Hi mate,
it's the last time I let my mate go near the car, that's for sure. I will definitely do my research first :) thanks for everyone's help Craig |

Hi Craig! Glad you found the link I mentioned and got it all sorted back to how it should be
Deffo be carefully about just firing carb cleaner in as the crap it cleans off can end up in the engine rather than out of harms way. Also avoid removing/moving any of the sensors or throttle position/potentiometer stuff, especially if not in the timing mode as it can cause issues like you had.

Thank you very much good sir, the car is now running lovely and idling beautifully :)
I will still take it to the garage for the timing, but am very happy :) |

I have been advised that the ECU needs to be entered into a mode for the timing / idle to be set? How can this be done? I can't find anything on the 'how to' section

You need to set the timing if it's out of spec, you do this via the distributor,so you will need a timing gun if you want to do it yourself or you can take it to a garage,10 min job for a garage to do it.

The car is now running :) The timing is out and is idling around 1000rpm once warm. Do I continue to adjust the TPS or take it to the garage to get the ignition timing set?
Any help is greatly appreciated |
