Dammit, I thought i was onto something! Ill have to keep looking for a leak...

no it doesn't bleed to atmosphere. It bleeds into the intake system before the turbo, IIRC. Check the fat pipe that runs under the throttle body for the idle air. There should be a fitting on there somewhere, which is where the other end of the VSV should connect.

Interesting. I had that bit missing on my ST165...

are you 100% sure the timing is right?

Nope, but afaik it hasnt been touched since it came out of Malcolms old 13.1 second ST185..

Im pretty sure there is more vaccum leaks, so i want to check all them first..

Well i have the car idling, its a bit of a rough idle and it still stalls sometimes. Could this just be cos the knock sensor/tvis is still not connected, and the fuel is 6 months old?? I just remembered the petrol was put it the last time i drove it, which was january.

even if they arent, they're pretty easy things to fix

by **Boosted_162** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 7:27 pm

They arent as easy as you think! The lean on the motor makes it very hard to reach behind the motor! :lol:

. Unfortunately the knock sensor is VERY hard to get in the motor (note to self: screw it in BEFORE the motor goes in!) Then i lost the knock sensor down the back of the motor :oops:

Im gunna try connect everything tomorrow and hope for the best! Doesnt look like it'll be legal anytime soon tho, due to one very leaky PS pump

if you drop the knock sensor, there is a large chance of damaging it.

by **rollaholic** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 9:43 pm

aye i tend to think if things in terms of having the car on a hoist - hats off to people who do engine swaps etc without one, i guess im just a prima donna about that

replacement 2hnd pump ftw?

wouldnt hurt to put some fresh fuel in. Ive used older, but it can make a difference

It was only a few cm, was trying to screw it in and its now sitting somewhere on my steering rack/crossmember

.

If it is broken, i wont worry too much, it came from my spare gen 1 anyway :lol:
