won't idle! URGENT!

[Peter Jones]

Like i said the other day, check that idle air bleed. They have a habbit of not staying in the right spot. wind it all the way it and remember how many turns out it was. next time you have trouble, wind it all the way in, counting the turns and see if it has wound in or out..

Yep, I had the same thing happen and all it takes is a 2cent O ring to fix it. I've got heaps of them Stu.

I can set that CO% for you one day if you'd like Stu.

the aux air valve, cold start injector and the warm up reg are not wired up. but i did have this motor running previously in my 4 door beautifully without these things also hooked up.

I'm lost it may run but can't be 'beautifully'

The electrics only assist in cold start, the motor will run OK without them. It might take a bit longer for the WUR & aux air valve to come up to temp but they will eventually and it will start OK without the 5th injector.

(I accidentaly forgot to plug the loom in once and ran mine this way for two weeks, didn't actually make that much of a difference.)

Bit busy tonight sorry. How's that RWC going?

I reckon a vacuum leak. If not the bleed screw, maybe one of the rubber joints in the system is expanding when hot and creating a leak.

It could well be the idle screw though, I had one fall out once and it ran with a mad sucking noise, but would obviously never idle.

Idle screw is a classic , man spray around when its playing up and watch and listen for the rev change and you have the spot
