joorsh Forums Junkie Registered: June 2003	Re: 7mgte cooling issues Thu, 17 March 2005 12:15 With regards to your idle woes, I've found the 7M idle control doesn't like aftermarket mods. If you throw pod filters, big intercoolers, different AFM's, aftermarket plub-black/bovs on them... they start to get grumpy. It messes with the idle sensor. A simple tap on the idle sensor hose should fix your problems (provided this is all that is causing it). The best way to fix the problem of mods effecting your idle is to obviously get an aftermarket ecu, but if like me that's not quite within reach of your budget, then this does the trick: It's just a manual valve so you can restrict airflow or open it right up. Twiddle with it till you get a happy 700rpm or so idle, and then put a little texta mark for the position in case it gets bumped. I find I have one mark for summer and one for winter. Remember though - it could be something other than aftermarket modifications that is causing your idle to go spaz. Let us know how you go with a different radiator cap - I'm thinking about changing mine too. Let us know which cap you decide to get and how it effects your baby. With regards to your overheating, I believe it was mentioned earlier by Danners that it could also be air in your cooling system (I think the radiator cap is probably a better bet, but it's worth exploring all possibilities). One good way I found to make sure it is all properly bled is to disconnect this hose here: Fill the radiator at the cap until coolant starts coming out of the hose at the back. Try not to trap any air back there when you reconnect, and be sure to run it with the cap off, constantly topping up as the bubbles surface. [Report message to a moderator]
