Mike- Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Love how you half fixed the problem with tape, then still asking what the issue is. Pretty clear you need to actually replace the split hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike- Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 How do you know this? Not suggesting you try it, but have you ever put your hand over a throttle body while the engine is running? There's a significant amount of suction. Even a pinhole will make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_330 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 it was the lower pipe the one which meets the throttle body and icv and the it was only the little icv hose that had split once refitted started the car drove it for a few miles then got back home sprayed brake cleaner all round the hose that id repaired/bodged no change in idle speed at all where as before it was irratic ive changed the fuel filter and the fuel coming out of the old filter was black under a year old , i almost would say fuel pump is dying? as it can be fine for 5 miles then be straight back to how is was like theres no fuel getting through under load around 3000rpm it plays up then park up leave the car for an hour go back out and its fine again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
