Idle Control Valve .
Take the rubber pipe off and run the engine , rev up the engine using the throttle linkage and spray carb clean into the sucking air passage and this will clean the valve .
These valves get gummed up over time .
You need a new solenoid by the sounds of it .
If you are any good with electrics , put a volt meter across the two wire pins at the lock and test for power 12v and earth .
If all ok - I'd say you need that solenoid
The threaded part that screws into the engine block is metric and that's not my worry .
It's the thread in the sandwich plate that I'm after , so I can order the right one
I'm ok with metric threads , but this 10JIC , AN10 is doing my head in .
Basically I have a basic sandwich plate as you see in the pic , and want to run a 1/8NTP oil temp sensor for the gauge , so what sandwich plate do I get that has 1/8NTP in it and what size larger holes to get so my hose...
I'm sure I've said this in another post , I removed the throttle potentiometer, two screws and lubed behind on the spindle , also I squirted 3in1 oil inside the butterfly spindle and worked it through. I'm sure I removed the butterfly itself and the shaft and lubed accordingly , but your welcome...
Bet you haven't been into the workshop and asked a Renault tech to have a little look [emoji102] in his tool box . Bound to be one in there [emoji1303]
What with track Db triggers becoming ever so tight now and being pinged by throttle bodies induction noise , I'll keep my RS2 thanks .
With regards to not enough plenum volume @NorthloopCup , you prob know more about that than I do as I have your old one [emoji12]. It suits me for now [emoji1303]
First things first , are you using the air con ?
This will help in clearing the screen .
2nd : there is a possibility that it could be the water that is generated from the air con and is not draining from the box . Reason I say this is because you say it stinks [emoji40], stagnant water from...
I stripped my throttle body right down , took out the flap and removed the shaft , there is a seal on both ends , I doubt that will allow air to be passed .
I used wet and dry very fine paper with the oil and rotated the shaft where it would locate in the body , doing this removes any crap and...
I am using HLT Grand Prix edition with a Wifi dongle .
Prior to that I used a Bluetooth dongle with a jailbroken 4s phone and it was the same , no info out of it at all except battery volts.
I will look into it further at some point but don't have time ATM .
Doesn't work well on my Ph1
Considering an RSTuner gets all the info out of the ECU - this doesn't seem to work for me coupled with HLT.
And I don't want to spend any more on an app that's not going to function because my cars OBD is not supported.
I think these really only work well on PH2...
I agree , turbo comes with its own set of issues . If your not a mechanic , it can get costly keeping it tip top.
Low boost kits are available from engine dynamics .
That looks absolutely shocking . Looks like a shopping trolley bar , re-worked with side skirts that bolt to the OE seatbelt moveable point .
That wouldn't hold s**t in an accident imo
The Heater box is secured with 2 bolts which are covered by the heater blower motor . The motor needs removing first along with the wipers and then it'll all come out so you can sort the issue you have .
I would use a cup heater blower as its smaller and easier to fix if it needs a motor later...
The sole purpose of the conversion for me was that I wanted rid of the pump , so in my mind, when I would be out on track I wouldn't have to worry about the pump shitting itself and ruining my engine .
As said before - ditch it.
With regard to wanting to run epas and retain the air con ...
