finally started the car today after months of hard work, blood and sweat, only to find that something is not right.

On turning the key the engine jumps in to action, but jumps up to 2500 to 3000 rpm, and thats where it tries to idle. But after about 8 to 10 seconds the engine cuts out.. thought the throttle cable was over adjusted, so re-adjusted, still the same, removed cable still the same. Any ideas???

Also, can`t find any of the gears, am i right in thinking that you us the nova gear linkage?? i know that when i replaced it last time (when the car was normal) it was a T*$T to set up..

Cheers

Or you cud have the idle control valve and the knock sensor connected the wrong way round as this is what i had done. I just swopped them round and it fired up first time! Rick
