the power wire leading to the ISC. When i changed the plugs i do remember my forearm pushing against it, and it had at some point been broken before and repaired. i checked it but the broken bit was up inside the plastic wire surround.

i had a guy come and do a fault code scan and nothing showed up, which surprised me, but then he said he had come across it before so he checked power to the ISC and behold none- $2 and 5 min and 6 weeks of drama over!

now the problem is its drinking petrol to the tune of 18L/100k's. so im getting the injectors cleaned and new o2 sensors, even though they didnt show a fault code they are at least 150,000k old

And thats why, time and time again, if i don't know the answer, i take it to the professionals. With so little cost and so little effort they can minimise what you perceive as a massive issue down to just a tiny little fix.

How about you put it on gas?

good to hear amiers. This site has a wealth of knowledge that can potentially save you $$$. Thats why I became a donator to show my appreciation that such a site like this exists. I also return the favor by helping others with problems I may know the fix to.
