Over revving and other issues

[Rissy]

Disconnecting the thermotime switch will have the same effect as disconnecting the CSV itself. It's just a different way of preventing the CSV from firing. Pulling the plug on the CSV disconnects its firing mechanism entirely, and disconnecting the thermotime switch disconnects its ground path, which also prevents it from firing, save for a potential short of course, but i've never heard of that ever being experienced by anyone before.


However, from what Tris expanded with yesterday with his little bit of a poke around, i'm now not suspecting that at all to be the problem.

I'm suspecting ECU again, or a sticky vacuum membrane in the distributor (or the vacuum solenoid circuit which drives it) (if all the throttle body gubbins checks out ok, which as i've said already, requires a proper strip down to assess from the butterflies right through, and includes the spool etc as discussed before, above.)
