WallaceGlanza Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 That would be your injectors very comon ticking noise nothing to worrie about Nope, its actually the idle control valve he's talking about.If you unplug the electrical plug going into it you'll notice the revs drop slightly and the ticking will stop.If you have an excessive amount of oil coming out ofthe breather then unfortunately your piston rings may be badly worn best to do a compression test to check the health of the engine.

WallaceGlanza Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You can buy a compression tester from halfords for less than £20 then all you need to be able to do is remove your spark plugs as thats where the tester go's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 how do you do it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 First thing is to disconnect the king lead from the distributer and the efi fuse so there's no fuel and no spark. You are also supposed to do it with a warm engine.Then you remove the spark plug from the first cylinder, screw in the tester then with the throttle fully open crank over the engine on the starter until the gauge stops reading any higher (maybe 5secs of cranking) then take the reading remove the tester and refit the first spark plug then move onto the second cylinder.Repeat it for all 4 cylinders and compare the readings, they should be all be roughly the same and in the range of 150-180psi on a healthy engine.
