Guest ugp Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 whats this then ? Throttle position sensor, or ICV, Idle Control Valve. Ive knocked mine before when changing plugs and it did a simular thing. Does it flash up any error codes with the paperclip trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 i did take the throttle cable off like ive not got a paper clip mate i am trying to find something that will make do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 had a bit of a brain fart there it looks like it is firing on all cylinders but yes it does sound like a tank ideling ive took the EFI 1 fuse out for a few mins and tried that but its still running bad it seems to clear given a few revs tho took it for a quick blast up the run way and its jumpy as hell I'd try driving it for a few miles and see if it gets better, they can feel really lumpy after an ECU reset and can take a good run until they run right again. Did you check the gaps on the plugs? Have you checked the distributor cap is secure and all plug leads are connected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 i took it for about a 5mile blast round the airfield and was lumpy as hell off throttle where is the FAQ or "how to " on the paper clip thing i cant bloody find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 in this process ive removed the 2 electrical clips off the intake can this cause a problem ? Have you reconnected it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest krefty Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 High,have you checked all electrical connectors??, as when i replaced cam cover gaskets i forgot to connect one of the Lambda sensors back up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 they seem ok mate What means "seems ok"? Change leads with known working set, one of them might get slightly damaged inside when you was taking them off to change rocker cover gasket.

supra steveo Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I checked the Ht leads and cleaned them inside and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 problem found! it was a vacum sensor pipe that had snapped off the intake manifold ,seems this problem has happened before as there was super glue all over the bit that snapped needed a 24mm deep socket to get it off and now i need to replace it with a new one anyone know a part number ?
