![]() | Re: Project sharkbait How does the engine feel turning by hand?, if it feels free, i'd suspect it's pure voltage related, maybe corroded terminals or earths just meaning the starter can't get enough oomph. Worth cleaning the earth from the inner wing to the negative post on the battery.

![]() | Re: Project sharkbait Stick a jump lead on the negative of the battery and connect other end to the engine block and see if that makes a difference ![]() If not, jump it from another car whilst it's running, and see if that spins it faster.

Posts: 79 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Project sharkbait Well a little more progress Shark bait is having trouble starting due to its idle control valve being stuck so when starting I have to play with the throttle to get it too start pain in the backside once I get it started I have to hold the revs at 2000 or it will stall so yesterday I went to remove the icv to find someone has stripped the torx on the harder of the bolts so I've dismantled the throttle body and I'm going to try hacksaw a slit to get a flat head in or drill the head off remove icv then get the rest of the bolt out pain in the backside lol on another note I really need a new exhaust for it cause it's stupid loud atm hahaha [attachment=3:if4xybxt]IMAG0741.jpg[/attachment:if4xybxt] [attachment=2:if4xybxt]IMAG0740.jpg[/attachment:if4xybxt] [attachment=1:if4xybxt]IMAG0739.jpg[/attachment:if4xybxt] [attachment=0:if4xybxt]IMAG0738.jpg[/attachment:if4xybxt]
