CAN YOU HELP WITH AN ENGINE PHOTO?

I need a kind indervidual to post up a photo of their Scala engine (1.8 inj k-jet DX) for me. :beg:

Ive just rebuilt it and I think I may have the small vacuum hoses that go on the little unit on the side of the dizzy, on the side of the air filter box and from the bulkhead that all connect to the intake manifold in the wrong places. My haynes manual is no help, the pictures are different to mine. Its running and drivable, it feels a little wrong.

So all I need are your pics of the three little hoses.

Thanks in advance!

:hugegrin:

Hope these are the shots you need, it's grim out there I don't fancy doing it again :yup:

Sorry to the mods if these are to large, I'm not the best at getting pics on here... :chortle:

So, the yellow one comes from the air box, the clear one comes from the bulk head and the black comes from the back of the manifold. At least on my car thats how it looks!

Well al seem to be the same!

But my idle RPM is around 2000 after the re-re-rebuild!

Why could it be doing this? Any ideas? :beg:

Does it idle from cold at 2000 rpm, or after it has warmed up? If it's the latter, make sure that the electrical plug has been reconnected on the aux air valve (part of the auto choke arrangement) If it's disconnected, the valve stays open allowing too much air through after the engine is warm.

Its doing it as it warms up, butthe plug is fine.

Could that valve just be broken?

:dunno:
