3b20t intermitant miss at WOT.. ??

This is very typical of the PCV plumbing. Inside that valve is a diaphragm which gets sucked shut by vacuum when you close the throttle, it's normal to see though it like that so it's probably ok. The flame trap is a little ball of wire that is supposed to be jammed in the pipe below that valve , my car either never had one or it fell out into the crankcase, I left it out.

You see in the pic of the pipe with the T you have a place where 2 rubber pipes of different sizes join? There's a one-way valve that lives there which needs to be working correctly

i do see it now and cheers, will check that in the morning, and price up the hose that i need ect.. btw did i read you had a samco kit on yours, how complete is this kit. ?

[stocious]

anyone ever delete the aircon on one of these? not much use where i live..

[Drummer87]

My aircon has the belt off... Pita to remove from rad. Pita full stop having ac

I have Samco Boost and water kits and I made a metal T piece to replace the other (expensive ) hose that is below the black valve and Ts up to the back of the head.

I later ditched the PCV system (and carbon canister) altogether and fitted a catch tank as I was running a lot more boost and didn't want to send oil vapour back into the inlet in case of detonation..

My aircon is deleted.

well i have all three rads out now and my small front one is knackerd. . while i have them out the i was thinking of chucking the pump off too, ive read on here that these cars run just fine with that small rad removed so i might just chuck that aswell! as long as removing the aircon dont cost money in any way, its goin

[Drummer87]

My aux rad (small rad) has gone, easier for jobs like timing etc. but also gives better air flow to the engine. I can cruise on motorways and the temp will go half way between first line and 90 so it does cool the car down nicely.

Air con shouldn't cost you to remove. Just trace all parts and get that pulley out. Lose some weight and sell the parts to an owner who needs it like in Australia or states

[newsh]

Small rad out, cut the pipes short and plug them. Unbolt the AC compressor and disconnect from system, that is most of your weight and you might sell it for a few quid (I did) beware of the bracket low down on the engine that side, don't remove it and chuck it away as you will get a mystery oil leak, don't ask me how I know Some of the pipes are difficult to remove without removing a bunch of other stuff, I've been working on it for a while..

thought did cross my mind about putting the air con on ebay today when i coudnt get the pipe off the bottom of it atfer i had rads loose , i had to take pipe off at pump and got a wet back from coolant lol.. its not going back on twice as easy to put rads back in i bet to and fan ect..

[newsh]

Yeah, with the AC and Aux rad and the plastic rad shrouds out of the way, everything gets easier

[stocious]

[newsh]

Stock plugs (FDPOR??) and Fuchs Titan Race full synth.
