hi
the eml light comes on after a couple of minutes then stays on, but drives fine with it on, drives rough when its not on.
exhaust does seem loud but we checked it on the ramp at work last week and it wasnt blowing anywhere. the cat seemed really noisy, like raspy/tinny noise. kinda gets louder when revved .it is new though, could it be knackered ? should it not make a noise, could this be my prob if its broken up inside ?

hi
it has all the symptoms of dirty iacv but i cleaned this. how come it drives ok once eml light comes on? dosent want to stall then ? dosent hold back? would the 02 sensor give these probs ?
is it worth replacing the iacv ? suppose it would be a good place to start. how much are they and from where is best to buy ?
thanks

« on: 17 September 2008, 18:53:10 »
did you clean the metal pipe that runs down the side of the block ? passenger side rear as you look at the lump. mine was solid. also worth taking your sump off and cleaning the pick up pipe. again mine was solid, soaked it in thinners over night and it came up like new.
