Well the other day I fixed my IMRC, or at least I thought I had. Basically the spring was popping over the runner so I used a little chemical metal to secure it. Well tonight the engine light came on again and the cars low down feels a little rough.

The question I wanted to ask is, can I run the car with out the IMRC attached...

A: To fix it whilst it's off the car, yet still drive the car to work.
B: Maybe to just remove it all together ?

Or does anyone know of any alternatives ?

 

Im having the same trouble mate other than i havent gone as far as investigating the IRMC.

From looking on here there appears to be two potential issues with them.

1) Where the spring runs over the cam which is fixed with application of chemical metal.

2) something to do with a transistor which needs to be replaced. https://sites.google.com/site/mrhightower/imrcfix

I suspect it will run without one just badly as it will not switch the inlet like it should.

to remove completely i think a complete inlet replacemnt would be needed...i.e. bike carbs or simular

 

Thanks for the info

 

Well I took the unit apart yesterday... fingers crossed it works.

 

So far so good, the car has lots more bottom end and does rev out well...

There is one common flat spot low down, but that's normal. Yesterday I did a trip of around 70miles, yet the light still remains on..

I think I will get the light switched off again at work and see what happens.
