Hi fellas, Not been on here for a while been busy with work. I'm thinking of doing a engine conversion with me Cav. I'm wanting more power and speed now from her. She is a 1.8 LS good little engine but i want more now. I'm just after some hints, tips and advice really before i make my final decision...

I've checked the throttle cable and thats fine and linkage is fine. I've had the car running and pushed the butterfly valve with a screwdriver gentle and its completely shut. I still think its something to do with the TPS. Sometimes when I pull away she bunny hops like she running out of fuel but th...

Two for me please dave

I disconnected this mate http://www.vauxhallworldparts.com/vauxh ... r=17106682 and it idle fine.

I've done some playing about and disconnected the TPS started the car and no high revs just very lumpy and throttle response was slow. Reconnected the TPS and was high revving again. Im going to find another TPS to see if that was the problem. What do you guys think?

Just wondered if anyone is interested going to this. Its all going to a good cause. £3 a car at the gate you can give more if you would like. This event is on the 28th June at the Queen Victoria country park Southampton.

I will be there ive still got the high rev problem but will be there.

I've done a little investigation when I have had time. What I have done is sprayed carb cleaner down the throttle body and let it set for a while. Starts the car and its running smoothly like normal but after a while driving it the revs start to creep back up again. Is this something blocked or stic...

The EGR valve the breather hose on the side took that off with the car running are you able to feel anything from that little pipe on the EGR like sucking or blowing?

Hi fellas thanks for the replies. Today I have taken off the icv in my opinion it dont look like it has been in there for a couple of months. When you have taken it out could you compress the pointed end in and out because doesn't move at all. Is it soppose to?

Ever since I've had its never done it when warm just cold start. From cold start it does fluctuate from 2500 revs to 3000 it dont get higher then that. Could it be automatic choke? Its not sticky throttle is it?

Is there any way I can test it or will it show any signs that it needs changing?

Hi all Just brought a new cav 1.8 8 valve single point injection and only on cold starts she will rev up to 3000 rpm but warmed up the car is 100%. The previous owner has changed ht leads, plugs, dizzy cap, icv and gave it a good de grease with carb cleaner. Does anyone know straight away what it co...

Still have the white one and I still love it but needs to much doing to it and its getting hard on funds now. So I might aswell get a more up together one that doesn't need much doing to it. Also its a smaller engine so I might save a bit more on petty. Whats the 1.8 8 valver like anyway?

Haven't been on here for a while but im going to look at a cav 1.8 ls saloon next week and just wanted to know what to look out for.

Regards

Adam

I will be going and my cav will look a bit different hopefully next year
