problem worthy of lols...

dude u broke it already?????

you should have a professional take a look at it

Fitting a new manifold ain't rocket science...


So after a drive tonight I think I worked something else out. When I disengage gear/clutch, it will idle alright but if I put my foot on the brake then it will drop. That's gotta be something to do with the brake booster vacuum line...?

Must be rocket science if you can't figure it out, Mickey..

Just so I know, is this something related to an immobiliser? My car doesn't have one so there's no chip issues.

yea mine was an immobilser / ecu fault. hope all is well

Thanks for contributing to another thread with information!

Just fyi, there's nothing wrong with the manifold. There's got to be something wrong with either my fuel pressure, or a vacuum line...


Coming home tonight, cruising in 5th gear at like 2500rpm, if i put my foot on the clutch and disengage the gear, it stalls. Tried it three times and it stalled three times.

guess you'll just have to keep slowly accelerating till you reach your destination... Saves petrol not slowing down for intersections ect too

Hahahaha sorry was just too funny not to quote, good luck though

Isn't it likely to be something to do with the manifold since its the last thing you changed on the car

[Mrk_Mickey]

What's so hard about unbolting an old manifold and bolting on another?

Nothing.




What's gone wrong with any other specifications that I don't know about?

Gee, I think if I knew, I wouldn't be asking anyone else.



Manifold is on, and it's fine. Something that I'm not sure of has obviously not enjoyed the manifold change and is now giving me issues to have to deal with. That's why I'm asking, because I'm not sure on what it is and it's usually worth asking a nice bunch of people on a forum because lots of people know different things. If you've got nothing constructive to add to the thread then just save your time, and whinge about me doing my own manifold change on vortex or something.



Anyone else?

I know it's a cow of a job, but if it was me and I was doing it myself (chances of that in reality are slim to none though) i'd put the old one back on and see if it did the same thing... Is that good logic or have i just said something really stupid and need to get back in my box?

Or if you have my luck - as soon as you fix one thing, another thing goes wrong (i've been without my VR more often than not in the last month because of that happening).

Annnother thing i just thought of before i posted - one of my friends had a massive crack/leak in his manifold and lost about 70kw and it used to sputter and carry on, it is on a Mitsubishi RVR though (he dyno'd it before when it was running fine and when it was stuffed).

Nah you're on the right track Steph, it is a huge pain but it's exactly what I was planning to do if my old ISV didn't do the trick. I sincerely hope this manifold isn't cracked, either!
