My GTV V6 TB

Not like this. When the car is started it runs at 2000rpm, then settles down when the engine gets warm. If it's started when warm, everyhing is fine. It sometimes starts hunting when warm, but not every time. It's not so agressive like on the video...

Maybe you should look at your idle steppemotor, this could really mess up your engine. This was my problem, you can find one cheap not ATP @ eBay.

I will get another. So I shouldn't buy those cheap ATP ones?

[charlee 314]

When you replace the ICV, does it take any time for it to settle down with the ECU?

[gbinsb 22]

No you can just buy it from ATP, I also bought it and works perfect.

ECU adapts directly. When I replaced mine it works instantly.

I have tried one that works from a friend and the idle was somewhat better but still too high when cold.

[GTV-TB 315]

As far I know so is the TB ECU non adaptive, so the control of actuators are fixed by the values programmed in the ECU maps and no adjustments are made for wear on the sensors.

 

Have you checked the temp sensor yet ?, they can seems to work but on certain temp values they do not work correct, it can give odd phenomenon on the engine.

[charlee 314]

Could it happen suddenly? Or they have a long dying process?

[GTV-TB 315]

Both  

[gbinsb 22]

Try to read oud your AFM, it has also a temp sensor...

[charlee 314]

Can you please explain this a bit more?

[gbinsb 22]

You have your MES almost working. Than you can read out the cooling water temp and the air temp of the AFM. Just turn on your ignition but not start and read out the parameters write them down. also read out you AFM value. I have some similar afm loggings of my tb at idle.

Should I change my Blacklines to GT multispokes?

Elaborate Filip, you must be good in english now when live in UK and all. 

 By the way how is it to drive on the wrong side of the road......bananas?

[charlee 314]

Why not?

[Filip 124]

Because the Blacklines have more attitude that goes along with the Cup kit on your car, Charlee. The multispokes would look too plain I believe!

I haven't driven in the UK yet, actually :/

I've driven RHD cars before but on the correct side of the road, so that doesn't count...

[charlee 314]

Ok, understood. I like how they looked on Joris' Spider.

So, you didn't get a car yet?

[Joris 136]

Gt multispoke vote for me...

[charlee 314]

I knew you would approve

 

But they would have to be dark, like yours. What colour were they?

[Joris 136]

Wich one?

Hyper silver (argentum) they are dark in the shade and bright silver in the sun, ore the gun metal grey...

I think the gun metal grey looks best and is cheaper to respray!

[charlee 314]

Gunmetal grey, of course 

[poolboy 2]

Gunmetal!!

No, but I live on campus and almost everything is like 200 meters away... Would be nice to bring my GTV over once I get the rear suspension rebuilt

[charlee 314]

No need for a car. Keep the money pit at home

[charlee 314]

My complete P2 conversion is slowly progressing. I am still gathering parts for the job. The goal is a fully functional P2 interior with aircon (just heating at the beginning, need P2 TB pipes to make it work). Many thanks to pkr for his technical knowledge and advice.

What needs to be done first is to remove the dash and the old heater unit out of the car. I suppose I need to flush the coolant, right?

Then I need to wire the unit and make it work. Next will be the center clocks that I want to change to P2 due to clearance issues with my current P1/P2 mutant monster.

And then I would really like to cover the dash, door panels, etc in leather and alcantara. Still have to decide wether red or black leather. Red would look cool.

And then we move to other mechanical stuff like suspension, etc. After that, a full respray.

I will go into more detail as I go, this is just a quick recap

It might end horribly, but will give it a try
