You can open it with CCCP

What can cause this.

Foot on break and Clutch, engine revs spike from 500 -> 2k and back again very quicky.

1st thinking is… does the car have something that kicks in when it thinks the car is going to stall??

Oh sorry for the music,

AC\DC are still good :oops:

Thank you.

also does it do it when in neutral pressing the brake dunno why it would only do it when pushing the clutch in aswell.

I am thinking its only doing that as theres no resistance to the engine with the clutch disengadged so if the servo pipe was broken it could be the reason

also put it on the way it comes off as I am sure its a 1 way system

I did find out today that it happens when nothing pressed, (handbreak on and out of gear)

my dad has a nissan almera 1.4 and ALL the dials go haywire, turn off, you do 60 and the speedo says 110 and nissan told him he needs a whole new unit

That could be a plug dying so its service time or my equipe did that when I first got it, it turned out one of the plug leads on the plastic bit going into the engine block had a crack in the side and the spark was earthing through that crack leaving one plug not firing

The newer ones are from Roc the uprated red versions.

I have noticed that it only happens if i'm on a short run and teh engine just gets to temp (on the dash) on longer run's it won't happen.

Coolant Temp Sensor - Sensor does degrade in signal response with time, a failing CTS does not always raise a fault code it just provides the ECU with an incorrect coolant temperature. Will eventually supply a bad reading out of ECU tolerance (which is when a code is raised). Symptoms can include poor start, rough idle and rich running/poor petrol economy.

If its hunting its usually vacuum.
