QED throttle bodies throttle linkage

[nova 2L 16V]

Would like pictures of QED bodies throttle linkage on xe, as I have bought the linkage and have put it together but canot get full throttle. Also I was told by QED I can use the linkage with dome fillter but Im not convinced as the backing plate gets in the way unless i am missing somthing in my kit.

lol.. is there a throttle position/potentiometer fitted to the side of the ITB's??

[nova 2L 16V]

yes have a throttle position sencor on the right side of bodies if you look at them on the engine under the bonet. Why you ask? whats so funny lol

Thats the same filter I have, I got the full kit from QED. I put it together twice and It doesnt seem right. Ill take photos of mine when i got to the garage next, but in the mean time if theres any thance of you getting photos of yours that would be great.

see my thread, about prog. engine management in electrical..

if you say u cant get full throttle with the bodies not fitted yet - its either the linkage or try removing/undoing the throttle pot. and see if it free's it up..

I get full throttle when its not fitted to the linkage just not when its linkd up lol. Personaly i recon they have sent me something wrong or fergotten sumin, its driving me mad spent 2 hours trying firrenent ways, in the end i made another braket today. It works but im not happy with it as Iv paid good money for that linkage you should know yourself it aint cheap for what it is.
thanx

Thats not gonna happen, the car was broken for spares a year ago :(

Aye, it was running a tad lean on that run :( An FPR adjustment fixed that

Mine had a similar problem with the linkage/back plate. There are several linkages available, have a look on the website for them and identify which one you have then call up QED and check it's defo the correct one for your application. My problem was fixed with some small spacers which had went missing at some point but QED sent me the new ones free of charge!!! Also, I just trimmed the standard accelerator cable back to the correct length and fitted the small ball type (whatever the **** they're called!) joint that fixes to the linkage.

If your linkage is the correct one then I'd suggest taking a look at you cable, possibly need to shorten it by bringing the linkage joint thing closer to the cut back of the outer sleeve of the cable.

Hope that helps! (and makes sense!)

No, this was the good engine i got from Chris Tunnicliffe, the reason it was underfuelling was due to the FPR being the only part of the setup i didnt buy from him lol
