Throttle body

[Jonff]

Took mine off today to clean as a last resort to try and resolve my non starting problem but noticed there was a gap all the way round it, you could push it so it closed more and it closed the gap, is the normal?

See picture!

this is normal, gap.they are all like that. Your non startin prob, did it stop priming the feul when u swapped or checked relays???

There has to be a bit of a gap there otherwise the engine wouldn`t be able to get air on idle and it would cut out.

A while after yeah, doubt it's the problem though because the pump was priming for a while after I cleaned my relays.

Might be a long shot but I think it could be something to do with my faulty UCH.

Ahhh I see. cheers for clearing that up. Just at the point where I'm looking for anything that could be the problem.

u might ave muddled up the relays and put them back in a different place. Causein the car 2 display different fault, 2 the first fault. The relays are a common problem. They r cheap has chips 2 buy. i would replace them.

Yeah I've read they tend to corrode and stop working, I never switched the position of the relays though and only cleaned up the blacks ones that are located in the engine bay.

The uch could b the prob, The uch talks 2 the injection comp. uch sends a code 2 the injection comp 4 it 2 start.

Could this throw up the heartbeat monitor light up on the dash if that was the problem? I'll hopefully find out what the problem is tomorrow as it's going to Renault.

I'm not sure to be honest, thought had crossed my mind but that wouldn't explain my fuel pump not priming. So unless everything has decided to fail at once I don't think it's that, that's causing the problem.

there has to be a gap around the butterfly to let in air for the engine to idle!

I'd look to your coils for the starting problem.
