Air filter

[jasonpi]

right apart from a serious oil issue all over the air box ive now discovered that my engines cutting out when idle or slowing down now i can rectify this problem by shaking the tube between the throttle body and air box anyone now whats going on
its a 16v 89

Have you also got oil all over the insides of your air box?

[jasonpi]

aye took the middle tube out yesterday(was doing it before i did that) and noticed that oil was sitting in the tube and gromits

[Judderi]

What tube are you talking about? The one that goes across the front of the engine?

[jasonpi]

the tube that connects the throttle body to the airbox

[jasonpi]

oh and btw the smell of oil and petrol is quite strong if that helps

Sounds like you overfilled your oil dude it flows over the top and through all the air intake and kicks out big clouds of white smoke, U'll have to strip the air box and pipes give it a good clean and also the ISV will need cleaning could have done some engine damage as well although not sure what. also check for blockages in the pipe. good luck

[jasonpi]

right good advice m8 one slight problem picked it up from gaz last week we reckoned it was a blockage noticed no oil in car yesterday so dont think its that filled it up yesterday aint checked yet but from the smell i can well imagine its still doing it. will give all the pipes a good clean over the weekend and btw idleing is sitting well over 1000rpm.
ISV dont know what that is what does it look like

hello!!

seems funny youve only had running probs since the 'kwikfit' people removed your airbox to do that brake pipe, im sure theyve split a hose or havent reconnected 1, it deffo sounds like a leak mate, as for the oil i dunno. get it running right before you look into the oil thing. i put money on it one of them spanner heads has f@cked something up.
