Hi guys , i am at my end trying to work out why , my vt wont idle properly.
I recently had to do the head gasket and had the head shaved ect .
I torqued the heads done exactly to how they said and i put the lifters ect back in exactly where they came out of (so they were not mixed up) I then torqued them and I also torqued the inlet manifold down wiith new manifold seals and I silconed the corners .
I started the car and ran it on idle for 30 min topped up the coolant and bled it ect and after doing this i then dumped the oil and oil filter and replaced with new stuff . But the car still running like **** ! So naturally i replaced the spark plugs and i actually went and got new leads!!!.
The car still running bad. So did a error check and it came up with no problems. ??? All vacum hoses are on and the purge hose is connected to the throttle body !!.
I have combed the car looking for reasons why it would be running this way and cant pin point what it is .
Does anyone have any ideas on where i may have a problem . As the car seems to run ok once its mobile, but i would say it has been better.
Cheers
Ted
