Could be problem?

Post by: manny on 28 February 2010, 22:48:33: UPDATE. Now running ok and spanner light gone out. Took Multi rams off and cleaned them out. The cleaner i sprayed down them must have got on air intake switch over valve as you could hear engine sounding strange on high tick over. Just goes to show that some codes that get thrown up are not the real problem!!! (1500 and 1523). Do the codes that are stored go on there own or do they need to be cleared by tech 2 ? :y

They clear themselves after a number of good starts if the fault is gone, no need for code reader I believe

They might sit in memory as "pending" items, but as long as the EML light is out they are not "current" items.

Several code readers can clear the memory .. not just a tech2.... :)

Post by: manny on 28 February 2010, 23:07:35: When they have the meetings do people take along there Tech 2 s? Need to get cruise enabled and get codes cleared at same time.

Post by: Entwood on 28 February 2010, 23:10:07: If the owners are at the meets they tend to take the tech2 with them ... :)

Certainly The Lakes and Newent have always had a tech2 there in my experience .. :)
