Where you live dude???

i live in glasgow lol

Is EVERYTHING plugged back onto the inlet mani, I mean ALL vacuum pipes?

How tight is the throttle cable? If it's too tight and it's holding the butterfly open even a little bit then air will be passing through it.

throttle cables bang on. REMEMBER tho, i completely block the TB an she still doesnt cut out. so the leak is anywhere btween, but not includin, the TB gasket and inlet gasket.

Spray some water on the inlet mate and rev the car. Watch for bubbles to indicate where it's leaking. Did you check your idle control valve?

Why would it bubble? The inlet will be sucking not blowing

Cover the TB like you have been doing?



Then Spray carb cleaner on suspect bits where it could be drawing air and it will cut out when you find the gap.



If you cant find it for the life of you i'll come up at somepoint n sort it.

Are the two water pipes that go to the tb getting hot? i had similar problems and the little metal pipe that comes off the thermo housing that feeds coolant to the wax stat was blocked so the stat stayed open causing the problem , i just cleaned the pipe out and cleared the meatl pipe so coolant can flow to opperate the wax stat causing the car to idle lower.

Trust me the ball will do the job :p try breathing through one lol that or a tennis ball! But the plastic bags a good idea, I'd want a strong ass elastic band though incase it gets sucked in!
