The only thing that worries me is that yours is a 1998 one. They stopped the Tempra here in 1995 & most of them are TD`s, hardly any twin cams were sold here.
Yours may be a later type ignition system that we didnt get & there may be alot of differences with the ignition system (& injection) compared to our ones.
Does yours have a normal distributor with a rotor arm?
When you say the "Idle actuator" do you mean the throttle position sensor (electrical) on the side of the throttle body, or do you mean the idle valve on the side of the engine?
If its running normally when you diconnect both the coolant sensor (the blue top one?) AND the throttle position sensor, but only when BOTH are disconnected at the same time, then I`d check the wiring & connections all the way through the engine management circuits & also look at getting another ECU thats
known to be good, or, get yours tested if you know someone who can.
Other things that come to mind are:
Lamda sensor
Blocked catalitic converter / exhaust silencer
Fuel filter/fuel pipe/tank blockage
Restricted/dirty throttle body / intake
In case you see one in the scrapyard, most (if not all) of the mechanical & electrical components in the Tempra are also used in the Lancia Dedra.
As far as the vacuum pipes go, I can only recall one on the bulkhead just under the wipers, I think its a Ford one & I`m pretty sure it only does the economy indicator on the dashboard.
Unfortunately I`ve leant my Tempra to a friend, so I cant go outside to check which ones you mean!
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your quick response.
Here is the problem:
I have this car for 3 years and it was perfect in any seance: great engine, fast etc, until my car started to act like 50% of power.
I checked everything, alredy replaced a eng. speed/ref mark sensor and ignition distributors phase sensor wich was damaged.
I checked all other sensors ( air intake etc), and the weird thing is that if I disconnect Idle acutator and coolant temperature sensor, the engine works much better, but still far from as it should.
Any idea of what could be the problem ( I am suspecting of some electrical problem)?
The other thing is that I would like to know about those 4 vacuums/valves since they are all connected to each other and air inktake system.
Thanks in advance
