High idle after removing part of inlet!?

Post by caldridge7 »

Hey guys,

Basically i decided to take of the part of the inlet to clean the four butterflys up and give it an overall clean and in the hope I could free up the butter flys vavles as they were solid...there was no luck but I put it back on and now when I start the car it goes straight up to 2000rpm - and then hunts at 2500rpm,

I bought a second hand part of that inlet with all the butterflys valves moving freely but still no change after fitting.


Need some mega advice if anyone knows.

P.S my car is a rev 2 uk model.

As you're a technician this should be easy, clearly you have an air leak.
