    Bought a van under lockdown that would start but not rev. Previous owner had ECU replaced, throttle pedal , brake sensor and various other things.
    Turns out was map sensor causing it to idle but not rev. New map sensor and wiring and it runs like a dream.

    Muck Fe, that has been ragged to an inch beyond its life, they must have drove it like they stole it. I'd be sticking a dual mass in it, there has been some heat through that

    Thanks for posting this today.😁 I'd used up most of my usual channels ! One thing that crossed my mind... why bodge up the drivers door with a touch up pen, rather than find a in colour replacement. It seems a shame when the rest of the car is so good ? Surely it would add a larger amount to the selling price ?

    • @SeriousAboutSalvage
