Took apart the Icv and cleaned it again,now it turned on but was idling at 2k rpm,it then dropped to around 1500 but didn't let it run longer to avoid annoying neighborhood,going to let the ECU resets and see what happens.

Try resetting the icv but turning the ignition on/off 6 times without starting the car.:drink:

Yes i did that,started up twice just fine then started to do it again,will get a new Icv and update later then,thanks for the help.

Battery at 12.2volts charged is goosed. Change that. Also, have you changed the temp sensor in the head?

VeiRoN 25th July 2014 09:34

Nope,i never said that,the battery is at 12.2v when the engine is off,no,the temp sensor is the still the original one i believe,are you talking about the green sensor on the thermostat housing?

VeiRoN 26th July 2014 13:33

So i fitted a brand new icv,started first time idles at 1500 rpm,turned it off,tried to turn it on again and its doing the same thing as the first post again,anything i am missing?

Why if i leave the icv plug disconnected it turn on and idles at 2000 rpm?

If i cant really do anyhting i will have to leave it at the garage,even though he needs to put it on diagnostic and charge 40 only for that.

Any help is much appreciated,thanks.

I tried that but still does it unfortunately.

Try to test coolant temp sensor ;) Or try to use french shit method. Disconnect battery for an half hour, it helps in my case, when my sax was running on 2 cylinders...

I have 2 blue sensors on the thermostat,the one below has only one wire and the other one on top has two,which one is the temp sensor?

icv, coil pack/spark plugs?

Might be worth you borrowing a mates coil pack and trying it mate.

If its the coilpack it should show on my diagnostic toll right? I dont have any codes though.

Doesn't always bring up a fault code mate,i had a stuttering loss of power followed by the eml flash up for a few secs but no fault code.this went on for months until the head gasket failed.

I cleaned the MAP sensor and now is much better,still does it once every three times though,will see how it goes.

VeiRoN 27th July 2014 14:39

Back to how it was again,cool.

So,the fuel pump primes,the engine cranks and is getting spark,in the same exact moment that the engine turns on and goes above 1000 rpm instead of sitting there it cuts off and turns over,if i keep down the throttle a bit the idle stabilize at around 750 rpm,if you give it a good rev it turns off.

From what i know i ruled out the crank sensor as it should not even getting a spark if that is the problem.

I have cleaned where the icv sits and it is shiny now but that seems not to have changed anything.

If the MAP sensor would be broken it should still run,would run crap but still turns on.

It has in about 6 litres of 98 unleaded fuel at the moment.

I got it to run before,done around 30 miles but i did not notice any problem like misfires or anything like that.

stevo67 27th July 2014 14:53

check the throttle position sensor & it's wiring mate.

VeiRoN 27th July 2014 15:16

Where would this be please?

stevo67 27th July 2014 15:56

It's at the back of your throttle body either next to or under the icv mate.

VeiRoN 27th July 2014 17:09

Thanks stevo,in the meanwhile i put some injector cleaner in,i doubt it will do anything but i wanted to try.
