Hi all,
Bit of advice from you tech guru's please, is it ok to leave the Amal valve disconnected permenantly as this seems to have cured a misfire on high boost. Car is Saff 4x4 stage 3.
And is this normal that it would cure the problem or just coincidental ?
Cheers Mark

It shouldn't cause the problem i wouldn't of thought so probably coincidental.
and iirc yeh its fine to leave it disconnected

Of course it isnt coincidental, unplugging it has lowered your boost pressure

Getting her fixed properly should be your number 1 priority..

possibly overboosting and set up incorrectly take stu,s advice and get it checked out by a tuner or it could become more than just a misfire

as above when its connected the ecu opens it to full boost !!

when its disconnected it halfs the boost!

so now your running half the boost u was!

Thanks to all for the replies, so basically i have just bypassed the problem by the sound of it ?
Stuart, i have heard good things of your place and i am in the north west, what would you suggest, a diagnostic check perhaps ?
Maybe i should try to get up to your place in the next couple of weeks for a visit.

most probably the amal valve HAS got the wrong size jets for the spec your running now!

Book her in for a good setup if she hasnt had one for a while, details of what we personally do in a setup are here:
