Update:

So car has been off road since November as it needed a few issues sorting but due to starting final year at uni and internship, I haven't had time to do anything really and by the time I get home, it's already dark lol.

 

So in mean time I was back to driving my old trusty MB3. I'm really loving the economy it gives lol.

 

As Spring is just around the corner, I really want the car ready for summer. So in the weekend I charged the battery overnight and car started straight away.  :-)

 

First issue I started to diagnose was the ABS light. Error code showed 11 which is Front Right sensor. So I removed the wheel and was welcomed with this.  :-( The grease was all over the ABS ring.

This also explains why the knocking noise. I thought it be easier to replace the whole thing so ordered new driveshaft from J&R and fitted it the other day.

ABS light gone  :-)

Although I did have a battle with the ball joint as the f*cker wouldn't pop out and now it looks like I've ruined the thread as it is spinning. So a new one is on the order.

Thanks for liking everyone, still more to come, new Rota wheels, coilovers etc but for now I want to fix the issues and get it back on road.

 

My main concern is to sort idle hunt and misfire issue out. Today I started car up and let it idle for 5 minutes then I unplugged HT leads to check for spark and yes all 4 have spark and I can see engine hesitating when each of the plug is removed. So I assume my leads are fine? What’s next thing I check for?

 

As for idle hunt, there are many causes for this as you know and I am following this article on fixing it.

I first tried to bleed cooling system but car doesn’t seem to warm up even after an hour as temp needle doesn’t go above 1/4 so I replaced the thermostat and it made no difference but I think I may have put thermostat wrong because I was watching a video on how to replace it and it showed the pin needs to face upwards whereas I just slotted mine in without checking where the pin is. I may have since done 200-300 miles like this. Would it be ok to remove and re insert the thermostat properly or just replace it?

 

I’ve also cleaned IACV but no luck. I haven’t tried a replacement one yet as no luck in getting my hands on one so far.

 

Also the link mentions FITV, fast idle thermo valve but I can’t seem to find it. Does B18C4 not have this?
