AdamB Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Well the fact if you block the TB and it doesn't cut out assumes theres a leak between the head and the TB somewhere. TB gasket? Is the face straight on the manifold? Is the head face straight? Cracked head possibly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) have you tried blocking the wax stat that is under the throttle body? there is a hole inside the throttle body at the bottom. start the car and block it with your finger and see if makes any difference. there is also another hole on right which goes to the idle control screw on the right. block that at the same time as see if it makes any difference. make sure idle screw in screwed all the way in. can you put a picture of the throttle body up at the moment want to see whats going on with the little vacuum ports Edited September 3, 2013 by 5T4R7ET N/A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Checked the little rubber seal on the icv?Tb gasket, vac lines, cracked mani.Have you blocked off the unused holes in it? If so what with? Urmm the power steering servo from the tb connected to the rack properly and securely?Do you have the one way check valve in the line that goes from manifold to servo?Just a few possible suggestions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Or light a fag and put the butt end around all the pipes, if it tokes on it then you've found your leak. Do be cautious of any fuel lines and fuel vapor though! Edited September 4, 2013 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
