i cleaned the icv about 15 times over two days ...and eventually it now idles all on its own but now im losing power when i put my foot down and i mean 10 mph go to give a bit of gas and it slows down tap the pedal a few times and it will go for 20 -30 yards fine then i suppose you could say splutter dont cut out tho.

If she thinks you don't love her then
a) Take her out for a meal
b) Buy her some flowers or
c) Cram it in her ass. Dry.
Then she'll know you do!

All pics that were directly uploaded to this site were removed some time ago in favour of using hosting sites such as Photobucket......etc. Saves massive ammounts of server space & also increases the speed of users accessing threads with photo's. Granted, it makes older threads like this (especially the guides) next to useless but more will come in the future without sacrificing the running speed of this site. :)
