just had my MOT done today on mk1 16v (failed on rust on sill only) when put on the CO meter it was 0.19%. Would this cause me to have a crap idle and poor starting??
bit waek innit, probably wont help the idle , although ive played around with mine and it didnt seem to mind where i set it
Veeeeeery weak mixture - probably making a balls of your cold starting. Assuming you don't have a cat of course, which I imagine you don't. A dog doesn't make a difference, but cats or rabbit or anything..... Oh, nonononono.
Yeah I noticed I have to hold my foot down on the accelerator to start it properly sometimes. Me thinks I'll get it set at 2% tomorrow at my local MOT station for a couple of quid! Just the 6mm allen key right??
My crankcase breather is vented to atmosphere so just set it at 2% then?? With or without the ISV connected?? Cheers
Yep, just disconnect the red lead and make sure idle is correct (idle screw adjustment), set up C0, then re-connect red lead and you may have to re-set idle again!
i Was having problem with disconnecting ISV and it dies completely. so maybe i should just adjust the CO to 2.0 with ISV plugged in
If it dies completely then wind out the idle screw so it idles high before dissconecting the ISV. I'm surprised it runs at .19% CO do you have any exhaust blows?
The MOT tester said this was very good for an engine of this age. And no exhaust blows as he would have failed the MOT on it
