Goodo.

That AAV is jammed shut.

This snap shows my booster hose, BUT, mine runs a slightly different set up (its complicated and Australian). That "braided" looking hose is the OE hose, and that spigot is on top of the RH inlet REAR end plate.

unfortunately the AAV is ok , it was open when I took it off and when I heated it up it closed off ok. So its back to together and still the same (although it bit rough again I will check the TPS again tomorrow) As soon as it gets warm and the temp gauge moves it seems more or less ok but if I run it and turn it off when cold you have to put the throttle on the floor to make it fire up again sometimes it will just die others it will start at about 300 and slowly build up to 800 then sit there. I still can't find the booster vac hose I've added a pic of mine the braided hose goes to a steel pipe that crosses the bulkhead and terminates at the bottom of the MC Sorry this is a new toy for me I'm more used to small triumphs.


Is it worth checking the distributor cap , looks like a nightmare to get to

You won't have a booster pipe, you have ABS.
