When you remove the oil cap on the engine i know my car goes of idle ,the chap i know who does a lot of engine work says its to do with it being a positive pressure engine ,i'm sure someone here will know exactly what that means

When you remove the oil cap, you basically allow a load of unmetered air in to the engine via the breather pod, which upsets the combustion because the ecu doesn't know about it and so struggles to compensate. If you remove the cap and it doesn't affect a bad idle then you have an air leak somewhere. The first place I'd look with this one is the inlet manifold gaskets, since its been off previously. Not sure how complex the vacuum system is on the V10, but thats somewhere else to look. Also, someone please buy this because the price is verging on me buying it just for the engine and I have enough projects already! |

Well I've certainly garnered alot of interest, in people wanting to buy and others with advice of what the issue could be, because of this I'm going to withdraw it from sale for the time being and try and source the idling issue myself.
I feel this is the right path to go down right now as there's not many of these around and it would pain me to see it stripped or used as a donor without me first trying, hope everyone interested understands. Regards |

Once everyone else has done the heavy lifting for you, you've swivelled

I there were a few in the queue ahead who would have purchased this had it not been withdrawn.
I was due to collect this on the weekend but it was withdrawn from sale, which I understand, we are all entitled to change out minds. The car is cheap but can also become a money pit to put right. Even though I would've loved to purchase this, I think it's fair and great that furryhobnob is going to have a crack at it. Forums are all about helping other members and I'm sure it can be sorted proving the OP has time and budget to sort it. Others may have a different view and they are entitled to it. I'll await the fix thread, let's see if we can help out and solve this one
