hello peeps i was giving the engine bay a bit of a tart up last night and when i finished i started the ol girl up and it sounds like air is being drawn in somewhere behind the inlet manifold,can anybody point me in the direction of where or what it could be as ive only just noticed it,but the car doesnt seem to be losing power or nothing (even tho its only standard it still pulls ok )
hope someone can me

Bet you a jam tart its the idle speed screw, they always leek air, try giving it a little wiggle while its running and i bet the noise changes

 

safechav,thats the one behind the inlet manifold isnt it?,ill go and have a fiddle when it stops fookin raining,

cheers mate

Just a thought, is this on an RST or XR3i engine?

 

RST sorry bout that(i did bit it in the right forum didnt i???)

rick e

 

Sorry

Its right next to the throttle linkage coming out the bottom of the throttle housing

 

i think i know the one.... i might sound thick but its got a spring type thing round it with a screw type thread on the bottom

 

Thats the badger

 

get some carb cleaner and spray smallamounts around the inlet manifold areas if the idle shoots up where u spray thats where its sucking in air.i know its gash but it works

 

is there a dv in the equasion?


and its not a leaky brake servo is it?

 

Fuckingggggggggg hell WHO ARE YOU stranger

Thats your answer to everything now ain't it, leaky brake servo PMSL

 

yeah,! been locked in a convent for a while, the 16 year olds wouldnt let me out,using me for their pleasure! i eventually escaped after dressing up as a schoolgirl,for two weeks !

the dreaded leaky b/s.

 

hello fellas,checked the idle speed screw and its deffo comin from there,

thanks safechav
