RetroRob Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Got a couple of problems with my gte it idles high about 1500ish and got a annoying rattle when warm , I've replaced temp sender and sensor , waterpump, thermostat, had the injectors cleaned and refurbished and new injector plates but still the same , think the rattle may be timing chain needs doing but only done 69k , any one know of a decent garage around Northampton area who could sort this out, Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 You might have an idle control valve fault if it’s a 2.0 GTE? I have high idle issue on my 2.2i Carlton but cured it by putting a 2p piece in the pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I used a 4mm drill bit. I think I’ve opened it up a bit more to 5mm and it brought the high idle back again, so I drilled another back at 4mm. Cost so far, 4p. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
