As well as paperclip test, check that your Throttle Butterflies fully
close, with the linkage against the throttle stop.

Check for full and free movement, and condition, of your throttle
cable.

Check security and condition of your Throttle Position Sensor.

All above checks will cost you nothing, and will rule any simple stuff
out before you have to start digging deeper.

Not done a paper clip test and not sure what the fault code was, only that it was the crank sensor..

What should i check on the throttle sensor ??

 ive had all this lot off and cleaned everything with carb cleaner, thats when it started reving by itself, i put some 3 in one oil on the butterflys afterwards and also in the ICV, ive had the plenum off about 3 time to check everything but its always the same,,just keeps revving

Evening ALL,  Benn having problems with my car for a while, just keeps revving by itself, revs very high on first start up then just revs from around 1000rpm to 2000 rpm and so on, looked for air leaks (all ok) checked idle control valve (ok), so a mate of mine put it on his tech 2 (well think its tech 2) and it cam up with crank sensor, only thing is ive had it on this machine before when my dis pack went but it came up with a different fault..

SO....do any of you guys reckon the symptoms match the fault reading..dont want to start replacing parts that dont need to be replaced.

TIA

But this would not cause your EML to come on

Found out why the eml light was on.....one of he multi ram wires had popped off, there is a strange rev on it though...when starts to get warm it starts revving by itsself upto about 1900rpm then back to 900 checked all wires anpipes & everything seems ok ?

Cheers mark, one thg i did notice was that the pipe leading from the EGR to the exhaust manifold was a little loose and one of the screw holding the egr to the plenum does tighten up properly, would this causny probs ?

i assume you get the card sooner rather than later unlike VXON who dont seem to be very organised.

It seems to take a few days usually...  ...much more professional than VxON

Cheers mate, i'll give them a try, need quite a few parts from vaux so will hang on till it comes thru..

If leak is that major... I would suspect that the coolant transfer pipe may have popped out of the stat!

its only more promenant when i remove the header tank cap which i suppose is removing the vaccum to let the water out..


Where do i get the ABS card from or is it a web site ?

Hi there matey, i have found that it nearly always pays to use gen vx parts and oils but dont lose faith, it will be worth it. PS get yourself a trade club card from ABS. £20 a year and save some money on gen vx parts.

I joined vxon in november last year, you get a halfords trade card and a vauxhall trade card for £15 but they neglected to say they're having difficulty getting the cards of vauxhall...so im waiting impatiently for this ilusive vaux card...

Sounds like the pump has failed big time or the seal[o ring] has gone . either way the pump has to come of to inspect. also check the thermostat housing has not cracked and the leak is not coming from above the pump.

cheers SIR, im bloody sick of stripping this car, only had it 8 months and lost count of the things that have gone wrong with it......

Evening chaps, Replaced my water pump a couple of months ago (non genuine one), noticed this morning i had a leak, so popped the bonnet took off header tank cap then water came flowing out of front around main crank pully, but think its coming from around water pump area,

Do any of you guys reckon its the cheapo water pump or something more serious ?

TIA
