I know this has been dragged to death but help please. I have been looking for WIM geo settings ref all the tracking specs. My misses 01 is200 sport has killed her front tyres and well its time for renewal so if some one can post me the links or send me a pm with the specs that be really greatful. thanks Jules

if I had this problem in my car I would be think hot/cold start valve or idle valve or worst case tps sensor screwed or come to think of it air leak. I spent long time going thru the "search" last nite and nothing shows up sigh. I checked coolant levels, and everything else , misses is is getting annoyed as she had to leave the car running for 10 mons this morning before she could drive off.

just been out to check the carpet in the car and thats fine so I am still up for any ideas

will have a look when I get home but would this not happen all the time?? Reason I ask is that once the car s is warmed up it drives perfectly with no glitches at all.

Car is serviced and when the car warms up is running perfectly. Wot do you mean by the "carpet" gents

when engine is hot and warmed up she will sit at normal revs all day (under a 1k) I am possibly thing throttle sensor, any ideas anyone . misses is due soon (baby) and I need the car in tip top condition. cheers

The car will tick over normally on choke/idle on start up which is about normal but when you pull away and change gear the revs go up to about 3-5 k !!!! and stay there. You have to use brakes to bring it back down! not good but as I said no management light is on and drives fine when hot. Thanks Julian

Hi all, Got a problem with my misses is200 sport which is starting to become very annoying. On COLD mornings the car starts as usual but when you go to pull away the car will over rev and hold it self at high revs. The only way to bring it down is to dump the clutch slightly so as to force it bak down which is really bothering the other half. When the car is nice and warm all is perfect and drives as it should all day long. I have taken the throttle boddy off (pain that was) and thoughly cleaned it with brake cleaner inside and out and it hasnt made any difference. I have checked all the componants round the engine bay all appears to be sweat, checked the throttle cable for any snags and nothing either. There is no engine managment being flashed up either so I can only assume there is a mechanical issue . Help any one? I am finking hot cold start valve if there is one on this engine? Many thanks Jules

thanks for comments lads, I liked the sound of the sounder from the is200 so I wanted to retrofit to another car that was all jules

so if its on the instrument cluster can it be detached if you take the cluster out? or would I have to get a cluster and completly take it apart

Ok when you pull the hand brake up you get the internal sounder going off , well where is the sounder situated????? I am after one for a project but I dont know were it is in the dash board Jules

Morning all, Fitted some aftermarket hids to the ladys car last week end 6k versions , much much better lol. Passenger side bulb was an absolute sod to do but got my hands in there in the end.. Slowly have got all the parts done , am guna get the top engine plastics done next as they are in bits ouch. Misses has pointed out that the cd stops quite frequently now especially if you go any bumps in the road so i will be keeping an eye on that and will see. jules

|okay well yours may be a seprate issue but i eventually found the water leeak in the misses car. it was coming in from under the rear window. I had it removed and loads of goo reapplied. Bin bone dru ever since. There were a total of 4 leaks to deal with thou, 2 under the screen and 2 on the boot lip join Anyway as I said boot is completely dry now for the last couple of months, i gave the boot a spray of silver wheel paint and it looks nice and sweet now jules

ok, havn't had much time to check the boot this week as bin busy and we have had a fair bit of rain , so i just poped out to have a look and the boot is bone dry . finally I can stop thinging about the water , yeah got to do a bit of finishing off as regards to sealant but I will do it when dry. Now the misses has turned round and said the handbrake isint that good so will give that ago on the weekend. jules

well a litle play wont do any harm, the other half loves the car so much that she wants to know what i do to her car now , so i dunno if I am going to be able to do a sly one and do some decat work on it lol .
