Default amal valve ticking

hi!

thanks for your advices for my CO problem when idling
I have another prob :/
Before I start the car, the amal valve is ticking ("tick-tick-tick"
permanently like a relay)
When the car is running there is no prob

I tried to disconnect the amal valve for test, (I have an -36 or -34 garret actuator, I don't remember the number but it's 16psi actuator) In 4th gear at full throttle I have 0.4b ~6psi

Why ?


thanks !

The amal valve should click when you first turn the car on but if it's doing it all the time then it maybe fucked.

As SafeChav say's if it's only clicking when you first turn the key then it's fine (it should click 2-3 times when you turn the key) if it's clicking all the time when the car is running then it's fucked

I'd say more it was the ECU, unless of course you are trying to suggest the amal valve is alive like Johnny 5

Then yours is fine

So you got your fuel problem sorted i presume? Is it running ok after the rebuild or not?
