Hi all
picked another nova up on saturday from ebay + got round to getting it fired up today, most of the day has been spent sorting out the sh**e work the dozey kid had done but got it running
problems im having are mainly idle related, i can get it to idle ok at just under 1k but when i start it i need to give it a rev to get it running or it will fire + stall as if idle is far too low, or i can get it to start on the key without a rev but then its revving way too high
any suggestions?
either way it revs up ok but revs are slow to come down again though
also ignition timing, i know i have to disconnect TPS + connect a wires on plug together which puts it to a default idle + then set timing but any idea how to set TPS up properly?
Im not hearing any sort of click etc when opening throttle so im wondering if TPS is shot
What is the idle timing setting on this engine?
need to get it sorted
cheers all for your help
