but it wont run properly

and it willl take a about 2mins to start with the motor spinnin an fully open throttle then it will slowly tickover then start revving up then u can hold the revs high ish about 4k then it will slow down an die again

the fuel is gettin through an the spark is good the cam belt has been timed properly checked everything loads of times

and still can't get it running properly

anyone hav any ideas

where is the car located?

 

[danb998]

the car is located in lowestoft

i for got to say its got the usual dings an scratches for a car of its age

it does come with oil,an a oil filter that i bought to do an oil change but haven't had it running long enough to warm up to do it properly

it comes with a few spares an some new parts i bought for another uno i used to hav but never fitted

the tyres r all legal the back ones only hav about 3mm tread tho but they r only 13inch alloys so from a local place i can get 2 part worns for 25 fitted

its been lowered 35mm

any questions just ask

if u wanna view the car just e-mail me and we could arrange something

if i can get ir running i will keep it cos i reallyneed a car on the road asap

so its either fix or sell asap

cheers

Sounds like a fuel pump/fuel filter problem to me. I think you should take the fuel pickup out of the tank and see if it needs cleaning - if so, replace the filter and strip the pump too (or replace it with a spare). In other words, start at the source - see if you can find what's gunked up the pump and filter first?

petrol is gettin through to the spi unit

 

[danb998]

could it b the ignition module r the idle control valve/the stepper valve on the side of the SPI unit

 

[danb998]

i can now get i running but it takes a while to start an then once i letit idle the revs climb slowly i think this is a prblem with the idle control valve would i b right in sayin that?

it takes aes to start seems liketh idle control vavle isn't cuttin in properly then when it does start the idle control valve cuts in a holds the throttle open ever so slightly so the revs slowlyclimb

say i change this part an set it up

and it still wont run properly what else could it b

iv changed all the igniion parts head gasklet cam belt etc etc

hecked verything iv changed loads of times

i'm goin to change the idle control valve then go fromm thre if that works ten its all good with b mot'd as an when

but if it doesn't what else could it b
