(exactlt same simptoms as yours)

you can try cleaning it though

 

cheers for that ... getting some work done on the 12th may how many hours too strip and clean would you know and thanks again

 

no probs.

before you do, let me check i have the right way to do it, dont want you to do it and find it nackers it.

but from what i remember being told,

take it off (its the small cylinder with the black connector, just below the topmount in the middle of the intake).

before you do, let me check i have the right way to do it, dont want you to do it and find in nackers it.




spray it with some brake cleaner (dont try and adjust the mecanism though) and then leave it to dry. refit and should have done. hoping to have mine done tomorrow, so i'll post up for def if thats how its done. pm me if i havn't to remind me though, cos i'll forget lol
