Default Amal valve clickinng constantly. S2 ERST

Hi Chaps.
I have finally finished the wiring loom on my S2 and got her running, everything seems and sounds well but my boost control solenoid is behaving badly.

When I put my ignition on, it clicks rapidly about four or five times, where it only used to click just the once. Also, when my engine is idling is is clicking fairly loud and fast.

Any ideas or solutions would be great,

Cheers in advance peeps.

Cheers mate, You don't know of any other solution do you. I ain't too keen on fitting a bleed valve. I always thought the amal valve had some degree of failsafe with it.

proberbly air pipe from ecu to inlet manifold blocked or pinched.
this causes amal valve to go mad and car to pink as ecu cannot detect vacuum or pressure.
thanks
