    Lightened Crankshaft Pulley sounds quite interesting may have to have a look into that..... Car still behaving itself after resealing the MAP sensor, apart from the laggy throttle so pretty pleased. I guess its 30 odd years of driving cars with a throttle cable and trying to get used to fly by...

    Car idles rock solid when warm at 800-900 rpm. When started from cold it sits at 1100 ish for about 2 minutes then drops to 8-900 although it's a little erratic until it reaches the second temp marker. On the plus side this morning it was a good drive in appears to be a different car (as in...

    It was the garage I bought the car from just a regular 2nd hand car sales place (they are trading standards approved though so I could have some comeback if it has been done incorrectly).... I asked them to do it as a condition of sale but I didn't realise it was a specialist job at the time...

    I don't think I have a faulty MAP sensor as I saw an improvement when I cable tied it down, although after a couple of weeks it seemed to go back to its old ways but I noticed it had loosened off a bit I guess with the under bonnet heat and cheap cable ties.

    Thanks for the help I have searched and read up quite a lot on the sprintbooster and from what I read I thought it would fit the bill, I also searched about remaps but it didnt appear to be that relevant as my car is totally standard and I had never thought I would need to spend £300-400 just to...

    I don't think i'm exaggerating and I know some of it is down to a different car characteristics but pulling out on to the roundabout leaving work it not the same experience it was in a lower powered car. I wish I had looked in to it a little more before I bought it but never expected a fairly...

    Throttle response

    Hi guys so I have owned my 197 for a couple of months now but still can't get used to the throttle response feeling so dead especially from a standstill (came from a MX5 ). I don't dare try and pull out into a small gap in case I mistime it plus my wife won't drive the car as it only seems to...
