MOT passed - but...............

Check the hose to the MAP - it should ideally be plumbed into the vac nipple under where the BAC valve is.

Wish I understood half of that - lol

You\'re forgetting how little I know.

Sorry John
 
The MAP sensor is the rectangular black box thing with a small electrical cable (4 pin plug) and a vacuum hose coming out of it.  It\'s usually mounted on the drivers side strut tower - towards the front of the engine bay.
 
If you follow the upper inlet manifold down to where it meets the lower inlet manifold.  If you look from the side of the car, looking at the centre of the manifolds - where they join together - and then follow the join towards the bulkhead - there is a small vacuum nipple sticking out at a slight angle - that\'s a good place to for the hose from the MAP to join onto - as that\'s a source of vacuum/boost.  That\'s what I\'ve got my MAP sensor plumbed into.  I will take a pic tonight so you can see what I mean.

Glad the car is on the road John, I\'m going to try and do the Duxford event as long as my friends rex is back from an engine re-build.

Did you fit the engine your self?

Hi Adam

Fitted it with a fair bit of help form a mate, just hope I can get it sorted for Duxford.

We\'ve sort of arranged to come down for the weekend, so I\'ll see you up the pub.

Glad I wasn\'t around Richard when England were playing.

even better, always nice to have a drink.

Dad was surprisingly calm considering.

After 4 months ownership my friends rx7 went pop, its currently down in reading having a re-build, he is after a 16bit power fc as its post 1997 car. Just on an off chance don’t suppose you know of anyone?
