Dunno what the old car was, but please ask Ade what the device looks like and where I can find it?...My Haynes Manual is cr*p and no help at all. The lad is in a strop cos his car won't work, CP's retired to a darkened room, the daughter just came in, totally blanked us and went to bed, the dogs eating frogs, and I just want to fix the car. Your (and Ade's help is really really appreciated Ali). Thanks. |

The device is fitted just above the throttle linkage. When you rev up the engine, and release the throttle this holds the throttle linkage slightly open, and after a little while allows the linkage to slowly close. This should just unbolt.
It is controlled by vacuum. Most likely, it is the mixture at fault, especially after you mentioned that you have been fiddling with it, previously.
Also check has the oil filler cap got hoses to the air filter, these need to be cleaned as the engine breathes into the air filter, via the filler cap. Check that all vacuum hoses are fitted by insuring you cannot hear a hissing sound, when the engine is running.
Let me know how you get on with these. |

| I would spray a branded very enviromentally unsound carb cleaner through the air intake whilst keeping the revs high, slow return of revs could be gunk in the throttle body |
