Replacing it tomorrow at 2pm, or rather the garage is.. desperation measure because I've replaced practically everything else. Idle misfire that isn't, in order, plugs, coil, injectors, isc, map/iat because they've all been changed or tested working perfectly. Once it hits 1300-1500rpm depending on its mood it feels like someone strapped a turbo on it (the first time I almost planted it in a wall), idle fuel has gone from 2.8 to 3.4l/h on the HUD but everything above 1300rpm perfectly normal. It's been running rich which I can now only assume is to do with the downstream O2 getting brain weebles and reporting lean after the cat, so the mixture goes rich. Everything screams blockage.. oh and on start up it creates the most amazing stink known to human kind..
The replacement is a Klarius maniverter, which I have HT painted in black to protect it a little and help it radiate some heat. If I can get a unit for £130 I'm not going to drop £400 for the manufacturer one, but I'll be really annoyed if it turns out to solve the problem because all the experts have told me I'm wrong for over a year..
