My car...bad moods! ?

[goose]

When taking off the pipes twist, don\'t pull. You may want to cut some off if they\'re a bit hard, for safety\'s sake. I broke a couple solenoids myself when first doing that sort of work!

If you have trouble sourcing any bits drop me a pm, I may be able to help...

Goose its telling me i dont have permission to send a PM!

[goose]

Should have saved yerself the trouble and replaced /inspected the cat in the 1st place, and as Carl said take it to an expert and join the club.

[Bobfish]

was no trouble, im not annoyed its not sorted it because now i know if i get problems then its less likely to be those pipes.  Next is cat and spark plugs, and if that doesnt help then i will take it somewhere.

Dono how that happened! Somehow skipped a few threads and posted this in the wrong one! Sorry

This is normal. I\'m not entirely sure why there are two arms - I guess there may be some sort of application which requires 2 throttle cables. You can check your butterflies are opening by taking off the elbow of course.



Was just going through looking for places to buy spark plugs and came accros this thread!! Just going back to the duel arms on the throttle control. I\'ve only had my car about 6 months and have no idea if both of them move together (I am in no way an expert!!!)  But I think you\'ll find the second control arm is for Cruise Control for the other models. I know it doesn\'t really help with your problem but it might clear things up about that. I hope someone else can confirm if I\'m right or not.
