yeah starts up no problems , will rum at 2000 revs but as it warms up the revs drop and stalls , i can keep it running by the pedal , the car has sat for about 1 1/2 years , if the idle screw is adjusted it seems to rev so high , should the (wur) have power at the plug?? nice one for replying to my pal ,

Wow loads of info! Thanks I don't know how the car even runs it has no power to thermos switch. Air device or W u regulator? By the way the exhaust have been replaced and the cat is gone! This weekend if I don't find power I will try to get a live from something else...

Couldn't find a pink /or purple relay...but this car is fitted with an cream electric box (engine run senor)maybe an American add on? Don't know...also a duraspark box in the engine bay ....just can't find the power source ..will be busy thls weekend, and its so hot here its been in the 90s to the 100s for weeks so that could be helping me?
