Thanks to another user on another forum, who had the same problem as me, told me what was wrong, as soon as I discontected the electrical connection to the overrun cuttoff valve, the two problems disapeared :)

I now have two questions:

1 - what does the overrun cuttoff valve do, what can I do to make it good? clean it or replace it?

2 - What damage (if any will it cause to my car when it is disconected, can I keep driving it with it disconected?
