Hi all please help getting codes from paper clip test of 0100 0110 engine reving high and surging, just done head gasket, cleaned all breathers ect, and car getting hot ie fan kicking in every 5 mins just took off expantion cap no pressure but coolant overflowed after a minuite or so just letting it cool down now, maybe just an air lock any ideas lads
Hi all, Please help over the last 4 weeks the mig seems to be getting worse,from cold start up its like its only firing on three pistons,and it sounds very hollow through the air filter box then all of a sudden after about 30 secs the hollow noise stops then its back to running normal, and also noticed the last 4 weeks that the tick over has become very low it normally ticks over at about 900 rpm but it has dropped to about 700 rpm any ideas please, thanks Tim p.s no codes on paper clip test
Hi, Yes i did everything you guys sugested changed spark plugs, cleaned out the breathers, i even put in some wyns pre Mot emissions cleaner,when i took it back for mot it failed again at about the same readings as before which led me to believe it was either the cat or the lambda, thanks to you all for helping me out, the car is running much better now Tim
Thanks alot guys will get on it in the morning ive got ten days for a free re test,i think im going to change the plugs and clean out the breathers not done them for a while. do i give it the (italian tune up) just before i take it back for re test ? Thanks again Tim
