whoisashley Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi my V8 Classic refuses to run smoothly until warmed up . Before, this was not too bad but now if i walk away for to long she stalls. Is it possible to adjust the automatic choke as i thing it isn't opening up enough when first started, or is it something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'll guess flapper then ? Prob the Extra Air Valve, its the thing on the front of the inlet manifold next to the thermostat thingy Have a habit of dying, they can be obtained sh cheap cheap cgheap, I haven't got one sorry, think they are hideously silly spendy new so ask on classifieds here ? I assume that once warmed up all OK, if not then suspect CTS HTH Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried a new (second hand extra air valve - your right, it is a pain in the a£$e) and it didn't make any difference. . Been asking all over the place (only just found this place ) and the latest is "try the M.A.F". Any thoughts? ps. sorry to hijack the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean Manifold air Temp Sensor - Erm - isn't one :LOL; Or Air Flow Meter ?...in which case yes possibly.... but when these go wrong often the whole rev range misbehaves and coughs and gurgles CTS - coolant temp sensors can also cause misfires poor running / rich running However for start up the EAV often being just a basic bimetal strip get glued up with carbon deposits and muck, a new one often sorts it out Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
