found this :

" the breather hoses like to split, this can introduce an air leak into the air shrouded injector system. this is fed by the little pipe from the breather to the inlet/5th injector housing, as a quick fix you can simply cap off the nipple that will stop any air leaks here. Then either replace the breather or just leave it capped as it doesn't really do a great deal anyway."

HOW TO: Tune your MK2/Corrado 1.8 16v

This is really doing my head in, been trying to sort this car for 6 months now. Can't figure it out for the life of me, finally got it to idle lower and smooth. But now for some reason when it warms up the engine won't drop to idle smoothly, it sort of lowers then pauses then lowers then pauses until it reaches normal idle. When cold it seems to be fine.. is this the TPS playing up or ISV? I have recently replaced the TPS with one from a donor car but this could be faulty as well I guess.. No vacuum leaks, have replaced hoses etc gaskets. Have also replaced the coolant temp sensor as well.. fixed a fair amount of broken wires to switches etc cleaned up grounds.

Any help would be much appreciated, really need this car running smooth so I can get her registered and on the road again.

This is it from cold.. idle drops down to normal nicely.

And this is it warm... you can hear how it doesnt drop to idle smoothly, does it in stages almost..

Thanks team

So you should be. My favourite wheel. What size are they?

[brookfromhamilton]

[sports racer]

Fook, perfect size for the MK2.

Repeat after me, I don't want these wheels, I don't want these wheels.

I want Paul's 17's.




You bringing this to GAD?

Neat wheels did you powdercoat them or were they like it when you got them?

[sports racer]

Update : The 16v is now out. Will be putting in a VR6 asap. Thanks Stu for the help! Enjoy your 16v

[sports racer]

Stu buys a MK1, Stu buys a 16v.

I like where this is going.

Good luck with the V6, should suit the car nicely.
