Did you end up going to the coast ?

Yeah I did... funny story...

Time will tell I guess. Got spares in the car in case there's another shit fit. It's still a bit spitty.

What was the cause of the problem? Or did you do a 'Fuck it, I'm replacing everything' fix?

what was it ?

I'm guessing that it was a coil pack. Have replaced it with one of McFly's spares, and so far so good. Have the spare loom and another coil pack in the car just in case it's the loom, or multiple coil packs. I think tomorrow I'm going to pull all 6 out, and re-insulate them even if they look like they don't need it. I don't see why it would still be spitting with new spark plugs.

Oh... and any guesses as to why my oil pressure sits low at idle, then increases to around 4 under acceleration?

oil pump is driven off the crank so more revs = more oil through the engine = higher oil pressure. Should be around 2ish at idle and then up to 4 under acceleration.. I think.

Had a better look tonight. It drops to almost nothing when idling, and goes up no higher than 4 when under load. Usually sits between 2 and 3.

It used to just build up to just under 4, and stay there until the engine was off.

Was behavior acceptable?

    • Ohh even easier.   Go dial up 700rpm on the hand controller. Rip off the TPS plug, wait till the idle drops and then adjust the IACV screw so it's just a tad below the target on the hand controller (say 650rpm), plug the TPS back in and idle will climb back to target. Done.
    • Hey Sleepergm, I love your inlet piping, do u mind sharing who did the work, please? cheers, Ian
    • Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.
    • Ah right that makes sense.
    • The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc.
