Cheers for all your help and suggestions.  Ripped the engine out again and the water was coming in through the water jacket gasket.  It was the front housing, so clamped the others together so didnt have to strip it all down again thank godness.  The O ring was severed.  Got it all back together again now after replacing the O ring and everything is running sweet.

Cheers biggzy - i\'m glad i\'m not the only one with this problem - i dont suppose you know where the idle control valve is do you?

just took it out for a drive after getting back from rotorstock after changing a few bits that we\'d put on wrong after looking at some other cars there, it\'s still idleing at 2.5k.  The car drives except for an over amount of backfireing - so i\'m guessing too much fuel is getting in, not sure if this is related though or a different issue.

have finally got the car started - after several floods.  The car started idle at 1000rpm but as soon as touched the accelerator jumped up to 2500rpm and wouldnt go back down again.  The accelerator seems to be really sensitive.  Left the car running for 15mins but still didnt drop the rpm back down

Any suggestions?

Cheers for that Adam - will have a go

It also dosen\'t start up that easily - still taking a while to catch and start up

Hi

Have just rebuilt Gen 2 FC Turbo II, just got it back in the car and started and the idle is really high 3 and when left running it revs up to 4 as if someone is stepping on the accelerator.  When I did put my foot gently on the accelerator the revs went mad.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as want to bring it to rotorstock.

Cheers

Cheers TRex I wish it was that simple

I\'m guessing that we must have put a water hose onto either on oil hose or an air hose - just cant think where we would have done it.  We\'ve thought about the o rings and the water jacket o rings but can\'t see how they would be letting that much water through - especially when we havent started it yet and it\'s not under pressure.  I\'m guessing we cant have put it on an oil hose - as they all have screw threads to fix them so we must have muddled an air hose with a water hose somewhere just not sure where there are two close together that we\'ve screwed up.

it\'s a turbo II

definitley put them in, and all the water jacket o rings - this is the second rebuild that we\'ve done, the first one was a Gen 3 though so the hoses are all different on this one

when we emptied the oil it wasnt like there was a bit of water in the sump, the sump was literally full of water and when you fill the radiator the water runs out of the sump like a direct feed so i don\'t think it\'s a o ring problem - thanks for the suggestion though

yeah - I know it sounds stupid but it\'s more a case of somehow we\'ve managed to link the oil and water systems together.  

Everything is connected outside the car the water is actually coming out of the sump.

Hi

Any help would be greatly appreciated

We have just done a fresh rebuild and have just put the engine back in the car.  We were filing up the radiator and the coolant is flowing out of the sump.  The car is a 1990 FC Turbo 2

Any ideas??
