[Matt]

Progress finally!!!!


Right today, drive to curts. Just intending to pick up my door looms.
Ended up with the engine in bits.

Started off with changing the map sensor, had a look in the hole and it was gunky. Decided it give the manifold a little clean up.
Treated it too a litre of petrol inside gave it a slosh around and what not and then emptied and did what was necsesary and set it on fire hahah.
Repeat around 5 times and nice clean inside
Decided while I was at it, gave the throttle body the same treatment, also cleaned up the icv, sanded the faces as the surface of the inlet was disgusting, cleaned resonator box and the. Reassembled.
Also changed the fuel filter and the fuel inside came out black.......


Anyway all back together in 3 hours. Starts on first turn, idles beaut!
Well Impressed with myself
