Re: 1993 214 Cab idle issue

Coolant sensor is new...the one that tells the ECU. Just cleaned earth on slam panel was abit dirty and continuity using the meter was hit and miss. Blew out the hoses that go to the ECU. Throttle body is clean..im happy with that. It just behaved itself on the drive...bit rough but it always has be...

Cheers all, I did check the one pipe from the little valve on the bulkhead to the ECU and it seemed OK. I did not check the other pipe though. Ill check all wiring, car was fine when I first started using it but maybe the shock of being used has upset a sensor or something. Lambda is a suspect, mayb...

Ive seen 02 sensor suggested on other threads i found through google but none of them are conclusive.

Would this upset some sensors or something if its goosed?

Re: 214 Cabriolet (Story so far)

Cheers all..im very happy with the end result. Interior needs sorting but at least it lives on after 7 years!!

I like the idea of a 220 or 420 in the future.. At the moment i already have too many cars and not enough space though :(
