lol my missus came home one day with my favourite meal and some fun times that night... then i knew something was up... just before bed i walked outside... NEW RIMS... MACCAS DRIVE THROUGH... need i say more lol So on another note, driving home today was at lights and clutch didnt feel right so i pumped it a few time then it went soft was like there was no pressure. but it still returned and was driving fine, just no feedback (i usually run a stiff clutch) anyway got home and decided time to have a read of service manual. 2 hours later i have fixed that with a clutch bleed and fluid replace (it was murky and brown) so clutch feels good again (the heat last few weeks didn't help it) on a bad note i cracked the clip off the lid of the master cylinder so wreckers tomoz lol also i have had this problem on and off for a few months but lately i could not stop it... my idle would be fine, after driving i pull up to a set of lights and then the idle would stay at 2k and not drop. very annoying especially when slowing down i would have to clutch out and roll with it reving at 2k so while i was under there i decided to give the car a going over for the trip to Adelaide.. this is what i fixed: accel cable was flailing around and out of adjustment (don't understand how but it was yet the pedal still felt normal) vac hose from RH injectors - intake manifold was off now car runs fine and has no hesitation, surging or high idle. Love a bit of mechanical on a Friday evening while having a drink and coming out better off lol

[RX25SE]

^^ Win. When you say vac hose from RH injectors you mean what?? Lost me there.

[CodeBurn3r]

there is a vacuum hose that runs from a some sort of regulator on he RH fuel rail to a point on the intake manifold (same diam as the one that runs to top of the throttle body for UEC) when i did my head gaskets i bought new pipe as the old one was brittle and cracked open. this one was a tad too loose on the end by the looks of it and just slid off. its in a hard to see spot almost connecting under the manifold. ill search the service manual and find out what exactly it was for later reference...

hahaha........ no dint,



















guess she was just happy with the "service" she got earlier this arvo

[skillionaire]

Nice.

[CodeBurn3r]

ok Jase it is either.. the "Pressure Control Valve" or "Vent Control Valve" the thing connects to the end of the RH injector rail but has a vac pipe running to the intake manifold and another pipe running to the charcoal canister. depending on which service manual i read it seems it could be either, this is from a 97/98 USDM service manual but it appears to be the same thing except the USDM shows a pipe coming from the end of each injector rail and then into the valve and to the charcoal canister whereas mine is mounted on the one injector rail instead.

Does it look like this?

Fuel pressure regulator.


Connected between the fuel rail and manifold?

This (as the name suggests) controls the fuel pressure.
It raises the fuel pressure when the manifold pressure rises (or drop in vacuum if you like) when the throttle is opened.

If the vacuum hose was off the you have two issues.
The fuel pressure will be always at maximum (fine if you have your foot to the floor) and a vacuum leak which may cause a high idle speed.

The usual symptoms of this are *drum roll please* stumble/hesitation on low speed acceleration and unstable idle!

Shouldn't be connected to the charcoal canister though, only manifold vacuum.

Vent control valve is used to connect (via signal from ECU when conditions are met) charcoal canister to manifold so stored hydrocarbon (fuel) vapour can be burnt by the engine converting evaporative emission to a exhaust emission.






Awww crap I'm rambling again.

[B4TT]

I reckon you hit teh nail on the head with that one RX

Welcome to Saturday morning.

Welcome to Saturday morning.

Thankyou. Glad to be here.
Wish the morning wasnt half over already!

Sometimes I don't know whether to love or loath this time difference. I know in reality it doesn't really change how much we all have to do, but just knowing that it's still an hour before we open for work and you're about to have lunch kinda irks me a tinkle. I've got two tiny dogs running around here this morning. They are both very happy about nothing. Good on 'em.

I utterly loooooathe ur time difference - I cant believe that WA still voted against DLS :S
*confused*
I love DLS as it gives me time 2 actually do stuff outside after work.

btw, what dogs do u have running around? lol

The sun goes down in the west though, so on our normal time it is still light until 9pm, I think easterners often forget this. Also, it was implemented and forced down our throats by a Labour government, and WA being the most Liberal state in Australia strongly opposed the style in which it was brought in. Three years is not a trial. If I go up to a girl and say, I think you and me would be a good idea, lets date for three years and then assess whether or not it is working out - that's just not reality. They banked on the stereotype that WA would get used to it, and be too stupid to make up their own minds on changing back again. Big underestimation of the conviction of the mighty Sandgroper. I have a miniature German Schnauzer and a Shitzu cross Poodle, which I affectionately have called, the Shitpoo.

[ Eh fair enuff, sun duznt go down here til about 8:30pm now YAY! Blondie likes this! I juz hate when I travel back from there and i leave at 3pm ur time, and i get here and its about 11pm lol stupid 3hr crap... But that's me being greedy and not actually having 2 live over there lol. btw, f*ck labour. Cuuute puppies I have a shitzu x maltese = shitease or malti-shit. A black lab x kelpie annnnd a bitza-i-dont-know-what-but-she's-cute.

Haha Nik, show us another photo with the dog

I often envy animals the way they can have so much fun and entertainment just by sitting there, or smelling something. Easiest life ever some of them have. Wake up, get fed, toilet, do whatever, sleep, eat, do whatever, sleep over night, repeat.

Next life I come back as a lab. or a cat I reckon. Easy like Sunday Saturday morning.

P.S. Kellz - have you researched the Movember thread yet?

[skillionaire]

She's up the house at the moment, let me see if I can dig one up.
