Post by: robz on 22 June 2009, 15:09: hey, sorry to hijack the thread a bit,
but can ya unplug the idle control valve to see if it makes any difference in running???
will this work or will it just stall whether it was working properly or not?
just cant seem to get to the bottom of my problem, lol...
gonna be having the rocker cover off for a paint and see what is going on behind there too :)

i pulled the tb off and the vac hose that runs to the bottom of that had a massive hole in the elbow.. so thought brilliant, new hose and clean the tb and it'll run like a dream... or not, lol
