After a fair few issues recently the car has been running great the last few days. Come to turn the key today, massive back fire and now it idles at 3000 revs. What the hell is going on? and right before Sliverstone Classics.

Anybody have any clues what this may be? I have checked (what I think) is the vac pipe which attaches to the manifold and it seems to be okay.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The pipe work all seems in order with no restricted flow. Have serviced my BOV in case it was stuck open. I seriously hope it's not a cracked manifold.

I can't test it anymore as the battery seems to be dead.

Does anyone want to buy a Noble? I'm seriously getting ticked off with it,

I assume you guys are talking about the intake manifold?

It doesn't but have checked the cable and it's moving freely. The butterfly is also snapping back to a fully closed position. Cracked manifold would make sense as I can't find any loose pipes or leaks anywhere else. Am I right in thinking the manifold is from a ford escape?

You sure? This puppy looks like it would be a straight swap.
