Hi, my 106 has just started to go lumpy at idle.
I've changed the spark plugs and idle control valve and spray cleaner in the throttle body
but no difference.
There has to be something wrong with cylinder 3 going by your previous post. Try taking the spark plug out and check the spark is there and a good clean blue.
thank you Steve,
I think the cylinder 3 was a red herring ... the new ht leads means I could take ht lead 3 or ht lead 4 off, and it was the same.
(I will take all spark plug out and check for sparks )
yup, all 4 have good sparks...bluish /purple
Here's after all the swapping about ...still struggling a bit .

so far
changed the spark plugs
idle control valve
the coil pack
the ht leads
the fuel filter
(the air filter is clean)
and lots of carb and air intake cleaner
I'm half tempted to throw some Cataclean and/or Redex injector cleaner in the petrol tank , just to see... and an Italian tune
Cheers
Liam
ps no engine management light on at all...
Hmmm, I'm running out of ideas! Redex and Italian tune would be my next idea too. Possible dodgy fuel? Maybe run as low as you dare then get some super unleaded in her!
thanks Stevoxsi,
I'm gonna try adjusting the tappets tomorrow.
then we start getting into sensors, or ecus ! , bad earths ?...
funny you mention fuel , as i always use v-power .....maybe it could do with some el-cheapo one instead..
anywho.... it may fix itself
Cheers for the help
Liam
ps timing is good...too
wd-40'd (well, electronic compoment spray) everything that didn't move
pps there are some people with similar... they have swapped everything ...and ended up thinking it was a loom issue, or a throttle body.
I'll keep an eye on the mpg...and if ok, I'll carry on regardless
Cheers Greegor
not sure tbh, it looks aluminum from the top..
but it is intake manifold related ....I think ?
back to it, when the weather improves..
Cheers
Liam
ps I cannot believe how much hassle the rocker cover is causing !
I tightened it up too much, and then oil was spraying out everywhere
seems they are made out of chocolate !
You'd think you'd be able to buy a 3mm rubber/silicone one that would fit inbetween, for a bit of leeway
I was half thinking a silicone sheet and cuting the template out
I'm making do with lots of instant gasket atm, (for a couple of days) till I see where the hole is on the inlet manifold
I think it's coming from the rubber gasket over heater, under the throttle body
I'll report back , but I have a MAJOR problem atm, an allen key has fallen into the gap in the engine wher ethe fly wheel is
Good one Liam, I might have the same problem, only not as severe. A slight air leak somewhere in the system. Probably from the throttle body or under it.
Cheers Liam, that is brilliant. I'll post a couple of pics when I get round to taking it apart. That's the gasket between the bottom of the throttle body where it connects to the intake manifold. That would be number 11 I think. I want to take the throttle body off the intake manifold to clean it.
Cheers Liam, I need that blue gasket that goes at the bottom of the throttle body, if I can get one. And one to go between the injection body and the top of the throttle body. I have the carb spray ready to use.
