Bit of a teaser this one. Garage that brought car to me knows little of the cars history as it's a new customer. Customer knows little of car as he's not had it long. Car fails MOT on emissions.3 codes in memory:- 01 Coolant sensor. 06 Manifold to ECM vac pipe. 07 TPS MAP, TPS, CTS all ok on live data. Gas readings: O2 1.47% Co2 12.9% HC 437 CO 1.07% Lambda 1.02 Driveability is ok according to garage (didn't have time to test it myself). Idles ok, a very picky person might say slight misfire. Engine does seem to get rather hot when idling. Checked for airleaks, cleaned MAP sensor tube. Idle vacuum is 34-35 kPa. Not sure what's happening with this one, maybe it's cat but I don't think so. I am a bit concerned that the valve timing is out. Any ideas? Shaun.
