Hey everyone!
As you are all aware i sorted out the boost problem i had which turned out not to be the boost solenoid but the sparkplugs and HT leads, changed them over with normal NGK\'s and Magnecor competition leads and she boosts absolutely great now, just got a weird idling problem sometimes its a bit like lumpy like somethings draining power and then will cut out, any ideas? this doesnt happen all the time though..
Also my other query is do you normally get a tiny bit of condensation in your metal oil filler cap?
Thank you!
condensation in oil cap is normal
yer, first time i saw it i got really confused lol
Not sure why theres condensation, my mate thought water was getting into the engine, glad its all normal though so thanks guys :)
So what about the other idling problem? Any ideas?

Could possibly be your idle mixture control, no idea where it is on the FD but on the FC we have a little screw that you use to control the fuelling during idle to run either rich or lean, yours could be running just slightly on the lean side.
What are the normal sitting idle speeds just before it starts to bog? Could just be not getting enough fuelling during idle to keep itself turning over, my EGI is a little unfriendly to start sometimes for the same reason
sounds like vaccum issue to me maybe a leak on the uim side of the throttle assembly.
Hmm could be either or, thanks Lacey and Cyman. Im going to WGT on Monday so ill ask Pip and see what he thinks :)
Idol control valve need cleaning?
