Title: HELP ALMOST THERE
Post by meatman on Jul 18^th, 2008, 12:45pm

hi
got my car (24v) started it idles like a pig done the usual cleaned the iacv, maf, etc.
can hear a sucking noise on startup all vaccum pipes are ok but i have wrapped them with self amalgamating tape just to be sure when i shut the engine off there is also a noticable sucking/blowing noise.
now the funny thing is when i have had the engine running for about twenty minutes at the erratic idle and she is up to temp if i blip the accelerator she settles down and behaves perfectly.
i have a replacement iacv from my 12v will this work on my 24v the only difference i can see is it is a straight plug rather than the angled one on the 24v.
regards
mark
