Hiya guys
My 182 Full fat is slowing driving me mad, ive got a few issues that i could use some advice with
Lumpy idle - ive got a poly bush dog bone but the lumpiness has definitely got worse recently.
Revs dropping low on full lock - the revs drop down to around 500revs on full lock and then come back, this is very very annoying when trying to park or manoeuvre in a small space, it wont stall but its not far off.
Revs dropping down when starting the car - again the revs drop at first down to around 500RPM then come back to the normal >1000 + cold idle.
Doesn't always do this when the car is warm mind, seems to be pretty random if the car is warm.
Reading on the forum this seems to be a dirty throttle body ? Can anyone confirm this or anything else it could be ?
On a different note, I fitted two new rear exhaust hangers recently and ive managed to shear off one of the bolts from the hangers into the mount, does anyone know what size these bolts and where I could get one or I imagine I'll need to buy a set ?
Also, does anyone have any pics of how the manifold to cat gasket should be lined up, its blowing a bit and annoying me! Ive got the kit from KTEC which I read on here does fit and is the correct kit ? Correct me if im wrong..
The car is due a service, so I'll be doing an oil change, new oil filter and new standard spark plugs (PFR6E-10) and clean out my JMS V6 airbox.
Thanks for any advice guys
