Thing is TG that's the odd thing. my revs are perfect, it's running great and idling spot on at 600rpm.

i'm going to pop another cable tie over the icv just for extra ''snugness''.

my old plugs were fine. bit of oil on the threads but other than that fine :)

Checka nd double check the DIS pack connections as the plug leads for the 2-4-6 bank are not connected in the order you woudl expect.

Also consider its an ECu controled 6 pot so they will appear to idle okish even with a pot or two at low efficiency

Thanks Mark. I will check those at weekend. I take it is ok to run prior to me checking if a lead has popped out the diss-pac?

I also have taken some photos. If anyone spots anything untoward please do say  :y

The engine...


The ICV. Note the two cable ties on the left to aid it stopping in place. The one that's going across and over the cabletray screw is the one Daz put in and the second one round the back of the jubilee clip is one i popped on couple minutes ago...




Thr brittle clip that a bit broke off...still attached though


This is a pic from behind the ICV. The screw I couldn't get back in is wedged there but unscrewed to plenum. as said just couldnt get the bugger in but icv ''well attached'' even without it...


Managed to also get the icv wiring at the back, back into it's black and green caple pipe plastic...

in pic 4, reatach that clip to the brake servo vac pipe, or you will have a hole in it in no time!

Cheers Albs! I've popped the brake servo pipe back in to the clip as Jimbob says (pic 4).

It's not misfiring, in fact it's really noticably more powerful, is idling perfect and (touch wood) no more bangs!!!! i'm wondering if it was a backfire?

Going to see how it goes and if it does it again I'll check the diss-pac. Don't really see the need to check the diss-pac if it's not misfiring. but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks for all your help guys  :y :y :y :y

Feel free to pop it over in daylight, we'll clear out the codes you put in, and see if everything is sound.
