morgey Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 my car did this after i removed the charcoal canister, but only when warm and only when i had just filled up with fuel. (completely different setup i know) but all i did was let the fuel tank breath to atmosphere and block of the vaccum line on the inlet manifold. strange considering my older setup engine ran fine with it connected Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Perhaps but on a previous visit a small oil leak was noted on the belt side. So I might just get the head done anyway..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuck Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 When it started causing issues yes.You do mean when the problems started arising, yeah? When the engine was from cold as such it was just a funny idle every now and again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J25GTi Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Coolant temperature sensor, on the thermo housing, usually causing running issues when either hot or cold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
