Power steering sensor on the front of the car causes all sorts of funny things to happen to the running of the engine - seen it with my own eyes. Had a couple of cars come in with running probs - changed the sensor all sorted

Just my 2 pence worth if all usual suspects fail Smile

Nope car will run fine without that pipe


Pretty sure that *could* be causing the problem. Yes - the car will run fine if nothing is connected to the cam over outlet, but at the other end of that pipe it is connected to the inlet behind the throttle plate so the engine can suck unmetered air through the pipe causing it to rev.

Could explain why the problem only kicks in after a while...could be that the pipe heats up a bit and the split allows air / more air down into the engine.

Unsure
