ok i am going to pick your brains here,it may be a simple fix but i dont know much about theese things ,but that is why i am asking you guys so here goes..... i have a erst fitted with a collins dump valve. when running the car and it gets upto temp it then stops ticking over.the only way to get it ticking over again is to block off the pipe from the manifold to the dump valve. does this mean that the dump valve is bo***cksed??? or is it something else???
thanks in advance chris

mesure the internal diameter of the pipe the dump valve fits on to, this will give you a good indication of bung size needed.
