Hi all,
The AU (factory gas ex taxi) had a rough idle so thought Ill clean the throttle body, sure enough it was filthy as and when I was there I thought Id turn (what I thought it was) the idle up. So the car ran ok after wards then went to start it 4 hours later and wouldnt go just kept cranking, FINALLY got it going and it was stalling and just not idling by itself, then I turned it off and heard a KABOOM sounded like I blew the exhaust clean off the block. Anyway, so I dont really remember which way I turned the knob or how many times but I got it going better than it was but its still worse than it was before I screwed around with it. Is there anyway to fix my screwup? And you dont have to tell me how stupid it was, I know now. Edit - In fact its worse now than it was the 1st time I screwed with it. Also, because it ahd a rough idle when it was cold is this the culpprit for this too? Or is that some other problem? |
