Underfuelling/too much air.

Same symptoms I had when my throttle body was over ported...on light throttle it would jerk and struggle, but with throttle open anything more than 1/4 it would be fine.

Alright boys, less of this, there is a time and place for me messing myself and at the end of the day I'm gay as. Granted i fail in most areas, but if people turn me on how can i help it, and I'm not excused from the unnecessary tugs, as BB said, continue helping BWL with his problems and maybe one day he will be my princess  :lipsrsealed:

Well got home.. looked at the plugs which look in a fab state.. i was well impressed with them given the milage i do...

anyways...

The fault was.... a small gasket failure between the maf and the airbox.. i think its due to the constant removal of airbox when i was looking at mounting up the charger.. anyways.. i have used a bit of liquid gasket and tightened it up before coating with some more instant gasket..i've let it dry and bamm.. no dodgy accelaration...

Also...

A quick update on the valver...

bought a new battery for her.. started and runs fine.. has a small issue with the total closure but i can deal with that..

going to rub down a few bits on the car that i have primed and then maybe throw some paint on her tonight
