Guys, Could I adjust the choke on a NA, the thing revs its nuts off at 2,000rpm when it comes on at cold ???

 

Any destructions would be great, yes you know I mean instructions :p :D

 

same here, is this correct for it to idle at this speed??? its intersting to drive for first 3mins you cant role on idle in traffic as u just shoot towards the back of the car in front :p

 

after 4 - 5mins back down to idle of 800rpm

It's just that I noticed that whenever I try to demist and warm up my car on a cold and frosty morn' it switches the bloody A/C on. Couldn't get my head around it, but I guess it would dry the air out...

 

Yep, in fact it goes one better than that if I recall correctly. Get in the car, start it up, and hit auto mode for fan and vents, then hit the windscreen button, and it will put the fan on full and switch on the aircon as it knows the car is cold and you probably want to demist the windows. Cool.

I would imagine it to be very difficult to adjust the idle settings, and not screw up everything else.

 

I'd advise doing everything you need to when you get in the car, eg seatbelt, radio head unit, gps before ignition, then just turn it on and drive away.

 

We could all have quiet mornings if we really wanted to, by not using trains, not having milk delivered or our wheelie bins emptied

Not all that easy if you've got a heavy frost on your car though.

You are aware it's an EFI engine, not a carburettor one? Pumping the throttle before starting the car merely opens the intake butterfly valve and then shuts it again...

Fuel line decides to let go while pumping.....therefore squirting fuel out near engine, all over engine bay. 3 pumps should soak area nicely

 

Car starts i drive down road engine warms up.....fuel ignites.....Engine bay on fire,

fire travels down fuel line.....gets to fuel tank
