regret to inform you it is a TORCH. A flashlight is something sitting on top of a black and white thing that makes wailing noises in your rear view mirror. Of course in my Piazza they are usually too far back to see or hear anything. Re the BOV. They don't need this sort of toy to start and run well...

Marks are hard to see I agree, that nasty big spinning thing gets in the way of getting the timing light and eyeballs in the right place. I usually tie off the Viscous fan with a bungy to stop it spinning when using a light but I often set the timing with a vacuum gauge. It works fine. Disconnect th...

I do feel sorry for you, it is damned annoying when things like this happen with no clear cut reason. I am happy to help if I can but it means doing all the basic steps one by one. To fix hard starting and erratic running there are a whole raft of things to check both electrical and fuel related. Ty...

Righto, if you look at the fuel Pump relay one of the wires going in the back is Black with a red tracer (or should be). If you apply 12V+ direct to that wire by probing in the back of the relay the fuel Pump will run and stay running for as long as it is connected. If you were to fit a pressure gau...

There is an easy fix to eliminate fule pressure question. I need to check my data but there is a wire on the fule relay you can connect to that will activate the Pump regardless of ignition setting. It is common practice to use this jumper when testing fuel Pump pressure. I should be home in a an ho...

sounds like the idle air hose is split or detached somewhere, probably under the plenum. High revving is usually a major air leak. It is a bit of a mission getting under there to check it but it is the most likely cause.

Well done Bugo, wedgo here. We had better not get started on the cross translations between NIZLED and OZ. What you guys call a thong doesn't go on your feet over here, it goes in an entirely different place :yawinkle:

Don't get me confused with your valve cover nonsense, it has taken me years to get to cam cover from rocker cover!!! I'll try and explain it all a bit better. If you have the pulley notch lined up with "0" then no"s 1 and 4 WILL be at top dead centre, so no probing (anal or otherwise)...

Okay I can see we need to sort out some translations for you. "what are you doing for a crust" translates as How do you earn your living? Simple huh! Now "Septic land" Aka "Zippo Land" These are affectionate terms for the USA. America is populated by Americans, sometime...
